Implenia Germany & Sweden A second life for digital devices Implenia is involved in several projects aimed at reducing electronic waste. As well as helping to conserve precious resources, two examples from Sweden and Germany demonstrate that these can also have a social benefit. If you think of construction [...] construction tools, you probably think of things like hammers, trowels and saws. But these days digital tools play just as important a role on building sites. Roughly 10,000 computers, laptops and mobile devices are registered with Implenia’s central IT department. Essential though these things may be, however [...] Implenia’s country organisations in Germany and Sweden have signed up to projects that generate environmental and social benefits from decommissioned digital devices. Differing conditions in the two countries mean that different approaches are being taken. In Germany, Implenia has already been in partnership

Project Lokstadt Digitalization creates a crocodile The “Krokodil”, a timber building currently under construction by Implenia in Winterthur, is the first project to use a three-dimensional data model throughout the whole process, from the architectural competition to execution planning. Wood is one

Wood shows the way to the digital future The pilot projects that are driving the digitisation of the construction industry are often wooden buildings. This is no coincidence. The high degree of prefabrication and the possibility of combining timber constructions from standard elements offer ideal conditions [...] require a great deal of additional effort on construction sites. Ideal for automated production For Anna Gawlikowska (pictured), who as Head of Digitalization Strategy is organising Implenia's path into the data-driven future, a fundamental advantage of wood comes into play in prefabrication: the natural [...] and thus across all planning phases, for Gawlikowska this marks only the beginning of a development that will go much further. "In the future, all digital tools will be integrated into an information process. In addition to BIM, this will include, for example, human resource planning, supply chain management

In the medium term, process control on construction sites should also be completely digitalized. Furthermore, there is great potential in using digital data to s [...] successfully. How can a multinational provider of construction services benefit from digital transformation and from trends within the industry? By creating space for new ideas and solutions. Last year, Implenia invested in digital construction and BIM technologies throughout the Group, as well as in integrated [...] construction methods. An Innovation Hub was set up to reinforce the spirit of innovation within the company.
