Ybl students had a glimpse of Zugló's large-scale development

Our newspaper regularly reports on the area between Bosnyák Square and Rákos Creek, where the Bayer Construct Zrt.. Eight buildings – one residential and seven office buildings – will be constructed on the approximately seven-hectare site. Spacious communal areas and a pedestrian street will be created between them.

The civil engineering work for the large-scale investment project is being carried out by BAUER Hungary Special Civil Engineering Kft.. As previously reported, the complex's residential building reached structural completion in March 2023. The company completed the piling work for the facility, known as R1, in July 2022, followed by the civil engineering work for the office buildings named O1 and O2, project manager Dániel Hadnagy informed our newspaper.

- project coordinator Stella Berka told us.

The complexity of the project, in addition to the large volume, was the parallel workflows. The fast and accurate processing of construction data was of paramount importance. This was done using Bauer's innovative in-house developed software, BProject, which allowed us to easily manage and monitor all the technologies. In addition, its unique functionality, with reports and 3D models, helped back office colleagues to monitor processes efficiently.

The students also received on-site safety training from both the contractor Bayer Construct Zrt. and BAUER Hungary Kft.. Afterwards, foreman Tibor Olosz and project manager Dániel Hadnagy showed the group around the site. Most of the participants had only theoretical knowledge of civil engineering, so the presentation was met with great interest.

Fortunately, the favourable phase of the work allowed each stage of the fissuring work to be observed. In addition, they were also able to view the working pit, which had already been completed and was raised to the planned height. Of particular interest to the students was the presentation by the archaeological excavation manager of their work and achievements in the field.

The promotion of prefabrication was also an important aspect

Another part of the students' tour was the contractor's Bayer Construct Zrt. programme, in which Gergely Szalai, project manager, presented the project. In his presentation, he discussed the planning, timelines and targets.

The young people also had the opportunity to visit the then-ready R1 condominium building: they went through the different floors and were given information about one of the most important areas of the construction process, prefabrication. As we reported earlier, Bayer is speeding up the development and making it extremely efficient with prefabricated elements from its plant in Biharkeresztes. The project manager showed the integrated bark panel elements as well as cooling and heating panels.

In connection with the deep foundation works of the O1 office building, the students were informed about the process and system of structural engineering. Another key topic was organisation, as precise organisation is essential for efficient implementation, and the Bayer Group pays particular attention to this in all its projects.
