Vehicle halls for THW
"It was really impressive to see the accuracy and efficiency with which HALTEC built the vehicle halls here.", said Michael Wüst, Local Representative for THW Freising. The new and modern vehicle halls for Technische Hilfswerk offer protection for 13 service vehicles. The new hall construction was designed to last a long time and provides a clean environment in which volunteer workers can successfully carry out tasks.
"With the vehicle halls from HALTEC, we can now conduct our operations much more efficiently than was ever possible in the old property", said Michael Wüst, Local Representative for THW Freising. For years, the local committee had been calling for a more modern building. Now, Technische Hilfswerk has commissioned HALTEC with building a hall complex for weather-proof vehicle storage.
The hall construction consists of a
• 597 m² insulated vehicle hall with workshop and a
• 280 m² non-insulated garage with carport.
A major challenge for all those involved was the tight time frame. The vehicle halls had to be built in a very short time, working to a fixed deadline. Thanks to efficient work processes, years of experience and seasoned assembly teams, the hall construction could be handed over to the owners of the building on schedule.
Large double gates make it easy to manoeuvre large vehicles through the vehicle halls. One special highlight is the diesel exhaust fume extraction system. This system directly removes the exhaust gases from the exhaust pipe of a lorry as it starts up and a tube system then directs the gases outside. And the best part: the exhaust system does not have to be removed from the vehicle. It "travels with you" and automatically slides off the exhaust pipe as soon as the lorry leaves the vehicle hall.
For special protection: the small hall features hot-dip galvanised steel construction. In order to meet fire prevention requirements, the supporting structure of the large vehicle hall was additionally equipped with F30 fire-protection coating. In addition, the sandwich panels adhered to special sound insulation requirements set out by the approving authority. A technical sound inspection confirmed that predetermined values had been reached.
The new property offers Technische Hilfswerk much better working conditions. The functionally specific equipment installed in the vehicle hall contributes significantly to energy savings and turns the property into a long-lasting and sustainable building. Thanks to individual planning and plenty of creative freedom within the SELECT product range, this client has found the perfect vehicle hall for them.
Of course, we needed companies we could rely on. For me as a planner, it was good that the consultations were always efficient and that there was always a cooperative collaboration.

Details of the equipment in the vehicle buildings:
Functional vehicle hall
Service vehicles are protected from the weather in the vehicle hall. In addition, training can be carried out inside and outside the hall.
Diesel exhaust fume extraction system
The highlight of the vehicle hall: the "transportable" diesel exhaust extraction system that directly removes the exhaust gases from the exhaust pipe of a lorry as it starts up and directs the gases outside through a tube system.
Electric industrial sectional gates
Large double gates make it easy to manoeuvre large vehicles through the hall. The gates can be opened and closed at the touch of a button using a remote control.
Vehicle hall with workshop
The rear part of the hall accommodates a workshop, allowing servicing and repairs to be carried out on site.
Hall outdoor area
The new building offers plenty of space both inside and outside the halls, such as for inspecting vehicles and technical equipment.
Second vehicle hall for THW
The smaller, non-insulated vehicle hall is used for goods storage and for housing small service vehicles.
Carport extension on the vehicle hall
A 97 m² carport directly adjoins the small vehicle hall to protect trailers and other vehicles from wind and weather.
Dowel anchors on a plinth foundation
To protect the steel construction of the hall against damp and de-icing salt, the supports of the large hall have been anchored on raised plinth foundations.
