On behalf of Basler Verkehsbetriebe (BVB), the St. Jakob stop in Basel is being converted in accordance with the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act. The existing facility will be demolished and replaced by a visually appealing bus shelter. The first floor consists of two structures, an uninsulated circular room to house the technical equipment and a second oval insulated room, which will be used as a lounge for BVB employees. In addition, access to the roof in this part is via two pull-out staircases. Most of the work will be carried out outside of streetcar operating hours and during a streetcar closure.
Project
The scope of services includes the planning, production, delivery and installation of the steel support structure, the rear-ventilated façade made of corrugated sinusoidal sheet metal, partly curved, windows, doors and a bench
