The complete and detailed information can be found in the static calculations which will be included as a part of the solilicitation The complete and detailed information can be found in the static calculations which will be included as a part of the solicitation.

1.1 Location

The building to be constructed is located in the western part of the installation Heliport Landstuhl.

The three technical buildings, mechanic, sprinkler and power plant, and also an other building (the other building is not part of this contract) will adjoin to the building in the east.

1.2 Building concept

Primarily, the design on hand is based on the basic ideas listed below:

- Separation of the technical area and the major occupancy area for reasons of reduced sound transmission and easier subsequent extension of the mechanical centers or the main building.

- Common technical area for the use of synergy effects by saving building structure and area consumption.

- Combination of useful areas to achieve better utilization of spaces and compact building shape without restrictions in functionality and consequently reduction of the required clearing areas and countervailing duties.

- Creation of an urban and creative unit of the building areas by means of the primary connecting roof edge.

- Circumferential development of the buildings to ease deliveries is ensured. Roads and ways are on all sides of the main building which has a lowered loading ramp on the east side to ease rear unloading.

1.3 Building structure

The WSOC building comprises an independent, compact structure.
