97.000 m2
70 hectares in the East of France
Expansion of an automobile manufacturing plant with the construction of 97,000 m2 of new facilities as part of operational production units to create production tools for a new, larger-sized vehicle model.
As part of these works, Drees & Sommer has overseen:
- The demolition/reconstruction and extension of a building intended for logistics.
- The construction of three industrial buildings (body shop, paint shop, assembly), a guardhouse, and an automated conveyor between them.
- The extension of three industrial buildings and parking lots for passenger vehicles.
- The repurposing of a building.
- The relocation and almost doubling in size of the parking lot for heavy goods vehicles.
- The adaptation of the site’s infrastructure.
The product site in Hambach is one of our Top Projects — a category reserved for work we are especially proud of. These projects have not only delivered exceptional value for our clients, but have also shaped us as a company.
Why Hambach deserves a place among our Top Projects:
- Largest Drees & Sommer project in France: The extensive expansion and remodeling at Hambach represent the largest project supported by Drees & Sommer in France to date.
- Lean construction management: By implementing a lean concept on site and introducing lean construction management, the construction process was optimized to ensure production units could be completed on schedule, as specified by the client.
Added value
Control of quality, costs, and deadlines, notably through the implementation of lean construction management, which allowed the production units to be delivered on the date set by the client.
