High Alpine construction

Comprehensive construction services in any location

Those building in the high mountains face many challenging conditions: Extreme terrain, high altitudes, changeable weather conditions – and they are usually far away from resources like concrete mixing plants and building material depots. PORR has decades of experience in mastering construction projects in alpine settings. Whether cable cars, retention ponds, ski jumps, high mountain roads, snowmaking systems, ski-slope construction or complex engineering structures – we are your powerful partner for construction projects high in the mountains.

Construction at high altitudes requires specific expertise

We are the partner of choice in extreme construction areas as we have the best local and environmental knowledge when working in protection zones. Our own weather app provides hourly information to the construction site and warns of any sudden weather events. After all, taking rapidly changing meteorological conditions into account is essential for successful project realisation in the mountains. We also have a very flexible approach that allows us to overcome any logistical challenges. Whether by helicopter, cable car or using caterpillar equipment: Our wide range of services and our specialists’ many years of experience in high alpine settings enable us to meet any challenge, no matter how complex.
