CSZ at the topping-out ceremony for the Eppelheim fire station – a gleaming shell for the future

Mid-November, a cold evening – but the atmosphere was warm: over 100 guests stood in front of the shell of the new extension to the fire station in Eppelheim, which was illuminated by blue and red LED lights. The marching band of the volunteer fire department lent the topping-out ceremony a festive atmosphere in which tradition and modernity came together harmoniously.
Commander Christoph Horsch thanked the dedicated firefighters, the city administration, and the Ecker architectural firm for their excellent cooperation. Mayor Matthias Kutsch emphasized the indispensable role of the volunteer fire department and assured the city’s support even in times of tight budgets.

The highlight of the evening was the traditional topping-out speech by Andreas Scheuermann (Altenbach company) from the scaffolding. The smashing of the wine glass not only marked the completion of the shell construction phase, but also wished good luck and protection for the construction project and its future users.
While the guests ended the evening with mulled wine and sausages, work continues in the background: Renovation work in the basement of the existing building will start in January, and the extension will be completed at the same time.

CSZ was responsible for structural design in this project and looks forward to continuing its good cooperation with all parties involved.
