Tegel treasures get a new home
In several auctions that ended in February 2021, the Hamburg online auction house Dechow auctioned off numerous mobile objects and equipment of Tegel Airport, such as barrier tapes, monitors, benches, as well as large technical equipment such as rolling gates, a bus washing system and winter service vehicles. Aviation enthusiasts were lucky enough to be able to purchase these treasures at auction, giving them a new home and thus keeping a piece of Tegel alive.
First-time opportunity
For the first time, we have the opportunity to support and accompany an auction as part of our project management services. Thereby we are involved in the processes and procedures in many different ways. Starting with the support of the departments for the determination of the valuable items, numerous rounds for the registration and valuation, the logistics for the difficult removal of the large equipment and vehicles out of the airport area and last but not least the scheduling for the entire utilization and marketing process with the auction house.
It´s not over yet
Until the handover to the owners in August 2021, many discussions and tours with tenants, companies and authorities, among others, are still necessary in order to hand over the entire airport site including the terminals, fire department buildings, hangars, administration buildings, baggage halls, parking areas, IT technology facilities in an orderly manner at the end.
Creative masterstroke
On the one hand, the professional management of the airport site requires the implementation of deconstruction measures and the clearing out of numerous buildings, and on the other hand, in the case of an emergency at BER, the airport-specific facilities must continue to be operational and thus kept in standby mode until the beginning of May 2021.
Not to forget, the special challenge for the construction of the COVID-19 vaccination center. The former Terminal C is not only a vaccination center, but also an operations center for the mobile vaccination teams.
With one laughing and one crying eye, we are proud to support these extraordinary tasks with our expertise and thus expand our competence in the field of “decommissioning and return of an airport”.
