Salzburg, 3. December 2019

After the successful events in Austria (Vienna) and China (Beijing), this year's Engineering Days took place on the 26th and 27th of November 2019 in the CongressHaus Salzburg. More than 500 precast concrete experts from 22 countries had the chance to inform themselves about the latest trends in the industry.  

Digitisation for the benefit of the precast concrete industry

The focus of this year's Engineering Days was "Digitization as a benefit for the precast concrete industry". The program included 22 compact lectures, 19 workshops and plenty of time for networking and expert talk. All lectures were translated simultaneously into English, Russian and Mandarin.

Precast concrete companies present their solutions 

In terms of content, the spectrum ranged from tangible subjects such as the dimensioning of sandwich walls, to innovative 3D printed formwork systems, to more visionary topics such as Artificial Intelligence. At the exhibition area, 40 of the leading precast concrete companies presented their solutions. The list of exhibitors included companies in the areas of plant construction, automation technology, CAD and ERP systems as well as ancillary trades.

Supporting programme in a class of its own

The catering was delivered by the neighboring 5 star hotel Sheraton Grand Salzburg. The Viennese cabaret group maschek as well as the musicians and Austrian Show Award winners of Rondo Vienna provided evening entertainment. For the gala dinner, the Hotel Imlauer Pitter served an excellent multi-course meal.
