Construction of the Postal Delivery Base, Zell am See

Project objectives

In a newly developed commercial area on the former airfield site in Zell am See, a new delivery base of the Austrian Post AG is to be built on more than 2,000 m².

Project description

The subsoil in the Zell basin consists mainly of very fine-grained, peaty, water-saturated, and therefore very soft soils. To precisely investigate the subsoil, trial pits and cone penetration tests (CPT) were conducted to a depth of up to 20 m below the ground surface and analysed. Based on the results, the existing soils were classified, geotechnically assessed, and proposals for the foundation, excavation support, and dewatering of the construction pit were developed.
