More issues at BER…
Potsdam. Further breakdown of the capital airport: After the building due to heavy Smoke removal fans need to be on the site also have 600 fire walls to be renewed.
“We have a good number of walls, the as fire barriers are defined, but not were built,” said Airport Karsten Mühlenfeld in Flughafenausschuss of the Brandenburg state Parliament. Therefore would need around 600 walls were torn down and rebuilt, because unauthorised copies of the porous stones were used.
The Airport expects because of the glitches with a Bauverzögerung of three to four months at BER in Schönefeld. The scheduled construction completion by March 2016 would therefore be to not hold any more, said Mühlenfeld. “We have, but still potential for the technical commissioning, so that we have the opportunity, in the second half of 2017.”

“I accept that the citizens and our politicians are slowly getting fed up of the bad news,” said Bretschneider. “But I ask also that we are once again properly Express and come to solutions.” Mühlenfeld hit the same score. “Discuss, you can only do that if you believe, you may still be ten years with Tegel and Schönefeld-Old life.”
Also, the CDU Chairman of the airport Committee, Rainer Genilke, turned against his party friend Koeppen. “We have since in Schönefeld six billion euros in fixed assets,” said Genilke the German press Agency. “We now concentrate on the fact that we there is a working and quickly Start walking the airport first.” In addition, should the Airport be rapidly expanded. “It is, and remains, an airport, the provisionals, because of the constant increase in passenger figures in terms of design never been taken into account,” noted Genilke.
