With a view to further strengthening the company’s competitiveness, ZT also carries out specialised and interdisciplinary research, development, and innovation tasks. Other important responsibilities assumed by ZT are the protection of patents and the maintenance and refinement of tools for design and construction.
ZT with its personnel of about 650 is based in Stuttgart. It has 7 other locations in Germany and 10 locations in Europe and also provides local support to a multitude of construction sites. ZT is an attractive place for young engineers to start their careers. Here, they can gain insights into the entire range of our business fields and activities with the goal to later assume responsibilities at one of our construction sites. The wide variety of internal training courses available for the individual disciplines is very popular among our employees.
Building Information Model (BIM) 5D is a highly sophisticated project control method which allows STRABAG to simulate and manage a project ‘model’ in ‘real time’. The BIM 5D process and techniques allow the entire turnkey construction delivery team – clients, engineers, architects, operators, main contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers and materials suppliers - to share and understand a single ‘real-time’ view of the entire project. This BIM 5D approach is also dedicated to enabling the construction delivery team to explore options and manage solutions as never before due to the accurate interface of design, programme and engineering costs. At the Technical Head Office of the STRABAG Group, innovative tools to help realise effective and transparent cooperation are tested and implemented in the 5D Design department.
