→ 26 | Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH BER Opening in 2017 The timeline is set The refitting of the “central nervous system” of the future Berlin Brandenburg Airport is finished: the new BER-NET began operation on 19 February 2015. Picture page 24/25: View of the terminal at Berlin Brandenburg Airport. Berlin Brandenburg Airport is scheduled to open in the second half of 2017. The Airport Company drew up these schedule tables over the course of 2014. The Supervisory Board presented the schedule tables and the milestones between now and the opening to the general public on 12 December 2014. The decision to open BER in the second half of 2017 puts an end to a twoyear phase without an opening date or clear prospects for the completion of BER. The adoption of the schedule tables also completes the basic work phase during which the Airport Company had to take care of fundamental issues such as the undersized LAN network, gaps in documentation or the inconsistent room numbering system which had previously prevented a reliable planning of milestones between now and the opening. Construction on the area The Airport Company’s introduction of area teams in October 2014 assigned clear areas of responsibility for every single construction field. The teams have been staffed in accordance with the State Construction Ordinance (LBO) and the Fee Schedule for Architect and Engineer Services (HOAI). A partial project manager from FBB is working along with representatives from project management, planning and facility surveillance to prepare a defined section of the passenger terminal. As of May 2015, more than 600 construction workers were employed on the construction site. A major part (70%) of the overhauling of the boxes in the passenger terminal has been completed. 47% of the identified defects in the building fire protection have been remedied. 54% of the other determined issues such as defects and remaining services have been remedied. Smoke removal During the second half of 2014, the Airport Company solved the two fire protection problems that had until this time stood in the way of the opening of the airport. System 14 has been subdivided into smaller, more easily manageable systems for smoke removal in the so-called C Structure (the

With regard to the A Structure — meaning the terminal’s Main Pier — the Airport Company has decided that the smoke in the event of fire will be vented through ceiling openings and not to the side as originally planned and constructed. The systems will be rebuilt accordingly. Moreover, so-called frequency converters (like those previously used successfully in System 14) will be installed and can be used for variable settings in the suction power. North Pier and South Pier The construction work on the North Pier has been completed. The government office issued the release for utilisation on 19 December 2014. The excavation work for the underground sprinkler controls at the South Pier and the securing of the building pit have been concluded and the shell has been prepared. The reconstruction of the ceiling void is in progress. The first important milestone for 2015 was reached when the 3rd addendum to the construction permit for the South Pier was submitted on time at the end of January. Construction on the South Pier will be completed in 2015.
