The construction project |
The architecture is filigree and flooded with light, and arched structures across the Stadtbahn catch the eye. It has been a construction and logistics challenge since the foundation stone was laid in 1998.
Technical challenge
The construction of the new Berlin Hauptbahnhof is a logistics masterpiece
While constructing the excavation pits, groundwater levels were constantly monitored, bridges were built while operations continued, and 1.5 million cubic metres of soil removed by barge, which would otherwise have resulted in a 1,300 km long convoy of trucks.
