Liebherr is working closely with dealer Feurig and contractor Züblin on the project’s planning and implementation. The first crane was assembled at the beginning of 2019.
Today, there are more than 20 cranes in simultaneous operation. The planning and implementation of this major project has required patience and exceptional levels of collaboration between all parties involved.
At the start of the project in 2018, Züblin’s site managers decided on equipping the entire construction site with machinery from a single manufacturer in order to meet logistical requirements. They opted for Liebherr and Feurig. Feurig has over 200 rental cranes of all sizes at its rental park in Hamburg.
Having so many cranes in a relatively small area is challenging in terms of planning and logistics, as all cranes must be positioned so that each one is safe from colliding with the others and the surrounding buildings. This is why the variously sized Liebherr tower cranes have hook heights ranging from just under 30 metres to over 90 metres.
According to the website of the German shopping centre group Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, the Überseequartier development is “cosmopolitan, open and urban – a place like no other”. Designed as an integrated district and a key element of Hamburg’s HafenCity, it connects places to live and work with attractive cultural offers and leisure facilities, as well as innovative retail and entertainment concepts.
