Product description

Colour: silvergrey
Surface: ferro
Scope: 5.000 m²

For the project TRIO Wankdorf City in Bern Rieder produced the longest formparts in the history of the company – formed parts in U-shape with a length of 4998 mm. Despite the extraordinary size, the curved facade panels withstand the highest loads. A total of 1.963 formparts.mono were installed in silvergrey.

“Urban, sustainable and uncomplicated” is the motto of the building expansion, which is why the products fit perfectly into the concept of GWJ architects. In addition to durability, low maintenance and total fire resistance, Rieder has many other arguments up its sleeve when it comes to ecology. It goes without saying that the company uses non-toxic products (free of crystalline silica) and reduces the use of primary energy in production to a minimum.

Concept

Formparts made of fibreC glassfibre reinforced concrete are monolithic concrete slats which offer a high degree of flexibility and various design options for innovative building envelopes. The folded concrete elements with an optimised fastening system enhance glass facades and serve as a refined visual and sun protection.

The delicate-looking yet robust custom-made elements are assembled according to requirements and create a smooth facade appearance. formparts22 are available with a sharp as well as a rounded edge. Various surfaces and textures are available, which can be individually combined with each other. The large unwinding width means that several different formed parts can be combined with each other. Due to their low weight and large span widths, formparts are perfect for facades with challenging geometries. Pre-assembly in the factory, independent of weather conditions, guarantees a high-quality standard and rapid assembly on site.
