Renovation and optimisation of the ewz Herdern site
The Herdern site on Pfingstweidstrasse 85, Zurich West, is home to the ewz maintenance depot. The site is primarily used by the ewz’s Grids division, which is responsible for operating the electricity grid in the city of Zurich. Almost 350 employees work at the Herdern maintenance depot, which also offers storage for the materials required to operate the city’s distribution grid.
As the current configuration of the structures and the site itself do not meet the operational needs of the Grids division, ewz is currently obliged to rent additional external space for offices and storage. The aim is for the Herdern site to become a second headquarters – alongside the existing administration building in Oerlikon – with space for around 600 employees. This would allow ewz to consolidate its workplaces and storage facilities in the city at the two headquarters of Oerlikon and Herdern.
