Unidome has received an order to supply the construction site of the new ZEISS high-tech site in Jena. At the traditional founding location, a state-of-the-art building is being built, which combines development, production and administration in one central location and further strengthens Jena's role as a leading high-tech and scientific city.

Unidome void former technology is being used for this ambitious project to support sustainable construction. By using void former modules and concrete shapers, significant amounts of concrete can be saved, which leads to a noticeable CO₂ reduction, lower dead load and optimized foundations. The unidome concrete shapers act as lost formwork in the reinforced concrete flat slab and specifically displace concrete in areas subject to low static stress.

The result is a lightweight but sturdy voided slab that not only increases material efficiency, but also fits perfectly with the sustainable energy concept of the new ZEISS building. With this combination of innovative building technology and resource-saving construction, the project will be a showcase example of climate protection, sustainable construction and modern engineering.
