Upgrades and refurbishment

“The world – at least in Europe – is built. The future lies in the use of existing buildings.”

Prof. Christoph M. Achammer

Existing structures and resources are a valuable treasure. Regardless of whether it is a building that is a few years, a few decades or a few centuries old. What we prudently preserve or add to today is also secured value for future generations. This is sustainability in construction at its best!
As steel fabricators, we are therefore proud that we have helped to preserve a number of buildings in recent years and make them fit for the future. We have received numerous awards for our efforts.

Upgrading for a new benefit

Steel construction makes old and new compatible. It creates new possibilities for use without interfering too much with the old substance. Whether an old slaughterhouse like in St. Marx in Vienna, which we have adapted for a new use as an event location, a historic train station like in Salzburg, an old university, a bridge that has shaped a cityscape for many decades: steel and glass preserve, connect, complement and modernize.

In our view, the refurbishment of Salzburg Central Station deserves special mention. We carefully dismantled historical steel structures, then transported them to a Group-owned plant, refurbished and reinforced them and finally rebuilt them in Salzburg. Other projects included the Ronacher Theater and the airport in Vienna, as well as the airports in Warsaw and Krakow and the Lodz railroad station in Poland.
