Altitude rush
The Höhenrausch is an artificial paradise above the rooftops of Linz and attracts well over 100,000 visitors every year. In 2014, the province of Upper Austria approved the 4th extension. At a height of around 25 meters, an approx. 42-meter-long, 15-meter-wide and 9-meter-high cultural and adventure space was built with room for around 300 people. In addition to a grandstand for an open-air cinema, an open area of around 340 m² is planned for various events – including a curling rink in winter. voestalpine is not only the exclusive main sponsor of this project, its products also provide the voestalpine open space with structure and form. For example, steel components were used for the supporting structure, which are normally used for high-bay warehouses.
Bending instead of pressure The self-supporting high-bay warehouses are up to 40 m high. There, however, the components are mainly subjected to compressive loads. Folded into the plane and used as a giant bending beam, things look different. The entire steel structure was modeled three-dimensionally down to the last detail using a special program and statically calculated. All 300 work and assembly plans were then derived from the 3D model. More than 2,000 working hours were spent on this.
