Züblin AG has become the number one building construction and civil engineering company in Germany. This remarkable development was made possible by a simple, yet very effective credo: We find the best solution to each task. Since its foundation in 1898 by Swiss engineer Eduard Züblin, the company has succeeded by its innovative power, expressed in intelligent designs, new building materials and progressive manufacturing methods. The success of Ed. Züblin AG, a company that is part of the globally operating STRABAG SE, can be attributed to the creativity and commitment of 13,000 employees, who implement building projects by pooling their resources. High class, in time and within competitive budgets. Züblin believes in constructive cooperation. The knowledge of highly qualified engineers, scientists and economists is pooled in special research teams where it is shaped into complete services that set new standards through economic efficiency, superior quality and environmental awareness. Modern partnering models ensure openness and transparency between all parties involved in the project from the start of planning to completion. Clear, contractually defined objectives, an early breakdown of costs and regular controlling provide planning reliability and the possibility to optimise processes. Over the course of many decades, sustainable and economical buildings have been realised, from turn-key administration and industrial buildings, bridges as well as spectacular tunnels or motorway viaducts, which are based on excellent engineering knowledge and highly developed technology. 1+3 Züblin-Haus, Stuttgart 2 Z3, Stuttgart 4 Z-zwo, Stuttgart 2 3 4 5 www.zueblin.de 1 MilEstones 1923 Introduction of the centrifugal process for concrete pipe production 1950 Development of a special method for using prestressed concrete for large bridges 60s Introduction of new technologies in ground engineering 1962 First-ever use of the free-cantilever method for constructing a large bridge (developed further as incremental launching method) 1971 Invention of the „6M-System“ (which later became the most widely used prefabricated construction method in Germany) 1977 Construction of the first Züblin solid track system - tracks on concrete beds. 80s Construction of worldwide relevant river barrages 1995 Construction on the Engelberg base tunnel near Stuttgart – Germany‘s largest car tunnel cross-section in difficult geology 2003 Development of the Züblin-5D-Vision building process software for planning and execution 2006 Development of thermal energy storages for solar power plants and compressed air energy storage plants 2008 Office high-rise OpernTurm Frankfurt, shell in 4-day cycles per storey 2010 Energietübbing® pilot project for geothermal activation of machine-bored tunnels 2011–2012 Investment in timber engineering; acquisitions in chimney and refractory works, steel engineering and structural rehabilitation the company WE ARE MAKING HISTORY THE FOUNDING FATHER With this man a new era commenced in the building industry. Eduard Züblin was a trained engineer when he founded his engineering office for cement-iron structures in the Alsace back in 1898. He soon became aware of the advantages of ferroconcrete and contributed considerably to the refinement of this building material. This led to new areas of application and construction methods which again formed the basis of our successful company history. THE COMPANY Since 1919, we have been honing our competitive edge in the construction industry under the company name Ed. Züblin AG. A solid number of contracts with numerous bridge construction and large-scale industrial projects helped us through and beyond the Great Depression. Earlier than others we opted for electronic data processing and extended our business fields in a continuous and solution-oriented manner by adding special divisions such as environmental engineering and tunnelling. The ground engineering services we rendered during complex projects won us additional national and international recognition. Our engineers set new standards pushing the limits of technical feasibility with many spectacular projects. The STAFF Integrating the German building construction and civil engineering activities of STRABAG in 2006 made us the Number One in Germany in this business field. Today, our team is made up of 13,000 skilled members. With our divisions and associated companies we are a high-powered company operating all around the globe and generating an annual construction output of approximately EUR 3 bn. 3 2 4 1 Mercedes-Benz Museum, Stuttgart, 2005 2 Eduard Züblin, 1850-1916 3 Wadi Thartar Project, barrage on the River Tigris (Iraq), 1956 4 Chur-Arosa Railroad Bridge (Switzerland), 1912 5 Public Pool in Heslach, Stuttgart, 1927 5 7 www.zueblin.de 1 TECHNICAL HEAD OFFICE Services MULTI-DISCIPLINE KNOW-HOW Technical assistance for the operating units: • acquisition • tendering • construction design • design management • expert site management The centrepiece of our company, where all our technical know-how is pooled, is the Technical Head Office (Zentrale Technik, ZT).

