Micropiling works in Bonn with restricted space conditions (credit: Neidhardt Grundbau)

Conclusion
Transport is an essential service that
everybody needs access to in order to
ensure full participation in education,
employment, recreation and all other
aspects of community life. Several
countries, including Germany and
Australia, are implementing policy
frameworks to guarantee inclusive
accessibility to public transport services for
every member of society.
This article described the most
common constructive features for
barrier-free access to public transport
facilities, which are an integral part of the
design of new infrastructure. Elements
such as ramps, lifts and platform canopies
are also fundamental to the upgrade of
existing facilities, such as train stations
and bus stops.
Lift shafts and canopy supports are
usually founded on shallow foundations;
however, unfavorable geotechnical
conditions can be present. For those cases,
a very effective deep foundation solution
consisting of self-drilling micropiles can
be implemented, as adopted for the
Stadhaus-Haltestelle (City Hall station) in
Bonn, Germany.

This intervention allowed for inclusive
accessibility to public transport services,
even under very restrictive space and
working conditions. Micropiled
foundations thus are a cost-effective, fast
and safe solution wherever an intervention
for existing infrastructure is required.

Freddy Lopez is a geotechnical design engineer
and technical advisor for geotechnical
applications with Friedr. Ischebeck in Germany.

He has over 13 years of experience in the design,
execution and monitoring of geotechnical
solutions and has published several technical
papers for geotechnical conferences worldwide.
Stuart Hatfield is the general manager for
Ischebeck Titan Australia. After 10 years of
working with Ischebeck products, Hatfield has
dedicated the past 5 years to driving Ischebeck
brand and business development whilst
presenting class-leading Ischebeck engineering
solutions in Australia.
