Unique and iconic elements of the 65-floorgreen-skyscraper include
wraparound terraces and hanging gardens. HOCHTIEF supports the trend
toward making the industry more sustainable.
The Group is working with leading suppliers and subcontractors to significantly
improve the environmental footprint of the machinery and materials used.
HOCHTIEF anticipates major further progress to be made by, for example, using
hydrogen for steel and concrete production as well as the use of electrically
powered construction machinery that runs on green electricity.
A key tool for implementing the sustainability strategy is digitalization. Nexplore,
the innovation company founded by HOCHTIEF in 2018, is working on
numerous solutions to make the construction process more sustainable with the
help of blockchain, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. In collaboration
with leading technology companies and universities, including the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and the University of Darmstadt, Nexplore has launched
an initial series of hardware and software applications. These are already in use
on construction sites in the US, Europe, Hong Kong and Australia. Among other
things, they make it possible to monitor construction progress on major projects
in real time, continuously track work quality, improve saftey, identify potential
savings with machines and analyze complex contracts. During the first quarter of
2021, Nexplore has already launched a software tool, based on Internet of
Things, that measures and monitors, in real time, the energy consumption at job
sites. Another application under development, based on Blockchain technology,
will allow to trace the life cycle of concrete from production to site delivery
enabling the reduction of CO2 emissions.
Nexplore recently joined the MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium. It
gathers an alliance of leading companies from a wide range of industries such as

Apple, IBM, Boeing, Dow or PepsiCo and aims to significantly accelerate the real-world implementation of solutions to address the threat of climate change.

CEO Fernandez Verdes: "Our twin transition drive in digitalization and sustainability is for the benefit of the people on our projects, the environment, our customers and all other stakeholders and will enable us to further strengthen HOCHTIEF's leading market positions".
