Vienna sets new standards: CO2-neutral construction sites in the test!

Wien, Österreich - In Vienna, an ambitious pilot project is carried out, which focuses on the renewal of water pipes over a distance of 400 meters on Alpengartenstrasse. This project is part of the initiative for a "CO2-neutral construction site", which was launched by the city of Vienna in cooperation with the construction company Porr. Climate Councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky emphasizes: "Our goal is clear, out of fossil energies, everywhere!" The construction machines, including a tandem vibration roller and various electric vehicles, are operated with electricity to reduce CO2 emissions and noise pollution. This individual project is intended to serve as a model for future construction projects in which renewable energies will play a key role, as wien.orf.at

technology meets construction

Technological progress is combined with innovative methods as part of the Raven project. High -precision geodetic measurements and the analysis of satellite data enable experts to track movement patterns of buildings in the subcentimeter range. This combination of satellite technology and detailed soil measurements could make Vienna a pioneer in urban planning and infrastructure development. The Sentinel-1 satellite is also used as part of the EU initiative Copernicus to collect data via the earth's surface-regardless of weather conditions.
