At the invitation of OTTO QUAST Bau Aktiengesellschaft students on the Concrete Construction I, Concrete Construction II and Bridge Construction courses visited the precast concrete plant in Freudenberg-Lindenberg on 05.07.2024 as part of an excursion.
The head of work preparation, Mr. Carsten Thamm, welcomed the participants and gave them a tour of the factory premises. He provided information about the work processes and plant technology of the precast plant as well as the special features of factory production and subsequent assembly on the construction site. The route led from the reinforcing steel bending shop to the production halls for sandwich wall elements, stairs, columns and prestressed concrete beams up to 37 m long, as well as to the outdoor area where the finished elements are temporarily stored until they are transported away. The pallet plant for the production of floor slabs and the concrete mixing plant were then inspected.
After the tour, the Managing Director of the precast plant, Mr. Sebastian Koch, presented the company history, locations and business areas as well as career opportunities within the company.
