Object: light rail tunnel
Location: Karlsruhe
Our task
A few months before the opening, several thousand square meters of exposed concrete surfaces were designed and processed in detail by our teams. Subsequently created cable slots for pictogram lighting, fire protection cladding and technical installations were incorporated into the structure in great detail. Aggregates were glued in and stones with abutting edges were painted. Winding wire was removed, openings in the walls near the escalators were closed and paneling was seamlessly integrated into the overall appearance.
Challenge
Processing thousands of individual areas of exposed concrete at seven stations with multiple exits in a short time – in the middle of the city – was an enormous challenge. This complex task required a masterful effort in logistics, execution and coordination. The teams had to work precisely and coordinate seamlessly to complete the bush-hammered concrete surfaces on time. Every step of the process was crucial to create a harmonious overall appearance and to ensure that all details were perfectly coordinated. Implementation in an urban environment also required careful planning in order not to affect ongoing operations while ensuring the highest quality.
The light rail tunnel
The light rail tunnel, realized by allmannwappner, began in 2004 and opened at the end of 2021. The seven stations with transfer rooms and two room categories lead passengers via mezzanines to homogeneously exposed concrete surfaces and a white-lit platform level. A consistent joint pattern connects wildly bushy concrete walls and calm terrazzo floors up to the south curve. Ingo Maurer’s hanging light concept in the color circle complements the design, so that people can let the city’s events unfold in peace and reverence.