With our partnership model, the Züblin teamconcept, we can positively influence all later construction and operating costs. In other words: The earlier the competences of the various specialist divisions are being concentrated, the higher the optimisation potential. Züblin teamconcept provides you with a friction-free and successful project execution which, from day one, guarantees top efficiency for development, implementation and the entire life-cycle. We translate the principles of partnering into a definite and contractually laid-down procedure, and due to the partnership between building owner, planner, and general contractor, you as our client receive all services from one single source. 2 4 1 ADAC, Munich 2 ‘De Rotterdam’, Rotterdam (NL) 3 Thier-Galerie, Dortmund 4 ‘Hamburger Meile’, Hamburg 5 THE SQUAIRE, Frankfurt/M. 5 © IVG 3 17 © Aldinger & Wolf www.zueblin.de 1 CIVIL ENGINEERING COMPREHENSIVE COMPLEXITY Complexity calls for top performance. Civil engineering structures are thus a particular challenge for all parties involved. We are your expert partner when it comes to constructing demanding large-scale projects of the highest quality, in an on-schedule, cost-efficient and yet attractive way. To this end, we apply costefficient construction methods and see to cost-optimisation and an exact timing. As a renowned player in the construction industry we execute exemplary projects that meet the ever-increasing requirements of the business world, also in the far away future. Our clientele comprises industrial enterprises, federal, state and municipal public bodies and also private investors. Our service portfolio is tuned to the most diverse customer demands and stretches from individual services, such as the construction of industrial floors, all the way to the construction of turnkey general contractor projects. 1 Underground train station Stuttgart 2 Transformer station, Anholt (DK) 3 Flood barrier Greifswald 4 TaunusTurm, Frankfurt/M. 5 Bridge over the Waal (NL) 2 Even long-lasting, hydraulic engineering structures have to be modified or rebuilt due to changed technical, hydrological and financial requirements. We build the required retaining structures and weir systems for flood protection on the coast as well as inland. Freight, container and cruise ships docking in ports become larger and larger. New port facilities built by us create the conditions required to handle them. Extension of inland waterways requires new crossing structures and lock systems. We also have many years of experience in the offshore sector, for example in the realisation of foundations for offshore wind energy plants. 3 4 5 19 www.zueblin.de 1 Tunnelling HIGH-PERFORMANCE MACHINERY Work in the dark is extremely demanding. Tunnelling, in particular, requires tremendous skills and enormous experience of all people involved. With our engineers and miners, who all have hands-on experience, we have been successfully constructing tunnels and caverns for rapid transit, underground, and railway lines, roads and hydroelectric stations, as well as water supply and waste water systems for more than 40 years. We have built hundreds of kilometres of bored tunnels, walk-in pipelines using pipe jacking, and cut-and-cover tunnels around the world. This wealth of experience enables us to continuously contribute to the progress of underground routes. Therefore, the multitude of our technological innovations in this engineering discipline constantly opens up new fields of application and increases the efficiency of the individual methods. An outstanding characteristic of our engineers is their strive for perfection. That‘s why they challenge the status quo every day anew. The cost-benefit ratio of even the most miniscule detail will be optimized and the construction process made even more efficient. Technical innovations in tunnelling provide for new fields of application and an improved efficiency of the individual methods – also in the future: that‘s what our engineers aim at. As a result, today, it often isn‘t any cheaper to have a tunnel built cut-and-cover than by boring it. Since the closed tunnel construction method also offers considerable advantages in terms of tunnel route, environmental compatibility and traffic routing, this method is chosen more and more frequently. 