Two FCC Projects Win Solid Bautech 2012 Awards

Beska Bridge over the Danube and Salzburg's new multi-purpose hall, both built by Alpine, have been graced with the awards given by construction journal Solid, after competing in the International and pectacular Construction categories, respectively.
In the fifth Solid Bautech awards, Alpine, FCC Construcción's Austrian subsidiary, has taken home two awards, one in the International category for Beska Bridge over the Danube in Serbia, and one in the Spectacular Construction category for the new Salzburg multi-purpose hall.
Beska Bridge, between the cities of Novi Sad and Belgrade, is part of motorway E75, which belongs to Pan-European Corridor X. It is known as "the twin bridge", since it was built parallel to an already existing bridge and looks identical. At 2,213 metres long, Beska is the longest bridge in Serbia.
Salzburg multi-purpose centre has a total area of 15,300 m2, and it was conceived as a multi-function venue where trade fairs, exhibits and a wide variety of events can be held. It has been built under sustainability-sensitive criteria that enable up to 45,000 euros per year to be saved in energy, the equivalent of 75,000 litres of oil a year. In addition, it has been built on top of an existing construction, and six halls of the old building can be re-used.
These awards, which have become the most important showcase of the Austrian construction industry's development, once more highlight the great potential, creativity and innovation of the FCC Group company Alpine in the building sector.
