Powiśle Power Plant

A historic former power plant, revitalized and adapted as a shopping center with its original impressive interiors. Along with a commercial part with shops and restaurants, a housing estate, a Barcelo hotel and office buildings were also built on the premises of the power plant. Numerous elements of the old buildings have been preserved, such as chimneys, metal structures and the blue shed that used to house the engine room of a shaft used to transport coal. During the 12 years of the project, 68 architects worked on it.

Geotechnical tests carried out around the existing buildings and in their underground rooms allowed to identify numerous embankment soils of considerable thickness. Ground contamination tests and parameter assessments carried out using CPT surveys made it possible to revitalize the property safely and in accordance with regulations and put it into use. We completed a total of 10 studies and reports for this investment.
