Basel trade fair, Switzerland's most important trade fair venue and one of the most important ones in Europe, was given a new and larger exhibition hall on the exhibition grounds in 2013.

The project

The complex and impressive exhibition building with its extravagant façade was preceded by two outdated exhibition complexes.

In only 22 months, divided into three construction phases, the new construction of the large three-storey hall complex with a length of 220 metres, a width of 90 metres and a height of 32 metres began in 2010 as an extension to the existing hall 1.

BCL was responsible for the construction logistics planning and for the execution of the construction logistics. 

A special challenge: The construction processes sequences had to be planned and controlled in such a way that trade fairs and events could continue to be held without major restrictions.
