Waagner-Biro Group overview

References

In the course of their 150 year history, the companies of the Waagner-Biro Group have carried out many projects which received great acclaim also far beyond professional circles and are important references for new orders.

In this way, for example, many projects of the steel and glass engineering division have in the meantime become internationally renowned landmarks. From the Palmery of the Vienna Burggarten to the cupola of the Reichstags Building in Berlin, from the roofing of the Queen Elizabeth II. Great Court at the British Museum in London to the Yas Island Marina Hotel in Abu Dhabi, Waagner-Biro’s engineers have always, since the very founding of the company, been known for professional realization of innovative and complex ideas of renowned architects.

With its modular panel bridges, the bridge construction division has in the last years strategically opened up interesting new markets. Following numerous projects in Asia, the recent breakthrough on the African continent was a particular highlight. Besides Ethiopia, the successful completion of earlier projects in 2007 and 2008 was followed by another 27 panel bridges for Angola. Several big projects concerning the successful bridge system were also carried out in Indonesia, Colombia, Thailand, Morocco and Austria. The bridge construction division also carried out interesting orders in the relatively new business field developed from movable bridges – movable roofs (e.g. for the „Agora” event centre in Valencia).

Numerous reference projects for the world’s most important stages, e.g. the opera house of the Seoul Arts Centre, the Guangzhou Opera House or the Qatar Education City Convention Centre as well as ongoing product innovations gave the Waagner-Biro Group’s stage engineering division its high international reputation. Exciting projects were carried out by this division also in the field of intelligent building engineering (e.g. the telescopic stands of the Arena Zagreb).
