Implenia wins building construction projects in Swiss Mittelland-Building projects worth more than CHF 100 million | Total contractor jobs in Rheinfelden (AG) and Deisswil (BE)

Dietlikon, 7 August 2018-Implenia has announced two major orders in the Mittelland region. Working as total contractor, the Group is building two complex real estate projects worth more than CHF 100 million in total.

In Deisswil, Implenia has been asked to undertake the conversion, renovation and new construction work at the Bernapark development on the site of a former cardboard factory. The project owner, Berna Industrie- und Dienstleistungspark AG, is building a new district for modern community living and working just outside the city of Bern. As well as homes and premises for commercial and service activities, the district will offer a daycare centre, day school, covered market, health centre, visitor experiences and several restaurants. Implenia is handling the demolition work, earthquake-proofing and conversion of existing buildings, as well as new construction work. There will be around 24,000 m2of commercial and service premises with space for more than 500 jobs, while the 173 rental apartments, totalling 17,500 m2in size, will offer standard configurations. With around 300 people from more than 40 companies currently working on site, construction logistics and security present a particular challenge. Demolition work is starting this summer, and the finished buildings will gradually be handed over to the project owner in 2020 and 2021.

In Rheinfelden, meanwhile, Implenia has been asked by project owner FR Immobilien AG to build 155 rental apartments and 3,000 m2of commercial space on the site of the former Densa veneer factory. As total contractor, Implenia is bringing several of its specialist capabilities to the project, including foundation engineering-construction pit sealing and dewatering-and decontamination. Designed by architectural firm Luca Selva AG, the new development, which is located just by the railway station in Rheinfelden, is being built to the Minergie-P standard and will have a clinker façade in tribute to its industrial heritage. Work begins in August 2018, and the apartments will be ready for occupation at the end of 2020.

These order acquisitions reflect Implenia's strong local presence and the Group's capabilities as a powerful partnerfor building construction and site repurposing.
