Division HOCHTIEF Europe
As the management company for the HOCHTIEF Europe division, HOCHTIEF Solutions AG encompasses the core business in Europe. The operating subsidiaries supply services in our lines of business under the umbrella of HOCHTIEF Solutions AG. This structure combines the advantages of operating more like a small- or mediumsized enterprise with the service range and financial strength of an internationally experienced construction group.
HOCHTIEF Infrastructure, HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions, and HOCHTIEF Engineering, provide services primarily for infrastructure and building construction projects as well as public-private partnerships (PPP) in addition to engineering, with a focus on the transportation, energy, and social and urban infrastructure segments. The newly founded service company “synexs” responds to rising demand for modern facility management. HOCHTIEF Projektentwicklung is also part of the division.
We have had a focus on digital construction for many years in HOCHTIEF ViCon. Today, this company is one of the leading service providers and consultants in virtual construction/Building Information Modeling (BIM) with locations in Germany, Qatar, and the United Kingdom.

As a partner to the public sector, HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions offers project design, financing, construction, and management services. It delivers end-to-end PPP solutions for transportation, energy, and social infrastructure projects covering the entire life cycle of the project. Our strategy is to take on PPP projects only when we are also tasked with implementing the construction phase.

Prague Metro
As member of a joint venture, HOCHTIEF Solutions has been awarded the contract to extend Prague’s metro by a total of 6.2 kilometers. While our tunnel construction specialists will carry out drilland- blast tunneling works, we will also build two of the four underground stations and provide the adjoining aboveground infrastructure, such as a bus terminal and the exterior facilities. This is a follow-on contract; in work performed between 2004 and 2007, HOCHTIEF built the architecturally impressive Prosek metro station in the Czech capital.

La Confluencia hydroelectric power station
HOCHTIEF Solutions designed and built a turnkey run-of-river power station around 220 kilometers southeast of Santiago de Chile. The contract included an above-ground power plant, several tunnels, and a pressure shaft driven some 360 meters vertically into the ground. HOCHTIEF was also responsible for the construction of the access roads, all the concrete work for the catchment system, the turbines/generators, all building services, the steel construction for the isolated water catchment vessels, and connecting the system to the grid. La Confluencia’s watershed has a capacity of 1.2 million cubic meters. The new hydroelectric power station will cut annual CO2 emissions in Chile by more than 400,000 metric tons.

Cheves hydroelectric power station
The Cheves hydroelectric power station is being built in the Peruvian Andes at a height of 2,000 meters. In addition to the underground power plant, the HOCHTIEF Solutions contract includes building 17 kilometers of tunnel, two weirs, and a dam. The 168-megawatt plant is designed to generate enough energy to cover the maximum requirements in the Lima area after handover in late 2013.

Newhaven energy recovery facility
Several HOCHTIEF units collaborated to build a waste incinerator in southeast England. It generates electricity for some 16,000 households from 210,000 metric tons of domestic waste each year. Besides developing the plant’s design, we served as the general contractor for the construction pit, earthwork operations, shell and interior work, facade, heating system, air conditioning, and ventilation. Our engineering units also developed a special construction process to minimize the impact on groundwater levels, and managed the entire design and approval process. The plant officially commenced operations in mid-2012.

maxCologne
When HOCHTIEF completed the maxCologne office complex in early 2013, the property was already fully leased. It was also the recipient of Gold precertification as a green building by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) as well as garnering an award in the “Existing Project Developments” category from industry publication Immobilienmanager. After complete renovation, the office buildings, which were originally constructed in the 1970s, feature a double-skin glass facade, boast aboveaverage energy efficiency, and use renewable sources of energy. Direct views of Cologne Cathedral are afforded both by the floors overlooking the Rhine at the front of the building and the towers. A base building between the office blocks was dismantled and replaced with a wide, open square.

Elbe Philharmonic Hall
In Hamburg, a new landmark was created: Elbe Philharmonic Hall. Located mid-port with its footing on a historical quayside warehouse, the highly complex construction project was carried out by HOCHTIEF Solutions. A striking feature is the building’s tall glass wave crest. One of the best concert halls in the world, a luxury 250-bed hotel, and exclusive condominiums are located under its roof. At 37 meters high, a plaza provides a stunning panoramic view of Germany’s largest port. It is a centerpiece of the project and designed as a place for the public to meet and interact.
