| Strabag SE takes over Wallsee-based Brandner Wasserbau Austria-based engineering and construction group Strabag SE has acquired 100 % of Brandner Wasserbau GmbH based in Wallsee, Lower Austria, effective retroactively to 1 January 2012. The family SME has been active in the fields of hydraulic engineering, sand and gravel mining, and hydrography for more than 200 years. Brandner Wasserbau employs some 40 people. Most of its revenue was generated in the field of hydraulic engineering with an extensive fleet of ships and specialty maritime equipment. The company also has access to raw material resources that are important for hydraulic engineering on the Danube, including a quarry and a gravel pit directly on the riverbank. With the acquisition of the hydraulic engineering firms Möbius and Ludwig Voss in the past few years, Strabag has become the hydraulic engineering market leader in Germany. The acquisition of Brandner now allows the group to also work this business field in Austria using its own equipment and personnel An important order – the pilot project "Via Donau" to deepen the Danube – has already been won. This ensures a rapid use of equipment capacity and the ideal application of Brandner's special know-how. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
