COIL Innovation GmbH is expanding its headquarters to include additional office space, new production halls and a test hall for choke coils – a total of more than 5,000 m² of new floor space is being created. The PohlCon Group supported the main contractor, Peneder Bau-Elemente GmbH, and the construction company, Leyrer + Graf Baugesellschaft m.b.H., with technical expertise and tailored product solutions.

Special requirements applied to the test hall for choke coils: in order to carry out highly sensitive testing and measurement procedures, a magnet-free zone had to be created to rule out electromagnetic interference. This was reflected in the choice of materials and the building’s construction method. FIBERNOX® V-ROD reinforcement bars made of glass-fibre-reinforced plastic were used to reinforce the monolithic floor slab and the column foundations. They were installed specifically in those areas where electromagnetic neutrality is required.

The GRP reinforcement is corrosion- and alkali-resistant, non-magnetic and electrically non-conductive. It therefore offers decisive advantages over conventional steel reinforcement, particularly in specialist applications. A total of 7,500 kg of GRP reinforcement, in straight and curved forms as well as in the form of shear pins, was manufactured and installed to meet the specific requirements of the project. In addition, PohlCon provided consultancy support to the design office during the preliminary dimensioning of the material and the preparation of the reinforcement drawings.

The thermally insulated connection element ISOPRO® 80 SQ was used to connect steel structures to reinforced concrete elements. It reliably transfers positive transverse and horizontal forces and, thanks to its EPS insulation core, is characterised by extremely low thermal conductivity.

The project impressively demonstrates how innovative reinforcement and insulation solutions help to reliably meet complex requirements in industrial and specialised construction. PohlCon’s expertise and wide range of products made a significant contribution to this.
