    Hächler maintains the Vindonissa amphitheater

    Hächler AG Umbau und Renovation tackles a special task every year. Under the management of Reto Schwitter, the Wettingen-based company preserves and protects the Vindonissa amphitheater in Windisch, Hächler announced in a press release. The expert in monument preservation at Hächler is contributing his extensive specialist knowledge, valuable experience and passion to the maintenance of the largest facility of its kind in Switzerland, according to the statement.

    “The renovation and refurbishment of such a building requires absolute expertise, many years of experience and a high level of sensitivity,” writes Hächler. The annual maintenance work mainly involves repairing defective joints through which water could otherwise penetrate the masonry. Hächler uses a mortar specially adapted for this purpose.

    The amphitheatre in Windisch was built in the first century AD in the immediate vicinity of the Roman legionary camp of Vindonissa. It measures 111 by 99 meters and offers space for 11,000 spectators. The site, which is owned by the Swiss Confederation, is a cultural asset of national importance.

    According to a media release , the Hächler Group has completed the complete renovation of an apartment building in Wettingen. The work involved numerous individual steps: restoration to the shell, adding a storey to the roof, changes to the floor plan and also new floors. And the insulation was also on the Bürgler AG agenda. For example, an 18 centimeter thick plastered external thermal insulation was installed on the facade.

    For some work, the experts from Bürgler AG were supported by their employees from other subsidiaries of the Hächler Group. Hächler AG has a new department called Complete Conversion. This has taken on numerous tasks in the overall project, so that carpentry, roofing, joinery and plate work could also be taken over by the Hächler Group.

    The Hächler construction company reports progress on the renovation project with a new building for the historic Posthorn inn in Neuenhof. According to the press release , the old building will be extensively renovated. Seven rental apartments are being built in the former hotel. There is also a new building with a further 16 rental apartments.

    Since the building permit for the Posthorn superstructure was granted in 2019, the structural and civil engineering department of Hächler AG has been in charge of the construction work since spring 2021. According to Hächler, the project is not easy. The historic post horn was not allowed to be torn off. The building dates from 1834 and is a protected site. Gable and facade must be preserved.

    According to Hächler, to ensure the statics and to support the facade that remains in place, a complex steel brace was installed. The rest of the post horn could only be broken off after the installation of this steel spline. When the historic building was gutted, the effective master builder work began. In the meantime, the erection work on the roof trusses of the Posthorn and the new building are scheduled for March and April.

    According to the construction management, the work on the superstructure will be completed around May 2022. Then the interior work takes place. The move-in date for the new apartments in the Posthorn is planned for February 2023 and in the new building for April 2023.

  • Hächler rebuilds Spreitenbacher Waldhütte

    Hächler rebuilds Spreitenbacher Waldhütte

    Hächler AG from Wettingen has rebuilt the forest hut belonging to the municipality of Spreitenbach, which had become dilapidated due to subsidence. From spring onwards, the forest hut will again be available to citizens for festive occasions with 40 seats, according to the press release . There is a new hall with a fitted kitchen and an open fireplace both inside and outside.

    The new building in the middle of the forest on Heitersberg became necessary because of subsidence. The forest hut was built in 1968 and renovated in 1990. According to the Hächler Group, the municipality of Spreitenbach decided to rebuild the popular forest hut due to the subsidence of the ground by around 20 centimeters. In May 2020, the timber construction department at Hächler AG was awarded the contract to build the new forest hut.

    According to a report submitted by Günter Ebner, Head of Timber Construction at Hächler, the replacement building in timber element construction in the Neuenhof workshop was prefabricated in the same dimensions as the old hut. The finished wall elements with built-in electrical preparation and cutting of the roof components were produced in just three weeks. The shell assembly in the forest on the Heitersberg was carried out with millimeter precision using the company's own truck crane. The inner wall surfaces made of multi-layer panels in spruce and fir were protected from moisture during assembly. According to the Hächler report, only ecological and sustainable building materials were used.

    The materials are technically state-of-the-art and enable a comfortable room climate as well as heat, cold and noise protection. The combination of vapor-permeable and multi-layer materials with good soundproofing properties would have made this concept of the forest hut a really great project, construction manager Ebner is quoted as saying.

    21 cubic meters of domestic spruce wood, 45 cubic meters of mineral insulation and 450 square meters of multilayer wood panels were used for the supporting structure.
