OF PORR

Angelina Marko is responsible for ensuring safety on PORR construction sites. In the interview, she reveals why she enjoys her job so much and describes her experiences as a woman in this industry.

There’s something in the air. Ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide for example. And yet, with the right construction materials you can significantly improve the air quality in cities.

PORR has built the BMW Group Campus, spanning over 12,000 m², in Salzburg. With BIM, LEAN Construction it was possible to deliver the project on time.

City or country – that’s a choice you don’t need to make. More and more space is being made for nature in urban settings. And that has a lot of advantages. For people. And for the environment.

Electricity from renewable energy sources has long been seen as an immature alternative with potential for improvement. But investing in wind power now makes a lot of sense. At all levels.

Sea levels are rising. And sooner rather than later, coastal cities will have to respond. Some have already done so. And there are multiple exciting concepts for the worst-case scenario as well.

Jvan Tresch is a Swiss Master in lead climbing, he’s defeated many new big wall routes all over the world and he uses his talent for his work in the Rock Team at PORR SUISSE AG.

Sustainable buildings as a chip off the old block? Wood is gaining popularity as a construction material. With a lot of benefits. Primarily for the environment.

It has been around for a while, the construction site of the future. New technologies are bringing together everyone involved in a project. And letting them see what cannot be viewed by the naked eye.

Concrete is the world’s most popular construction material. Popular but not sustainable. Unless it happens to be recycled. And unless construction waste is used to make something new.

They have been to outer space and can detect explosives. But the most impressive thing about bees is what they mean for the environment. That's why PORR is helping these critically endangered insects.

In Bavaria’s Isar Valley, PORR carried out badly needed renovations on the Sylvenstein Reservoir headrace tunnel.

The Internet of Things and the use of artificial intelligence are making the construction sector smarter. And the data generated from this is in turn making all construction processes more efficient.

PORR participated in a consortium comprehensively renovating and extending a 15km stretch of railway line along the Gotthard axis – in just eighteen months.

Almost 18%, that’s how much of the world’s electrical energy comes from

hydropower. And it’s climbing. After all, in times of climate change,

renewable energy holds the key to a liveable future.
