HOCHTIEF to expand Vienna metro network

EUR 242 million project has started

HOCHTIEF will expand Vienna's metro in the next few years. Public transport operator Wiener Linien has commissioned HOCHTIEF Infrastructure Austria- together with Swietelsky and HABAU Hoch und Tiefbau-to realize two construction lots for the U2 and U5 lines. The three companies are equal partners in the joint venture. The contract volume amounts to around

EUR 242 million, of which HOCHTIEF has a share of approximately

EUR 80 million. The preparatory works have started and construction will probably take six years.

Vienna's metro is the backbone of mobility in the Austrian capital. Its expansion is a key project for the city's infrastructure. HOCHTIEF currently is centrally involved in the expansion of inner-city metro and suburban railway networks in many metropolises around the world, for example in Munich, Stuttgart, Prague, Copenhagen and Sydney.

HOCHTIEF is an engineering-led global infrastructure group with leading positions across its core activities of construction, services and concessions/public-private partnerships (PPP) focused on Australia, North America and Europe. With around 53,000 employees and a sales volume of about EUR 26 billion in 2019, HOCHTIEF's global presence is focused on developed markets. Via CIMIC, the Group is market leader in Australia. In the USA, HOCHTIEF is the No. 1 general builder via Turner. Flatiron ranks among the most important players in the field of civil works, mainly in transportation infrastructure. HOCHTIEF owns a 20% stake in Abertis, the leading international toll road operator. Thanks to its commitment to sustainability, HOCHTIEF has been listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes since 2006. Further information is available at https://www.hochtief.com/en/news-media
