In March 2022, the groundbreaking took place for the new package logistics center of Austrian Post in Vienna Inzersdorf, which was built on an area of almost 23,000 m² by August 2023. The innovative center is the largest logistics area of the Post in Austria and includes not only the new package logistics center but also the largest letter logistics center in the country, as well as various other facilities, such as an office building and a maintenance and washing facility for the truck fleet.
Through innovative automation solutions, the new building not only doubles the sorting capacity to 25,500 packages per hour but also incorporates environmentally friendly measures such as green roofs and a photovoltaic system. This system is expected to reach a capacity of 2 MWp, which, combined with the existing system of the letter logistics center, will result in a total capacity of 2.8 MWp.
Upon entering the package logistics center, the impressive use of wood immediately catches the eye. The choice of wood as a building material is not coincidental, as it offers numerous advantages for this construction project. Wood allows for the rapid realization of large volumes and expansive roof areas.
Another advantage of engineered wood construction is the factory-prefabricated wooden elements, which ensure short construction times and thus provide high economic efficiency and scalability. The roof structure, made with glued laminated timber beams, is capable of spanning large distances while simultaneously reducing the need for supporting structures
to minimize structural components and thus ensure flexible room design.
We were responsible for the workshop and detail planning, manufacturing, logistics, and implementation of the glued laminated timber (BSH) load-bearing structure, roof elements, and exterior walls in panel construction for the halls of the package logistics center, as well as for the truck washing facility and the gatehouse.
In total, approximately 1,800 m³ of glued laminated timber, 22,000 m² of roof elements, and 10,000 m² of façade panels were used, making it the longest building constructed by the team to date, measuring 460 meters in length.
