OF PORR

For buildings to become smart, they need to collect data. What data that is. And how to prevent it falling into the wrong hands. An overview.

PORR's special civil engineering team dug 22.7 metres into the ground for DC Tower 2 in Vienna. This created a secure foundation for the tower.

Diversity - definitely: people from all over the world work at PNC. And they do so on impressive construction projects all over Norway.

As ecological as a train, as fast as a plane - these are the hopes placed in the Hyperloop. However, the system is the subject of controversial debate.

At PORR, Thomas and David are driving the future topics of the construction industry: digitalisation and sustainability. In the interview, the Bachinger brothers talk about what else connects them.

Whether floating skyscrapers or cities, the ideas and visions of contemporary architecture seem to know no bounds. These are our top 10.

Christian Sattler is responsible for surveying - one of many jobs at PORR that digitalisation makes even more exciting.

The Auenfeld barracks are to become one of the most important army bases in Switzerland. PORR has a solution for such challenges: BIM to Field.

Building Information Modelling has revolutionised our industry. PNC Norge is also using digital tools to build the Randselva Bridge. A report from the far north shows how.

Bridges do far more than connect two places. They bring people together and promote cultural exchange. In technical terms, every bridge is a masterpiece – but some stand out in particular.

How construction has changed. The impact of climate change. And why foremen used to have to carry small change. Edwin Gisler, who has been with PORR SUISSE AG for 37 years, tells us all this and more.

Different conditions, different equipment, different methods – ten PORR students learnt a lot on their field trip to Japan for the Lean Construction Management course.

What does a metropolis need to be capable of 20 years from now? How can climate change be addressed? New megacities fresh off the drawing board may have the answers.

AI is on everyone’s lips. Many are using it. Some warn against it. Either way, the construction sector can certainly benefit from artificial intelligence. Here’s how.

Buildings with the highest safety standards can fulfil sustainability requirements to a high degree. Here are two prime examples by Fernando Menis Arquitectos.