2 1 AYALON Main Sewage Line, Tel Aviv (IL) 2 Branichtunnel, Schriesheim 3 Pumped storage power plant Vianden (L) 4 Tunnel Schwäbisch Gmünd 3 4 21 © Henning Kreft, Langen www.zueblin.de 1 GROUND ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTAL MASTERPIECES Construction pits, grout blankets or foundation slabs are of fundamental importance and are the backbone of every structure. Our Züblin Spezialtiefbau GmbH is well aware of the great responsibility it carries and has managed to build itself an excellent reputation in this engineering discipline. The range of services offered comprises the construction of demanding immersed tunnels, turnkey urban construction pits, as well as high-quality bored piles, diaphragm walls, anchors, soil freezing, and grouting. In the course of infrastructure and traffic projects, sheet piling and hydraulic engineering works are also carried out. Also in ground engineering we are always striving for technological development and innovation. We won‘t give up before we find the best technical and economic solution for every single client. That‘s what our teams of engineers have dedicated themselves to. During a project they work closely together and jointly develop all details, from structural designs to work techniques. All processes are coordinated and optimised. In combination with the wealth of experience, even the most difficult ground engineering tasks can so be tackled. 2 1 Construction pit TaunusTurm, Frankfurt/M. 2 Nord-Zuid-Lijn Amsterdam (NL), soil freezing 3 Söderströmstunneln, Stockholm (S) 4 U 4, Hamburg 5 DESY-XFEL, Hamburg © Trafikverket (S)/Hans Ekestang 3 5 © Meyerfoto 4 23 www.zueblin.de 1 STEEL ENGINEERING ROBUST STRUCTURES Highly loadable and still flexible – these requirements make steel engineering an art of its own. Apart from technical know-how and experience, this engineering discipline calls for a tremendous amount of creativity and craftsmanship. That‘s where we count on our Züblin Stahlbau GmbH, one of Germany‘s leading steel engineering companies, and NE Sander Eisenbau GmbH, acquired in 2011. Core markets besides Germany for our complex steel engineering projects are mainly the countries of Central Europe. We service all the classical segments of structural steelwork construction, steel bridge construction as well as marine steel construction. Providing the structural design and the drafting of workshop drawings using CAD in our own technical office are equally part of our service portfolio as are the manufacture and erection of steel structures. With our monthly capacity of 1,500 t of structural steel constructions we are one of the few companies capable of guaranteeing exact timing even for large-scale projects. Having widened our service portfolio to include industrial façades and complete construction, we now also offer roof and wall cladding – no matter if with or without insulation or of the solid type. Being one of the first companies getting certified in Germany, Züblin Stahlbau GmbH now holds the manufacturer’s qualification according to the German industry standard DIN 18800-7, as well as the newly established certification according to the European standard EN 1090 -1, EXC4. 2 1 Coal-fired power plant, Lünen 2 Coal-fired power plant, Hamm (Westphalia) 3 Chemical plant BASF Schwarzheide 4 John Deere Deconsolidation-Centre, Bruchsal 3 4 25 www.zueblin.de 1 INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES OPERATIONS AROUND THE WORLD Vision, courage and an insatiable curiosity have been the keys to our success all around the world. Since 1953, we have been implementing global projects and have left our mark on many countries. Our international activities include infrastructure projects such as bridges, dams and tunnels as well as complex turnkey industrial facilities, residential developments, office buildings and educational institutions such as schools or universities. What has been crucial for this success abroad was the focus on profitable core markets. In these markets we co-operate with local subsidiaries and branch offices that have the necessary know-how and local networks. During project implementation they are able to avail themselves of state-of-the-art technology on site – supplemented by the know-how we have gathered in Germany. The support from the Technical Head Office and experienced project and site managers guarantees success for our projects even if they are complex. Young engineers, in particular, benefit from our activities abroad. For them, work on a construction site outside Germany is vital for their personal and professional development. 2 1 Sheikh Zayed Desert Learning Centre, Al Ain (UAE) 2 Khalifa Port Industrial Zone, Taweela (UAE) 3 Southern Seawater Desalination Plant, Perth (AUS) 4 Mercedes-Benz assembly plant, Kecskemét (HR) 3 4 27 1 © GKM www.zueblin.de ADDITIONAL SERVICES HOLISTIC APPROACH Special tasks call for a special know-how. Selected subsidiaries and affiliates of the Züblin Group complement our service portfolio – from chimney construction to structural timber engineering or environmental technology. To ensure that our expertise covers the entire value-added chain, Züblin maintains its own plants, e.g. to manufacture precast elements. CHIMNEY AND REFRACTORY works As high as the structures are the demands put on this business field. Wind loads, oscillations and environmental impacts need to be taken into account as do the chemical and physical stresses due to the exposure to flue gas. Environmental protection requirements and high demands on flue gas purification have strongly altered the demands put on the materials used. In refractory engineering, the extremely high thermal loads on plants with furnace temperatures of up to 2,000°C are further challenges to be faced by our engineers. Our specialist companies OOMS-ITTNER-HOF and Behmann are renowned for their know-how in chimney and refractory engineering among end customers and plant engineers in Germany and abroad. No matter if refractory plants, masonry, steel or reinforced concrete chimneys – the design, dimensioning, computation as well as the construction and erection of your structure is always controlled by qualified and skilled staff. And also when it comes to maintenance, repair and reconstruction we are your expert partner. 