Building constructionThe construction industry is responsible for more than just the erection of walls and roofs; it shapes the living spaces of our society. In the context of any project, it is essential to consider the specific requirements and demands of the project. Whether we are discussing a modern residential neighbourhood with energy-efficient apartment buildings, a functional office complex with flexible working environments, or a new school building that supports educational concepts, each project demands solutions that are functional, economical, and sustainable.

Civil EngineeringUnderground systems form a vital part of our infrastructure. They provides the invisible backbone that supports our roads, bridges, tunnels and utility lines. In addition to precision, the focus is on resilience, durability and absolute reliability. Salzgitter AG is a company that specialises in high-quality steel products and individually tailored solutions for sustainable underground infrastructure projects.

Industrial constructionIn industrial construction, every detail is of paramount importance. The load-bearing capacity, efficiency, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of a project are crucial factors when building production facilities, logistics centres, or energy plants. This is not merely about physical structures; it is about creating functional spaces that support industrial processes, facilitate growth, and influence future development. Salzgitter AG is committed to delivering excellence and efficiency in every aspect of industrial construction projects, ensuring their successful execution.

InfrastructureInfrastructure is the stable network that connects everything, and it emerges wherever people move, goods flow and cities grow. Infrastructure is pivotal for facilitating mobility, supply chains, communication, and economic growth. The planning and implementation of this project place the highest demands on materials and construction. It is therefore essential that solutions are found that can withstand stress, time and changing environmental conditions over the long term. Salzgitter AG is able to meet these complex requirements by offering a comprehensive product portfolio and a range of services.
Construction segment
Specialized Civil EngineeringComplex construction is required when standard solutions are not sufficient. In the field of construction, projects often demand a high level of precision and specialisation, particularly in the context of complex structures, special constructions, and highly specialised building components. The requirements for these projects are often highly individualised, the loads are often extreme, and the tolerances are minimal. The focus is on engineering precision and the targeted coordination of structural calculations, function, and materials technology expertise.
In this environment, it is not only the quality of the material that is important, but also an understanding of the design challenges. Salzgitter AG is a trusted supplier of both high-performance steel products and customised solutions, tailored to meet the precise needs of the civil engineering sector. The result is a range of solutions that not only support but also impress in terms of functionality, economy and durability.
Construction segment
Specialized ConstructionWhen standard solutions are no longer viable, special construction becomes essential. In situations involving unusual geometries, extreme load scenarios or special operating conditions, it is essential to implement individual concepts that combine technical precision with creative freedom. Special construction projects are distinguished by their unique nature. The materials required for this project must meet the highest standards and be capable of flexible adaptation to complex conditions.
Salzgitter AG is well-placed to meet these challenges, thanks to its versatile product portfolio and extensive expertise - especially for the structures that are built outside the norm, yet still offer maximum safety and functionality.

Platform Extension in Bern
The platform extension at the Bern station of the future is a major infrastructure project that will make the station fit for increasing passenger numbers. A key constituent of the extension is the steel construction, involving the use of beams from Peiner Träger GmbH. hey provide the necessary structural strength and stability to safely support the extended platforms. Thanks to the precise workmanship, they enable efficient construction that can withstand both static and dynamic loads.
GLP Europe
The real estate company GLP Europe, which operates in Europe, is clearly focusing on reducing CO2-emissions and thus improving the overall balance of its buildings when expanding its portfolio.
For the new construction of a logistics hall in Lelystad in the Netherlands, this was achieved with the help of beams made of SALCOS® structural steel. The steel construction company IQstaal B.V. created an impressive steel structure covering around 38,000 square meters, which not only meets the high quality standards but also the requirements for a future-oriented and resource-saving construction method.
„Rio–Andirrío" Bridge
This suspension bridge was named after former Greek Prime Minister Harilaos Trikoupis. It connects the western Greek mainland at Patras with the Peloponnese peninsula. The bridge measures 2,880 metres in length, making it one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world. Instead of the previous 40-minute ferry transfer time, the crossing takes just five minutes. The structure's location has been specifically chosen to ensure it can withstand earthquakes measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale.
Approximately 9.000 tons of sheet metal from Ilsenburg were utilised in the construction of the suspension bridge.
New SC Freiburg Stadium
To realise the facade construction that dominates the design, Mannesmann Line Pipe supplied around 530 tons of HFI-welded steel pipes. These play an important role in structural stability and are certainly the decisive design element in the external appearance of the new stadium. "The key factor in our success was our unbeatable lengths of 18 meters, which eliminate the need to cut the visually dominant facade supports," says Thomas Reinhardt, who oversaw the project on behalf of Mannesmann Line Pipe in collaboration with Bernd Hollaender from the pipe dealer ProPipe in Willich. The pipes, manufactured in S355J2H steel grade, were produced in dimensions of 406.4 × 20.0 mm in 18-metre lengths and 406.4 × 25.0 mm in 10.7-metre lengths, in accordance with the manufacturing standard EN 10210. Delivery of the items was completed to Stahl- und Anlagenbau Schädlich GmbH in Stützengrün as requested.
Exhibition hall in Nuremberg
The exhibition hall in Nuremberg is characterized by its sophisticated steel construction, which allows a spacious and open room design. The beams from Peiner Träger GmbH form the structural backbone of the hall and ensure optimum load distribution, so that wide-span, column-free areas could be realized.
By using our high-quality steel profiles, it was possible to create a modern, functional architecture that meets the requirements of flexible trade fair events.
Das Green Steel Home
The Green Steel Home is an innovative living concept that combines sustainability and modern construction methods. It is based on a self-supporting steel construction that allows maximum flexibility in interior design.
The use of SALCOS® Structural Steel significantly reduces the building's carbon footprint. The combination of steel and prefabricated external panels enables a fast and efficient construction method that is both environmental friendly and economical. The concept also offers high energy efficiency, due to the integration of modern insulation materials and sustainable heating systems.

CopenHill
The Amager Bakke waste incineration plant, also known as CopenHill, is an imposing building in Copenhagen. In addition to its function as an energy-efficient waste recycling plant, which converts 400,000 tons of waste into electricity and district heating every year, it has a unique ski slope on its roof.The construction is made of a stable steel structure in which beams from Peiner Träger GmbH plays a key role. Our beams provide the necessary structural stability and strength to support the ski slope and the world's highest artificial climbing wall with a height of 85 meters.
