Coca Cola Edelstal

Since 2009 EcoProjekt has been assisting Coca-Cola Hellenic as constructional engineer and general contractor.

Optimisation of the operating logistics and reconstruction in 2009 ensured that the Viennese location, Triesterstrasse, could be preserved for another 4 years. The Viennese location was opened in 1955 and served as Austrian production site for over 50 years. However, the site had no further possibilities to be extended for a new bottling line and storage space.

ecoprojekt_cola_4The 355,000m² free area on the production site of Römerquelle gave Coca-Cola the possibility to build a new production and distribution location in Edelstal. In case of growing production and storage Edelstal also provides the possibility to extent. Further requirements were the incorporation of the existing complex of Römerquelle as well as a traffic concept for the distribution and employees.

In Cooperation with Niarchos & Associates Athen, EcoProjekt redesigned a new logistics concept in Edelstal. This concept offers Coca-Cola the possibility of extending their operating site modularly. In the existing site of Römerquelle another office building was incorporated. It has been accommodating 30 employees since June 2013. The new traffic concept governs delivery and pick up for the production via a new access-road to the site. On the initial area of Römerquelle, 1.000m² parking spaces were built for the employees. The new central warehouse offers space to 35,000 pallets.

On the 2nd May 2013, one year after breaking ground, Coca-Cola HBC Austria GmbH celebrated with EcoProjekt, BM Hundstorfer, BM Berlakovic and Landeshauptmann Nissl the big opening of the new bottling plant of Coca-Cola. The social rooms and the reconstruction of the canteen were completed end of June 2013.

EcoProjekt was the constructional engineer of this project. This includes architecture, obtaining permits under building and industrial law, statics, building services, fire prevention, traffic concept, supervision of construction works and site and technical, managerial and artistic supervision.
