New Fire Station and Municipal Operations Building, BKP 463 Landscaping Works

The existing fire station, the municipal maintenance depot integrated within it (maintenance and forestry services), as well as the main recycling centre, water utility facilities, and various civil protection installations located elsewhere in Illnau-Effretikon, no longer meet current requirements.

These municipal services and the facilities they require are therefore to be consolidated on a centrally located site within the Eselriet area, on the outskirts of Effretikon. The new Eselriet location provides the opportunity to fully accommodate the needs identified by the Departments of Public Safety and Civil Engineering.

A new fire station and municipal operations building is therefore planned for the site. It will serve the Department of Public Safety (Fire Service, Emergency Services, and Civil Protection) as well as the Department of Civil Engineering (Maintenance Services, Forestry and Nature Conservation, Waste Management, and Water Supply).

The objective is to create a sustainable, future-oriented, and functional facility that generates synergies and brings together the needs of the Fire Service, Civil Protection, Maintenance Services, Forestry Services, the Main Recycling Centre, and the Water Supply Department within a single integrated complex.
