Königsstuhl on the island of Rügen: Surveying during construction
The Königsstuhl on the island of Rügen is getting a new viewing platform and we are carrying out the surveys during construction.
The old viewing point on Germany’s highest chalk cliff, the Königsstuhl, is being replaced by a barrier-free, floating viewing platform. The town of Sassnitz on Rügen thus ensures a safe and sustainable chalk coast experience.
This “free-floating bridge construction” is suspended from an inclined 40-meter-high pylon mast.
Since June 2021, we have been carrying out the construction-related surveys there.
Our tasks in this project include, among other things:
- Creation / compaction of control point network with high accuracy +/-1 mm as a basis for the construction measure
- Creation of 3D control points in the area of the cliffs incl. Weekly 3D control measurement
- Staking out construction pits
- Stakeout of starting points for bored piles (mast foundation) incl. control measurement
- Setting out permanent anchors for north + south guyed foundations incl. control measurement
- Setting out and control measurements of the pylon foundation (connection for pylon or bridge (steel construction))
- Stakeout and control measurements for the north and south guyed foundations incl. tie rods for connecting the respective north or south bracket to hold the pylon’s guy ropes
- Stakeout of assembly trestles to support the walkway (steel structure) for welding work (connection of walkway segments) or displacement in end position
- Setting out the slideway as a basis for moving the steel structure into the end position
- Settlement control measurements on the BW
Result:
- Production of the mast and bracing foundations
- Alignment of the mounting brackets + slideway
- 3D microsection control measurement (continuation until end of construction)
The Skywalk is expected to open in spring 2023.
