    Hächler builds with sustainable raw materials in Baden

    Hächler has been commissioned by the city of Baden to build a wooden floor grate on Stadtturmstrasse. According to a statement by the Wettingen-based construction company, the use of regional materials was important to the city of Baden.

    Hächler AG Holzbau decided on larch wood as the building material, according to the statement written by Benjamin Schwitter, Hächler’s construction manager for timber construction. There is only a limited selection and availability of durable and suitable woods in the domestic tree population. Hächler was able to select the larch trunks from the Surbtal forestry operation itself. The larches thus grew less than 15 kilometres away from the site of operation.

    The selected logs were cut and dried in the sawmill in Leuggern. The logs were then processed into finished floor boards in the hall at Hächler. The planks were made of particularly stable rift or half-rift wood. From this, elements with a thickness of four centimetres, screwed from below, were produced for a durable floor grid.

    The added value for the production of the wooden gratings took place exclusively in the region, from the forestry operation to the sawmill to production and assembly, says Schwitter. This and the short distances led to a sustainable end result in the realisation of the order from the city of Baden.

    Construction company in the field of timber construction, carpentry and paving completes the overall renovation

    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.

  • Hächler donates to the old Rütibuck scout home

    Hächler donates to the old Rütibuck scout home

    The Wettinger construction company Hächler is providing the Pfadi Hochwacht Baden home association with CHF 10,000 as a contribution to the renovation of the old Rütibuck scout home. According to a press release , the Hächler Group supports a non-profit organization every year. The donation of 10,000 francs replaces the usual gifts to business partners at Christmas and the turn of the year.

    Who Hächler gives the donation to is never an easy decision, says the media release. There are many institutions that are worth supporting. This year Hächler chose the home club Pfadi Hochwacht Baden. He is the bearer of the old Rütibuck scout home in Baden. This was used by the scout department between 1932 and 1973. They then moved into the new youth center and the old scout home has since been available to children and youth organizations, school groups and sports clubs for weekly camps, training weekends or festivities.

    This winter, the old Rütibuck scout home will be renovated and the outer shell will be subjected to an urgently needed energetic renovation, according to the Hächler announcement. That includes the renovation of the statics, the insulation of the outer walls, replacement of the old windows with triple-glazed wooden windows. The house will also have central heating and there will be a “gentle renovation inside” with adjustment and refreshment work such as painting and modernization of toilets and showers.

    The donation to the old scout home is also the cover story of the company newspaper “ Der Hächler ”. An interview with Stefan Zantop, founding member of the Pfadi Hochwacht Baden home association, is printed there. And there are tips on donations or active help with the renovation.
