The tasks of the Federal Armed Forces in Germany have changed massively in the past fifteen years. This is reflected in the changed training content of the armed forces, for which a modern IT competence training centre is now being erected in the Augusta Barracks in Koblenz.
As well as seminar rooms on the ground floor, the two upper storeys of the building are intended to contain a total of 52 individual rooms with completely new bathrooms for the training course participants. When designing the bathrooms, the Viega “Steptec” pre-wall system offered a simple, rapid and above all flexible solution in the rooms, which are above average in height with almost four metres.
The high ceilings as well as the positioning of the sanitary rooms, some of which were reverse images, made a system solution necessary for the bathroom design for the new pre-walls and partition walls, with which stable and appropriate constructions could be built in a short period of time without “lots of pieces”. Another requirement came from the task of realising different wall depths. For this, the only system that was suitable was a system that could be cut to fit on-site.
“For reasons of economy and the flexible options for processing the system, it was obvious to use the system tracks and connectors from the Viega `Steptec´ system to construct the pre-walls and partition walls,” says Dipl.-Ing. Carsten Anspach from “Löser+Anspach”. This meant that all 52 bathrooms could be completely fitted out within just a few weeks with the Steptec tracks and connectors from the Viega “Steptec” pre-wall system.
