In future, road users in Neumarkt should pay particular attention to Max Bögl heavy goods vehicles on wheels. In a pilot project, the extra-wide cars will be accompanied by newly developed vehicles.

Nutrient power for "depleted" soils. For optimal plant growth, high fertility and reliable yields, it is essential to supply the soil and plants with sufficient amounts of natural lime.

Avoid planning errors, reduce calculation risks.

Foresighted planning and sustainable construction - goals that Max Bögl supports with Building Information Modeling (BIM). The department has made it its task to support the project teams in the application of BIM right from the start. BIM has been developed and applied at Max Bögl for over a decade. After many years of experience, many applications are already established. Under the leadership of Alexander Kropp, a team of seven experienced BIM experts accompanies the application of BIM processes from acquisition to execution. The goal for 2016 is to support the individual departments within the group to such an extent that BIM methods become routine - especially in the areas of work preparation, deadline controlling and quality assurance.

Time saved, quality assured.

In Germany Max Bögl is one of the pioneers in the field of Building Information Modeling (BIM). Already more than 15 years ago, the introduction of BIM in the company was started - with the clear requirement to achieve the greatest possible benefit for the customer at every step within the construction process. In the course of the application and further development of BIM, the group of companies is consistently expanding the use of this intelligent and holistic solution.

And it has made boom …

It is exactly 10.30 a.m. on the first Monday in July when the urgent warning sound from the compressed air horn echoes away. Franz Wild gives the signal for the blasting.

Heavy transports without police escort

Bavaria's Interior and Transport Minister Joachim Herrmann informed himself about a pilot project at the Max Bögl Group. The aim of the pilot test is to determine whether in future it will be possible to safely transport heavy loads to their destination with newly developed vehicles even without police escort.

New mixing plant makes asphalt greener.

It is over 40 metres high, relies on leading recycling technology and forms the backbone of numerous road construction sites in the Nuremberg region: the new asphalt mixing plant with hot gas generator at the Sengenthal headquarters. By investing in green and efficient state-of-the-art technology, Max Bögl is setting new standards in terms of innovation, sustainability and environmental protection.

With the company-railway men on track.

Trains have been rolling in Sengenthal since 1992. Over the years, the railway siding has established itself as a second important transport pillar alongside the company's own truck fleet in terms of sustainability and environmental protection. The V60 608 works locomotive and, more recently, the new V76 055 sister locomotive are used for shunting wagons loaded with segments, steel components, sleepers, raw materials or Tchibo containers. But nothing runs on the tracks without the locomotive shunting drivers. They ensure that materials and goods roll smoothly.

A prefabricated church becomes the new centre.

Some believers spoke of a "bunker of God", others even of a "soul silo". Although the Filialkirche St. Elisabeth is a young and modern church, its cubic architecture of concrete, steel and glass already caused a stir in Sengenthal at that time. But even 50 years after its construction, the church is still one of the outstanding buildings in the Neumarkt region.

Filigree flying artists on the construction site.

They capture entire construction sites from the air or measure precise excavations and terrain profiles: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly being used in the construction industry. Equipped with GPS control and ultra-modern camera systems, they open up new perspectives at Max Bögl for the support of integrated project management.
