With “The Circle,” Zurich Airport is developing from a traffic hub and commercial centre into a destination in its own right. National and international brands, branches and service companies in the premium segment will present themselves to an international audience on around 200,000 m² of floor space from 2021. The “Circle” employs around 5,000 people and consists of seven different modules that are interwoven throughout the complex. The project was developed using the design-to-cost method.

Challenges

From the beginning of the mandate, the project organization and the installation teams had to be organized in such a way that efficient installation processes can be achieved for 4 of the 7 building complexes. Through the implementation of internal time schedules and specifications, it was possible to significantly increase the installation performance, so that a higher output was achieved with fewer installers.
