Bridge renovation in Biblis: CSZ replaces bearings on the Weschnitz Bridge

As part of extensive maintenance measures, CSZ replaced the bearings of the Weschnitz Bridge on Bürstädter Straße, Biblis, in June. The decision to replace the existing roller bearings was made due to severe corrosion, which was significantly impairing their functionality.
To replace the bearings, the entire bridge superstructure was raised by a few millimetres to relieve the existing bearings and prepare for the removal. After removal, new elastomer bearings were installed. CSZ carried out the static calculations in order to select the optimum bearings for the specific requirements. Planning and execution were carried out in close cooperation with the construction company carrying out the work.
This measure is part of a comprehensive infrastructure maintenance program and contributes significantly to the long-term safety and functionality of the Weschnitz Bridge. CSZ is continuously committed to the modernization and maintenance of bridge structures in order to meet current and future requirements.

CSZ at the BASF Corporate Cup 2024: A strong team in action!

At the beginning of June, thousands of runners from 570 companies gathered at the Hockenheimring to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the BASF Company Cup. With ideal running weather and a great atmosphere, this was the perfect opportunity to be active together.
The CSZ team once again proved that it is not only a strong team in everyday working life, but also in sport. The 25 “freewheeling engineers” impressively demonstrated how team spirit and fun can help to overcome personal boundaries: Every single one of them lapped the Grand Prix circuit of the Hockenheimring with flying colors.
We are incredibly proud of you! 👏🏻 Congratulations to all participants!

CSZ-Building Physics: The Ernst Reuter School in Frankfurt on the way to a modern learning environment

The Ernst Reuter School in Frankfurt’s Nordweststadt district is about to undergo extensive modernization. As an integrated comprehensive school with inclusive teaching and an upper secondary school, it urgently needs to be renovated and extended due to rising pupil numbers and new educational concepts.
CSZ was commissioned with the planning of the building physics, which includes a wide range of services: thermal building physics, building acoustics, room acoustics, sound immission, thermal insulation, sound insulation and sound immission forecasts. CSZ-Building Physics is currently in the decisive service phase 3, in which detailed planning and calculations are carried out in order to meet the highest standards.
The aim of the refurbishment and extension of the school is to adapt the buildings to modern requirements for free and flexible learning. This includes a core refurbishment in line with listed buildings as well as adaptations to current pedagogical and structural standards. There are also plans to build a new classroom wing, several halls, an indoor swimming pool and multifunctional buildings such as a canteen, assembly hall, media library, self-learning center and specialist rooms for science lessons.
It is particularly noteworthy that the school ensemble, designed by architect Franz Schuster in 1961, was listed in 2020. The school was designed from the outset as a model and experimental school and is now considered a pioneer of the comprehensive school concept.
This project, which includes the renovation and extension of the existing buildings as well as new buildings, is an outstanding example of the future-oriented development of school buildings. CSZ is proud to contribute its expertise in building physics and is grateful for the excellent cooperation. We will keep you informed of further progress.
