23.5 million for bridge renovation: Infrastructures of the future in view!

In an important infrastructure project, the Puchreith and Galgenbichl slope bridges are extensively renovated. The repair that begins on Monday has a budget of 23.5 million euros and is expected to be completed in three construction phases by the end of 2026. With this measure, not only the structures are reinforced, but also the entire road structure and the edge beams are renewed. In his statement, Alex Thomaschütz, board member of Strabag AG Austria, emphasized the importance of the future -proof design of the infrastructure. Innovative solutions, such as reducing the temperature in asphalt installation, should help reduce the quality and at the same time the emissions, such as ORF Carinthia reported .

As part of these repairs, attention is also paid to the water protection systems, which ensure that pollutants are safely derived. Furthermore, audio and privacy measures are part of the project. These comprehensive renovation work are part of a larger trend towards sustainable building practices, which also focus on the maintenance of existing building fabric. Strabag actively pursues the concept of "building in the existing", which includes resource-saving reuse of older structures in order to reduce emissions and save valuable building material, such as Strabag .

The focus of building in the existing stock is to modernize existing buildings in such a way that they are made fit for new uses. This is done through energy renovation and technical upgrade, which significantly increase the utility value. In times when legal requirements for reducing space consumption and climate -neutral buildings are becoming increasingly urgent, this procedure is particularly relevant. With the use of modern technologies, such as 3D laser scans and drones, the precise analysis of the existing building fabric is made possible to create tailor-made solutions for future uses.
