    Advanced elevator solutions speed up the construction process

    Austrian Real Estate is building a modern urban quarter in Vienna’s Donaustadt district. Part of the VIENNA TWENTYTWO project is a 47-storey high-rise building, which is due to be completed by 2025. The Austrian real estate company is relying on KONE from Wangen-Brüttisellen to keep to the schedule.

    Specifically, two JumpLifts from KONE are helping to speed up the construction process, the global elevator and escalator manufacturer explains in a press release. “The construction elevator, which was specially developed for high-rise buildings, uses the shaft before construction is complete,” KONE project manager Joachim Hahn is quoted as saying. “Thanks to the temporary installation of platforms in the open shaft, the KONE JumpLift can be moved to higher floors at regular intervals as construction progresses.” Compared to other outdoor elevators used in construction, the JumpLift is characterized by higher performance and safety as well as comfort and independence from the weather, writes KONE.

    In Vienna, one of the two JumpLifts is also controlled via the KONE SideFlow app, KONE explains. This allows specific usage rights to be assigned to various construction tasks in order to control the flow of materials and people. “This allows us to further accelerate the construction process,” explains Hahn.

    Once the construction work is complete, the two JumpLifts will be converted into KONE MonoSpace elevators. In addition, a further twelve KONE MonoSpace and TranSys elevators are to be installed in the high-rise building.

    Start-up smino takes over Viennese Bimspot

    The start-up smino based in Jona takes over the software manufacturer Bimspot based in Vienna. According to a press release , smino wants to become the standard solution for project management and collaboration in the construction industry in the DACH region.

    The start-up from the St.GallenBodenseeArea offers a digital platform for planning and construction projects in Switzerland. 8,000 companies are already using the smino application, which acts as a data hub for construction projects.

    Bimspot's technology, with which building information from models for digital construction planning (Building Information Modeling/BIM) is brought together, structured and automatically checked for errors and completeness, is to be integrated into the smino platform after the takeover.

    This is intended to expand the range of functions for users in the area of BIM process handling. The Bimspot employees should complement the smino team. From a new location in Vienna, the BIM experts and software developers will promote the further development of the technology and its sale.

    “With this acquisition, we will take over the market leadership in the field of BIM. I am firmly convinced that our two offers complement each other ideally and that we can offer customers further real added value," says Silvio Bee, co-founder and managing partner of smino AG, as quoted in the media release.
