I am delighted to welcome Technocon’s experts to our organisation. They bring a distinct area of expertise to our multidisciplinary organisation. Steel construction is an important factor in the buildability, prefabrication and assembly of structures. It enables our architects and engineers to design even more intelligently, offering our clients advantages in terms of both cost and programme.
Erwin Malcorps, Business Area President at Sweco bv
At Technocon, we design and build with a future-focused vision, taking account of how structures evolve over time. This aligns perfectly with Sweco’s full lifecycle perspective. We look forward to contributing to efficient structures for the diverse projects and environments designed by Sweco, guided by a sense of responsibility towards future generations.
