Aluminum grating, rotec ceiling suspension in Stuttgart 21 main station
The major project Stuttgart 21 is one of the largest transportation infrastructure projects in Germany. In addition to the redesign and conversion of Stuttgart Central Station, it also includes the construction of several underground stations, including the underground station at Stuttgart Central Station and Stuttgart Mitte Station. As part of this project, rotec GmbH Berlin supplied a total of 3,200 m² of aluminum grating for the ceiling suspensions, which were specially adapted to the high requirements of Deutsche Bahn.
Aluminum grating as a central design element
An aluminum grating was used with the Mesh size 35.4 x 100 mm and a bearing bar of 40/3 mm with an attachment specially developed for station ceilings. The ability to produce gratings up to a length of 6000 mm and a width of 1280 mm without edging means that large ceiling modules can be used as continuous elements. This contributes to a homogeneous and modern ceiling appearance that meets the requirements of the overall architectural concept.
Technical advantages of aluminum gratings
Adaptations to rail-specific requirements
In order to meet the specific requirements of Deutsche Bahn, rotec worked closely with the renowned structural engineering firm KREBS+KIEFER Ingenieure GmbH. Together, a modified ceiling fastening was developed that meets the requirements of the DIN EN 13964 for suspended ceilings. This standard regulates the mechanical properties of ceilings, fire protection requirements and hygiene requirements.
Particular attention was paid to the following parameters
Challenges and successful implementation
The realization of the project was not without its challenges. However, the close cooperation of all those involved made it possible to adhere to the strict specifications and tight schedule. The punctual delivery of the aluminum gratings testifies to the high reliability and commitment of rotec GmbH.
Special thanks are due to the partners and employees who have made a significant contribution to the success of the project through their commitment.
Certifications and quality assurance
The quality of the gratings supplied by rotec is guaranteed by extensive certifications. These include, among others:
DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 - Quality management
DIN EN 1090-1/2 (EXC 1+2) - Execution of steel and aluminum structures
DIN EN ISO 3834-3 - Welding quality requirements
These certifications guarantee the consistently high quality and safety of the products, so that building owners and planners can count on rotec as a reliable partner.
Conclusion: aluminum gratings for demanding projects
The Stuttgart 21 project shows how important the combination of high technical precision and customized solutions in complex building projects. The aluminum gratings from rotec make a decisive contribution to the functionality and aesthetics of suspended ceilings and impress with their many technical advantages.
