Dams

Dam construction plays a key role in water governance and power infrastructure projects. Our scope includes the construction of earth and rockfill dams, gravity and arch dams, concrete dams, as well as associated works such as drilling and grouting, water channels, asphalt concrete cores and landfill sites.

Combining dam engineering with hydraulic capabilities, we support the delivery of sustainable and durable dams customized to project needs.

Asphalt sealings

Asphalt concrete is used as a bituminous sealant (ACFD) and asphalt concrete core (ACCD) in dams, reservoirs, canals and other hydraulic engineering structures. STRABAG has more than 70 years of experience in the application of asphalt concrete for dams and hydraulic structures. Continuous material research at our in-house laboratory, TPA GmbH, has resulted in high-quality asphalt mixtures developed for hydraulic engineering, water infrastructure and hydropower projects.
