Go-Kart Zentrum Stuttgart (Mezzanin)
Millimeter-accurate for full throttle – an EXC 3 mezzanine for new go-kart racing
A former Mercedes factory from the 1970s is being transformed into a new go-kart center – a challenging conversion project in an
existing industrial building. A new steel mezzanine adds usable space while safely handling dynamic loads. Because the structure is
dynamically stressed, the project falls under execution class EXC 3.
Accuracy was everything. New columns had to align precisely with the existing basement supports. At the same time, cable routing into
a slab that is partially only 12 cm thick required absolute precision – all while the original structural documentation was incomplete.
Design constraints added another layer: the system had to be as slim as possible so karts can pass under massive concrete beams
without restriction.
We engineered, fabricated and installed the complete steel package, including new details such as steep banked curves and S-ramps
built from welded girders. The lounge area was upgraded as well, featuring an industrial glass wall of roughly 400 m². Produced in Ramec
1 and 3 – executed with maximum dimensional accuracy.
In an existing building, surveying is everything. Before fabrication we checked the existing grid and verified column positions on site. The
structure was designed to fit the hall precisely while transferring loads into the available supports in a controlled manner. A conversion
project that shows how much engineering is behind what sounds like “just a mezzanine.” From coordination to execution, the build was
driven by precision, safety and a clear user experience.
