Frequently asked questions

Yes. Our own vehicle and equipment fleet, heavy transport logistics and trained teams enable work outside Austria. Project-specific safety and site access instructions are taken into account.

Steel construction: site inspection and measurement → engineering calculations and 3D planning → fabrication and inspection → delivery and installation.
Cable projects: coordinate route, cable and drum → select pulling and transport equipment → cable pulling and installation → testing and documented handover.
Both companies work together so site requirements inform planning and fabrication from the outset.

Clients and partners include ELIN, VERBUND, EQOS Energie, Südkabel, ÖBB, EVN, Energie Steiermark and Wiener Netze.
