SOLlD 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 So-
lid, after competing in the International and
Spectacular Construction categories, res-
pectively.
In the fifth Solid Bautech awards, Alpine,
FCC Construcción’s Austrian subsidiary,
has taken home two awards, one in the In-
ternational category for Beska Bridge over
the Danube in Serbia, and one in the Spec-
tacular 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.
With 15,300 m
2
of floor space, the Salzburg
multi-purpose was conceived as a multi-
function venue for trade fairs, exhibits and a
wide variety of events. It was built based on
sustainability-sensitive criteria that enable
up to 45,000 Euro 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.
