Sustainable Construction with Beconart: RAIQA Leads the Way
The DAS RAIQA project in the heart of Innsbruck is a prime example of sustainable architecture. Instead of demolishing the existing building, the old structure was cleverly integrated into the new one. This not only reduces the environmental footprint but also creates a fascinating architectural dialogue between the old and the new. Beconart played a crucial role in treating the exposed concrete, contributing significantly to the harmonious connection between the two construction phases.
Challenges and Solutions with Beconart
Challenge
Current investigations have shown that the existing concrete ceilings, beams, and columns require upgrades in terms of fire protection and durability. To achieve this, targeted concrete restoration is being carried out, with damaged areas repaired through exposed concrete refinishing, exposed concrete cosmetic treatments, and surface coating. These measures, supported by Beconart’s expertise, not only ensure the building’s longevity but also meet strict fire safety requirements and guarantee an attractive aesthetic appearance.
Innovative approaches
Particular mention should be made of the use of innovative materials and techniques, such as carbonation inhibitors and fire-retardant coatings. This enables an effective and sustainable renovation of the existing building without compromising safety or aesthetics. Beconart uses its expertise in exposed concrete treatment to create a harmonious relationship between the old and the new.
