M&P is responsible for the planning services for the revitalisation and new construction of the BSE in the project, which is scheduled for completion in 2020. The Congress Center Hamburg, or CCH for short, is to be fundamentally revitalised for future international conference and congress business. The plan is to turn the CCH into a multifunctional centre for congresses that meets all the current requirements of national and international organisers. With the revitalisation of the property, the area will be expanded to 105,000 m2. The planning scope of the CCH is divided into three building sections: East, Centre and West.
The East section, including Hall 2, will be demolished and given a new spatial design with Halls X, Y and Z, as well as the offices and ancillary rooms. Furthermore, the East section is linked to the Belvedere, which connects the eastern side with the central and western components. The BSE in this area will be adapted to the architectural redesign and fundamentally renovated.
The Centre section will be renovated, as part of which the BSE from 1972/3 will be completely renewed and no architectural changes will be made. The technical rooms, shafts and pipe routes will be partially retained, but will be equipped with new technology.
The West section is an extension from 2007. This includes the newly built halls A–G and the listed Hall 3, which dates from the year of construction. Hall 3 will be upgraded in terms of building technology. The sprinkler systems and fire alarm systems will be adapted to today’s standards and norms or functionally upgraded in the overall network in line with the Centre and East components.
Due to the size of the construction project and the various trades involved, the CCH is divided into a total of three sub-models (BSE model, electrical model, sprinkler model) in addition to the architectural and structural model. Among other things, this involves carrying out 3D visualisations, 5D cost planning, model-based quantity determination and calculations (pipe network, heating load and cooling load calculations), plant registers and component lists.
Optimisation and checking of everything from IFC files to the compression of data volumes and quality assurance of BIM models through advanced collision checks using Solibri Model Checker are also part of the scope of services.
