PTS Workshop Building

A workshop building with a conventional loadbearing structure is currently being constructed for the new PTS (Passenger Transport System) line at Frankfurt Airport. Werner Sobek supported the project by providing structural design assessment services that included site supervision as part of the assessment process. This work was carried out on behalf of design review engineers Prof. Hans Georg Reinke and Dr.-Ing. Jens U. Neuser. 

Structural Assessment: A Long-Span Supporting Structure at Frankfurt Airport

Overall, the workshop building comprises a five-storey core and a long-span supporting structure that forms the workshop hall itself. The supporting structure beneath the workshop hall is made up of reinforced concrete frames. For its part, the roof structure consists of steel elements.
