PORR builds new EWE site in Delmenhorst to DGNB Gold Standard

PORR Hochbau Region Nord is acting as general contractor for HBG Bauträger GmbH to build a new administration building to the DGNB Gold Standard for sustainable construction. The tenant of the new building will be the utility company EWE AG. In addition to the administration building, the contract also includes the construction of all outdoor facilities including parking spaces, outbuildings, earthworks and a green roof. On 7 July, Delmenhorst's mayor Petra Gerlach, investor Ralf van Döllen, EWE store director Dr Christian Friege, PORR Oldenburg branch manager Matthias Burwinkel and other representatives from administration and politics met for the symbolic ground-breaking ceremony.

The plot size for the new administration building in Delmenhorst, which is being built on Stickgraser Allee, /corner of Syker Straße, is 3,714 m2. For the client, adherence to costs and deadlines are particularly important in this project. The team understood the need and convinced with an all-round carefree package. In order to guarantee customised construction services within the agreed time and cost budget, construction is carried out on the basis of optimised processes according to the methods of LEAN Construction. The application enables smooth project coordination and transparent communication channels to clearly determine and analyse work steps in advance. This optimises project implementation in terms of resources and time.

DGNB Gold Standard as a seal of sustainability

As proof of sustainability, the new building for the approximately 100 employees working in Delmenhorst is to achieve the DGNB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen e.V.) certificate with gold status. As an experienced DGNB member of many years' standing, PORR is advising and supporting the client on the way to certification. The installation of a heat pump, photovoltaic system with storage and e-charging columns underlines the high standards of sustainability. The system is delivered and installed directly by the tenant.

Long-standing client

The trusting cooperation between the client and Building Construction Region North has been tried and tested many times: In Bad Segeberg, PORR has already constructed an administration building for the job centre and the employment agency for the existing client, and in Ahrensburg the team realised the extension for the job centre on site; the joint project for the employment agency in Schleswig is currently running in parallel.
