Tabea Krankenhaus
GermanyCompany Name: Trockenbau Schönberger UG
Project description
A complete new floor with exclusive rooms for private patients was added to the Tabea hospital in the heart of Hamburg. Trockenbau Schönberger was responsible for the complete interior work. Various elaborate and technically complex fire protection systems were designed, coordinated with architects and fire experts and later realised with Glasroc® F. An extraordinary challenge was to find a shaft-wall solution for the expansion joint between the existing building and the extension which could provide for unexpected building movements and at the same time meet the fire protection requirement of F90. With extraordinary technical craftsmanship and the use of Rigips® high performance products, Trockenbau Schönberger created a perfect environment that meets the requirements of modern everyday hospital life.

Key Challenges
To execute this project a very close cooperation of all parties involved was necessary.
A special challenge was the realisation of all specifications and requirements regarding statics, fire protection, sound insulation and design elements. Various individual details and special solutions had to be developed and approved by the city of Hamburg.
For example the connection of the new floor to the existing building was very complicated and many problems were solved on the building site in close cooperation with all parties. Due to unexpected building movements (expansion joint) a special structural solution had to be found.
