Demand for energy is high in modern industrial nations and emerging economies. Whats more, many countries have committed to increase their use of
renewable energy sources. To achieve this, infrastructure needs to be expanded and upgraded, for instance, with new power plants, expanded grids, and
innovative storage facilities. With its portfolio, HOCHTIEF is in an ideal position
to take on such energy infrastructure projects.

Wind farms on land: Towers with a hub height of around 140 meters
are ideal for harnessing wind power in forested areas. To make it cheaper and
logistically easier to erect these towers in forests where passage is difficult,
HOCHTIEF is developing slipform tower foundations. The benefits of the slipform technique: The compact site setup minimizes disturbance to the surrounding natural environment, the method is tried and tested, it requires only
brief crane operation times, it is resistant to poor weather and low temperatures during setup, and it is easy to dismantle.

In past decades, HOCHTIEF designed, built, and operated numerous nuclear power
plants. This in-depth experience now makes us the right partner when it comes to their
safe and innovative decommissioning. Services include concept, approval, and execution planning for decommissioning projects. We also coordinate and perform decommissioning work. All work is carried out by our own in-house team of highly knowledgeable professionals. HOCHTIEF Solutions in Germany draws on the expertise of over
150 employees approved under Paragraph 12b of the German Atomic Energy Act, who
come from all walks of the construction profession.
In addition, we have developed our own products for decommissioning nuclear facilities
and decontaminating surfaces. The DECON decontamination system can be used to
treat virtually any surface. It ensures a high removal rate and surface quality as well as
easy, dust-free handling. HOCHTIEF has been using this system successfully for years
to remove concrete including decontamination coating as well as to remove brickwork
and plaster. And its not just suitable for decommissioning purposes: With a special
sanding procedure, DECON is also ideal for processing large concrete surfaces. It can
be used to produce a fine finish, clean concrete efficiently with lasting results, and correct imperfections in formwork.
As part of a consortium, Leighton subsidiary Thiess delivered an enhancement and upgrade of three metropolitan
wastewater treatment plants in Perth.
