Electrical installations in the historic railway station combined with modern technology
Selmoni has taken on the entire electrical installation for Migros at Badischer Bahnhof in Basel. The contract for the new Migros branch in the listed building included the power supply, modern lighting and all technical installations.
Ernst Selmoni AG is responsible for the entire electrical system in the new Migros shop in the historic Badischer Bahnhof railway station. The rooms in the former theatre of the Förnbacher Compagnie in the southern part of the station building are, like the entire building, a listed building. Badischer Bahnhof, one of six railway stations in Basel and today the second largest, was opened in its current form in 1913.
The contract included the complete electrical installation, from the power supply and modern lighting to the technical systems that enable smooth operation. “The work in the listed building was particularly exciting,” said Selmoni in a company press release. The historical substance demanded creative solutions, careful planning and close coordination with the authorities to ensure that tradition and modern technology were in harmony”.
Christophe Hassler, Business Unit Manager at Selmoni Installation AG, describes this project as “an exciting challenge: realising modern electrical installations in a listed building without compromising its historical substance. With great care and innovative solutions, my team proved that technology and history can harmonise perfectly.”
Selmoni was founded in 1934. The approximately 600 employees serve global corporations as well as private individuals. The company focuses on innovative solutions and digitalisation in construction. New technologies such as prefabrication, drilling robots, building information modelling and Hololens are already part of Selmoni’s everyday work to make construction projects faster, safer and more sustainable.
Selmoni is one of five finalists for the Prix SVC Nordschweiz. This prize from the SME network Swiss Venture Club(SVC) will be awarded on 13 November in front of around 1,000 guests at the Congress Center Basel.
