DPD Depot Kiel
In Melsdorf near Kiel, LIST Construction has constructed what is now its seventh DPD distribution center.
The 11,000-square-meter logistics center was completed in 11 months.
Extensive earthwork was required in advance on the 42,000-square-meter site: The elevation difference on the site amounted to approximately seven meters, which was leveled through extensive cut-and-fill measures. Another distinctive feature is the column-free unloading hall, in which approximately 42-meter-long glulam trusses were installed. An additional challenge was the depot’s conveyor system, which was to be moved into the unloading and loading hall prior to completion. Consequently, it was installed three months before completion, thus running parallel to the construction work.
LIST Construction was involved in the project starting with the construction planning phase. In the area of building services engineering, LIST Ingenieure supported the new construction.
