Construction technology group 3861 Strabag has merged its subsidiaries Center Communication Systems (CCS) and Strabag Anlagentechnik (SAT) to form Strabag Infrastructure & Safety Solutions.

Both companies are well-established in the traffic safety technology, tunnel equipment and communications technology sectors; CCS has developed communications systems and safety technology for emergency and rescue services, public transport, public safety and industry, while SAT has delivered end-to-end solutions in the fields of tunnel equipment and transport technology. CCS is currently working on the expansion and modernisation of the tunnel transmitter system for the Vienna underground and SAT was awarded the contract to modernise the electrical and mechanical equipment for the Oswaldiberg Tunnel on the A10 motorway in Austria.

“With the merger of our activities in traffic safety technology, tunnel equipment and communications technology, we are making better use of the strong synergies that exist between these two business fields. As a provider of complete solutions for intelligent infrastructure, we are in a position to offer an extensive range of services from a single source – from train radio, video surveillance and passenger information systems to answering point technology to traffic and tunnel technology,” say the two managing directors, Gerhard Jelinek and Werner Kribernegg

This meant all EU member states would have to meet new standards of safety in road tunnels by 30 April 2014. The Directive applied to all tunnels over

As the FCC itself points out, this would be the largest block of unlicensed spectrum to be made available for Wi-Fi in nearly te

It was a key moment when Olympic boss Jacques Rogge signed off London 2012, calling the Games “happy and glorious.” Scarred by the logistical disaster of Atlanta 1996 and the last-minute building panic for Athens 2008, Rogge clearly thought London 2012 was an object lesson in how to plan and
