Building construction

Managing Directors Johann Braun (left) and Gerhard Hupfer The global structural change has long since also affected the construction industry. These days, modern construction work - from planning and execution to warranty release - means more complex measures, more refined techniques, ever short-er deadlines for the execution and thus ever more tougher conditions. And the Max Bgl Group with its Building Construction division has certainly not been spared. While in the past, build䭭ing construction was rather restricted to preliminary building works and thus to concrete, reinforced concrete and...

Functionality in a noble shell: Siemens production building in Stuttgart-Weilimdorf (right) and the transparent factory in Dresden (above) ... not only a matter of aesthetics Beautiful architecture is geared to the needs of man; its proportions are harmonic and consisͭtent.

The division of calculation structural engineering works under considration of all relevant planning parameters. Given the fact that these large projects were realised in accordance with functional specifications and the corre-sponding plans, the high tech-nical competence required of the calculation department as early as the tendering stage is quite obvious. It was necessary to identify all the interfaces between the numerous different trades, to take into account all the conditions of the planning and building permission and the various expert opinions in full, to keep the entrepreneurial...

Since the construction of the Arena in Delphi and the Colos-seum in Rome, stadiums have been built in the Occident for 2000 years. In bygone days they served the self-experience and management of the masses. In contrast to that, today's modern stadium is a place geared towards a football ritual. It is, at the same time, a studio for the mass media and commerce. Built above all for world events like the Olympics or world championships, these arenas are expected to bring profit to the respective region also when the big event is over, and both in social and financial terms. Multi-functionality...

The RheinEnergieStadion the new landmark of Cologne, next to the cathedral and the arch over the Arena - was being rebuilt into a modern football arena for more than 50,000 spectators during the football season.

Nowadays, the pro-cess between planning and execution has become much shorter and the use of complex planning-control software can make the task easier. On the other...

The production and distribution of goods form the backbone of our national economy. Main-taining it on the most modern level of technological development is the basis of a continuing prosperity and further develͭopment of society. This poses demanding and also changing challenges to the construction industry. The processes of procurement, processing and further distribution of pre-, semi-finished and finished products as well as of merchandise are becom-ing separated from each other, which leads to the construction of specialised warehouses and transhipment centres in addiͭtion to the production...
