Infrastructure & global construction

The area encompasses ground construction, excavation and road construction, demolition and recycling industries or crushing, screening and conveying technology.

Investments in the infrastructure serve to provide society with an optimum long-term framework.

This frequently concerns the basic accoutrements of the economy of a country or region.

Amongst others, these concern technical infrastructure projects. They include, for example, the construction or repair of the road network, bridges or waterways.

Access to the energy supply, electrical energy or the gas supply is also ensured within the scope of such projects.
