In memoriam: Klemens Haselsteiner, CEO of STRABAG SE

STRABAG SE, the publicly listed European technology group for construction services, was faced with largely declining markets in 2023. Thanks to its ability to cover the entire construction value chain and due to its broad geographical presence, however, STRABAG can look back on a strong performance in 2023.

Great news for the STRABAG Group in Chile: Group company ZÜBLIN SpA has been awarded a further contract by Codelco in "El Teniente" - the largest underground mine in the world - with a contract value of around € 80 million.

The Canadian subsidiary of the listed construction group STRABAG has been awarded the contract for the design and construction of the eastern underground section of the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension, a 9.2 km extension of the future Eglinton Crosstown LRT line with seven stops. The project will create a continuous rapid transit line that will run from the east of Toronto through the city center to the west to the neighboring community of Mississauga. The contract, worth approximately € 175 million (CAD 255 million), will be executed under a design-build-finance model. The main construction work is expected to begin in 2024.

From the fall, the tunnel boring machine (TBM) will be used to build the new U2 tunnels between Matzleinsdorfer Platz and Augustinplatz in Vienna. The factory acceptance of the TBM by Wiener Linien, STRABAG and Porr marks an important step in the expansion of the U2xU5. The TBM will work through around 4 kilometers of Vienna's underground after the station shafts and emergency exits have been completed.

The honor was bestowed upon during a ceremony hosted by the UAE Society of Engineers at the Mohammed bin Rashid Library, where Sheikh Rashid bin Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Supreme President of the Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation for Medical and Educational Sciences, recognized the winners.

In June 2019, STRABAG’s tunnelling specialists began excavating a 37 km tunnel beneath the North York Moors National Park with a Herrenknecht tunnel boring machine (TBM). Now the project team has a very special reason to celebrate: the tunnel drive for the Woodsmith mine near Whitby in the north-east of England has reached the 25.8 kilometre mark, setting a new world record for the longest single tunnel boring machine drive. The 1,775-tonne machine with a diameter of 6 metres, named Stella-Rose, has been boring underground for around four and a half years.

Important milestones completed - and winner of Health & Safety Awards! The Hatta Pumped Storage Project team is proud to have completed two RCC dams, the upper and lower intakes, two access tunnels, a high pressure water tunnel and the turbine shaft, while the main installation of the consortium partner's electromechanical equipment is reaching its culmination.

The Shore Crossing is required to connect an approximately 50-kilometre-long pipeline that will run from the planned LNG terminal in the port of Mukran to the German gas pipeline network in Lubmin. This project in Lubmin has been successfully completed by our multi-national Team earlier this year.
