Construction coordination taken to the next level

IG-control is your reliable partner for accident-free construction projects.

We provide expert consulting and tailored safety solutions for construction site coordination as regulated by the Austrian law: Bauarbeitenkoordinationsgesetz (BauKG).

Our recipe for success is our own employees and the experience gained from over 1,000 construction sites.

Construction safety for the metro construction project

Matzleinsdorfer Platz junction
Underground construction U2/section 18

The ground-breaking ceremony south of Triester Straße took place in autum 2018, as the new U5 is set to be Vienna’s first fully automatic subway line between Karlsplatz and Frankhplatz from 2025. Construction of the new U2 line to Matzleinsdorfer Platz will be completed in 2027.

The substrate sets the tone:

Different construction methods are being used for the construction of the U2 extension and the new U5, depending on the local conditions and the nature of the subsoil: the Mole tunnel boring machine is largely being used for the line tunnels, while the new Austrian tunnel construction method is being used everywhere for the station tunnels.

IG-control supports clients and construction companies alike in implementing the prescribed safety measures directly on site.

The safety of construction workers is our top priority.

Our independent on-site construction site coordinator provides training for employees and monitors the safety measures and working conditions applied. He ensures the correct implementation of employee protection. He provides inspection reports and submits them at short notice.

Employee protection is regulated in the Bauarbeiterschutzverordnung (Construction Workers Protection Ordinance). IG-control implements the measures required by the labor inspectorate and the site client in a sustainable manner and checks the protection regulations with trained employees on site.
