Lighthouse project in Berlin’s multicultural district of Neukölln!
That our URBAN edition We think it's great that it looks great with concrete modules, is particularly durable and has the usual FLOW. But even we didn't expect the construction of the 1.4 meter wide roadway to go so quickly.
Immerse yourself in the construction diary, where Werner and his team laid out Germany’s first concrete pump track in just five days. Speedster build.
Day 1: Site preparation
The first day is all about preparing the construction site. From the very first moment, it is important to work as precisely as possible, to create a level surface and to measure the area.
Thanks to the preparations in production, the construction teams have a precise schedule and know the dimensions and angles that must be adhered to. One challenge on the site in Berlin-Neukölln is access to the site, but the team on site masters this skillfully.
Day 2: The modules are delivered!
On the second day, the shipping company comes directly from the factory to deliver the modules. The concrete waves have already made a short journey. Particularly practical, as is the case with the Classic Edition and the Park edition The modules are transported on pallets.
This makes the next step easier: positioning the right modules strategically for the start of construction. Josef, production manager at Parkitect, also insisted on personally overseeing the flagship project in Berlin. And because the team is making such good progress, construction can even begin now.
Day 3: Playing Lego aka building
Today the modules can be assembled with millimeter precision, which the team finds a bit like playing with Lego - but it's certainly not a lack of fun. Only if the work is carried out with great attention to detail will the ends literally meet at the end and a flowing circuit in the Speedster layout will result.
The weather is playing along, but work can also be carried out in the rain – a crucial difference to construction sites on asphalt pump tracks.
Day 5: It's a Match / Wedding day / Touchdown
Whatever you want to call it: In only 5 days Werner & Co completed the construction of the first modular pump track of the URBAN Edition in Germany in what felt like just a snap of the fingers.
That moment when the last module fits perfectly into the intended gap - incomparable for the whole team. And the first test round on the skateboard is also a must - now all that's left is to seal the joints.
Berlin-Neukölln could not have used the unused, very narrow and elongated area better for endless driving fun on the concrete waves.
What's next?
In the following days, after a short break in the rain, the joints were sealed. This makes the driving experience even more fluid. In the following week, the TÜV came by to inspect the system and the city will carry out some GALA construction work on the site. We will keep you up to date on the Berlin concrete success story.
Are you now interested in your own success story?
We are ready and have wave experts in all markets: With the modular pump track, we find a solution for more movement on every surface.
