Service spectrum

Integrated approach to projects

Size in itself is worth nothing. But our size has been achieved by bringing together broad-based areas of expertise, and the ability to provide consultancy, design and steering throughout every phase of a project. This allows us to take an integrated approach to projects, from concept phase to the subsequent operation of a property. Our core competencies are customized construction and building engineering design, design management and consultancy services as well as engineering services in the business areas of transportation infrastructure, energy infrastructure and building. Alongside these business areas, we provide the required cross-section services for all areas in the fields of construction process management, project steering, construction materials, and digital project management and digital planning solutions (incl. BIM Management).

Our experience extends to all kinds of transportation structures, to conventional and renewable energy generation, transfer and storage in the area of energy, and to industrial production facilities and public-sector and private buildings of every type.

International projects

Huge experience of complex large-scale projects

Forth Replacement Crossing, Queensferry Scotland

Thanks to the long-standing international project and construction site experience, we are in a position to undertake projects of enormous size and greatest complexity, that are very technically demanding even with short mobilization times, big teams, and in foreign-language environments.

HOCHTIEF Engineering is part of the ACS Group's Global Engineering Network (GEN), which brings together over 2,000 experienced engineers worldwide to deliver innovative energy, technology and infrastructure projects as well as established major projects with a comprehensive range of expertise. Supported by leading companies within the global ACS Group, GEN offers an impressive diversity of expertise and a solid foundation in construction management. Through cross-border collaboration, GEN mobilizes global engineering knowledge and combines it with regional expertise to deliver tailor-made solutions for complex and significant projects. Early involvement in dynamic industries such as advanced technology and energy transition enables GEN to proactively manage risk, maximize value and reduce lifecycle costs.

Construction

Cost-effective and practice-oriented

Our work has been characterized over many decades by direct proximity to the needs of construction and the demands of project management. This puts us in the unique position of being able to develop and implement design solutions of excellent construction feasibility and great functionality, at affordable prices and in the shortest space of time. Since detail design is one of our great strengths, we can offer practical implementation variants, superior special proposals, high-end value engineering and innovative problem solutions. When providing design and consultancy services for work preparation, construction site set-up, construction site logistics and scheduling, we are guided by the highest cost-effectiveness standards.

Design and project steering

High level of management competency

Our extensive project expertise is demonstrated not only by our exceptional ability to provide expert technical and methodological steering of design processes and large design teams. We also bring our wide-ranging experience to bear for our clients with regard to project steering and construction management. Under the label of “Project Engineering”, we offer a broad service spectrum covering the supervision and management of projects and processes for our private and public-sector clients.

Procurement

Warning of invoice fraud

Invoice fraud attempts are currently taking place, most recently on the SAP Ariba platform. In these cases, fraudsters pose as HOCHTIEF employees and attempt to place orders with suppliers in their name and have the ordered goods delivered to themselves. Email addresses similar to HOCHTIEF email addresses are regularly used for this purpose. If you receive such an order, delete it.

Our procurement process is designed to prevent these activities. Therefore, no goods or services should be provided without a valid purchase order (PO). This protects against fraudulent activities. Orders are only sent from the following domains:
@hochtief.de
@hochtief.ch
@hochtief.com
@hochtief.eu

All domains use the security features such as SPF or DKIM. Use these as one technical measure alongside other plausibility checks to verify the authenticity of incoming mails.

We recommend that you forward suspicious emails to the Federal Office for Information Security (phishing@bsi.bund.de).

Purchasing for the projects is coordinated by a central unit within our European business. Besides Governance and Compliance tasks, this central unit also is in charge of negotiating and making available the materials and services required by all units.

HOCHTIEF Engineering adheres to the same guiding principles as HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft.
