Last-minute rescue – how SMARTRESQ technology worked their magic at Children’s Hospital Zurich

A technical error – more than 500 holes drilled incorrectly – recently threatened to blow the schedule and the budget out of the water for the prestigious new building at the Children’s Hospital in Zurich, designed by Herzog & de Meuron. But thanks to fast and expert intervention by SMARTRESQ, the potential disaster became a triumph for building cosmetics.

Stepping up to the challenge with expertise

The team’s technicians used specialist techniques to retouch the unsightly drill holes so that the affected room doors and frames did not need to be replaced. This quick and efficient solution not only preserved the aesthetic appearance, but was also cost-effective and sustainable.
