Our company has become part of the enhancement of the City of Trenčín within the preparations for the project “European Capital of Culture 2026” and is carrying out the complete reconstruction of the covering of the pedestrian underpass above the stairway area near the Elizabeth Hotel.
The structure consists of a steel load-bearing framework and glass infill panels for both the roof and wall sections. The steel structure covering the entrance to the underpass replaces the original reinforced concrete cover.
The spatial structure has been designed with a strict architectural concept. It will be installed using a mobile crane from a reinforced surface. The columns and other steel elements are anchored to the existing reinforced concrete wall and the elevator shaft.
The entire load-bearing structure is designed from steel tubes. The vertical supporting elements consist of four steel columns, each finished with a spherical joint node. In addition to the main steel columns, these profiles are also supported by intermediate columns and bracing elements.
The reconstruction of the covering does not change the original ground plan of the structure.
The proposed renovation of the underpass entrance aims to improve both the technical and architectural expression by creating a modern covering that serves as a connection between the underpass and the exterior space.