1 Reinforced concrete chimney, power plant Mannheim 2 Circulating fluidised bed combustion chamber 3 Circulation system, precasting plant Gladbeck 4 Pre-cast façade, office building ‘Ohligsmühle’, Wuppertal PRECASTING PLANTS 2 Individual production, on-schedule delivery and accurate installation: The Züblin precasting plants in Gladbeck and Karlsruhe add to our service portfolio by manufacturing structural load-bearing elements for building construction and geotechnical engineering as well as noise barriers made of reinforced concrete. Here, our main focus is on always producing state-of-the-art components. Experienced staff with longstanding know-how assist our clients with competent advice already in the planning stage. A specialty of our precasting plants is the development and use of the appropriate concrete formulas and specially-structured concrete surfaces. This applies, in particular, to coloured and self-compacting concrete (SCC). We also produce extraordinary façade elements, prestressed components or rail base plates – and all this in an unexcelled certified quality. 3 4 29 www.zueblin.de 1 STRUCTURAL TIMBER ENGINEERING Wood has unique physical characteristics and is a renewable raw material. No other building material meets the ecological demands better, as our customers all across Europe keep confirming over and over again. We stay abreast of this development and have expanded our range of services in structural timber engineering specifically and consistently through the integration of Stephan Holzbau GmbH as well as the timber construction activities of the Merk Group. Züblin, as the market leader in building construction and civil engineering, has set a medium-term goal of becoming number one in the European timber engineering market as well. This way, our engineers promote a development that architects and investors have requested for a long time, i.e. to plan and industrially manufacture wooden structures for a great variety of uses. From supporting structure to building shell – our turn-key projects become increasingly complex. We have the capacity to implement everything from a single source. STRUCTURAL REHABILITATION In our structural maintenance works, we strive especially for economical process techniques with methods that are adapted to the project at hand. That not only means repairing structural damage, but also analysing and combating its causes in order to maintain the structure in the long-term and ensure a lasting restoration success. With decades of experience in processing, renovating and protecting concrete structures, we can deliver impressive results. Our industrial floors and high-grade floor coating systems will also meet the requirements of the greatest challenges. Seamless, highly resistant to mechanical and chemical influences, liquid-tight, non-slip, hygienic and low-wear – those are just a few of the special characteristics of Züblin industrial floors. Innovative solutions such as corrosion monitoring as a preventative early warning system or cathodic protection (CP), which is successful in our company under the brand name capsys®, also help maintaining sensitive reinforced concrete structures for a long time. 2 3 ADDITIONAL SERVICES NOISE BARRIERS Protecting the health of citizens is becoming more and more important in view of the constantly growing volume of traffic on rails and roads. Therefore, we have developed and produced noise barriers for more than 30 years. During that time we have planned and implemented a multitude of construction methods for roads and railways. We find customer-based solutions for all types of technical challenges. For example, we have intensively promoted the research and development of protection systems for high-speed railway lines over the past years. These systems are successfully put to use both for German railways as well as internationally on numerous high-speed traffic segments in China. We apply our know-how as the system leader in Germany and inside the STRABAG Group. In close cooperation with our Technical Head Office and the precasting plants in Karlsruhe and Gladbeck, we offer all types of noise barriers for rails and roads as complete service packages. 1 Linachtal dam, Vöhrenbach 2 Assembly hangar Pilatus, Stans (CH) 3 Underground car park ‘Frauenkirche’ Dresden 4 High-speed system Cologne-Rhine-Main 5 Motorway A8 Wroclaw (PL) 6 Groundwater purification Thane (RI) 4 ENVIRONMENTAL Technology We want a clean future and do our best to help make this wish come true.
