Capital airport : BER southern runway is dry

On the BER is still digging times: Airport CEO Engelbert Lütke Daldrup wants to avoid a new shield citizens string to the capital's future Airport, if in the next year, the compromised electrical cables to the new southern runway will be replaced. But before that, Lütke Daldrup insured on Tuesday in the BER of the special Committee of the Brandenburg Landtag in Potsdam, will slots on the cable for the Lights of the runway, the so far, lack of Drainage installed.

"After that, the cables come in, in a dry environment." He had no explanation of why, in spite of the clayey subsoil in the construction of the facilities in 2010/2011 instead of a Drainage water-permeable ducts were built that relied on infiltration. The result: "In the shafts for years of water," he said. "We now realize the really obvious technical solution." They wanted to have done this Work before, the BER-commissioning, it is not 2022/2023 in the night hours.

The temporal buffer are used up

To the location on the BER construction site, where furthermore, the deficiencies in the fire alarm system and the cables are considered to be particularly "critical", - assured the Airport Manager: "From our point of view, the opening date of October 2020 is not compromised."

The airport itself is still of a at the beginning of the examinations in may/June of 2019, as Lütke Daldrup said. The for the cable company responsible ROME was, in the meantime, with 140 employees at the site.

First, the defects must be eliminated, then the acceptance of the competent Tüv testing a release of the systems, before the active - principle tests, it must be demonstrated that all the technical systems work in Interaction. According to Lütke Daldrup 40 days are "planned". But this also means that in these Tests, no serious problems should occur. As reported, it is always close to hold the BER-start date, time buffers are largely exhausted. In contrast, Lütke Daldrup insured, there were still reserves. "The ORAT-test operation begins in April 2020."
