The city of Moers has commissioned a new town hall under a PPP contract with HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions. The contract includes construction of a new building, refurbishment of the heritage-protected existing town hall and the building of a cultural and education center. HOCHTIEF Construction is performing the building work. HOCHTIEF Facility Management will operate the buildings for 23 years. We also provide all furniture, fixtures and fittings. Significant savings have been achieved by efficiently dovetailing design, construction and operation.
Turner is building a Readiness Center for the Army National Guard in Arlington, Virginia. The 23,000-square-meter complex is set to qualify for LEED Silver certification.
In 2008, HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions secured the contract for the first PPP building project to be awarded by the German federal government. The contract is to design, finance, refurbish, build and operate the Fürst Wrede barracks in the north of Munich. This is also Germany’s first PPP-based defense building project. As some of the existing buildings can be preserved, only a small number of new buildings are needed for the refurbishment project, which will serve some 1,600 personnel. The complex consists of 37 barracks, offices and training buildings plus motor pools and sports facilities.
Airports
Our American subsidiaries Turner and Flatiron, working in partnership with another company, are expanding Terminal 2 at California’s San Diego International Airport. Additions include a three-story extension, ten extra gates, a new check-in zone and further retail space. The work also includes new taxiways and jet parking. The project is expected to secure LEED Silver certification. Our two US subsidiaries are also modernizing and extending Sacramento International Airport. The goal on this project is likewise LEED certification. The two contracts are the latest successful outcome of close cooperation between Turner and Flatiron and provide further testimony to the excellent integration among all units in the HOCHTIEF Group.
HOCHTIEF AirPort, too, proceeds in conformity with sustainability objectives when modernizing and expanding airport capacity. Our primary goal here is to fulfill people’s desire for mobility. In doing so, however, we observe the need to safeguard people, the environment, water resources, the atmosphere and the cultural heritage. In our airports portfolio, for example, Sydney Airport is framing an environmental strategy that is to be implemented up to 2015— but will first undergo a citizens’ consultation process. One aspect of the strategy deals with efficient and cost-effective use of clean energy to cut carbon emissions.
