Dear clients, customers and business partners,

HOCHTIEF Engineering would like to present itself to you, both as a trusted design and
engineering company in its current form, and with regards to its consistent focus on the design
and construction issues of the future.

We are certain that, as a partner, we can offer our customers a comprehensive range of
products and services, from traditional design, engineering and consulting services to
pioneering new products and ways of working.

Our collaboration is characterized by solid standards and innovative technologies and

solutions, by advanced building information management applications in design and project
management, and by sophisticated methods and efficient instruments for value engineering.

In this way, we offer you particular and future-proof added value grounded in classical design
skills. In the following, we would like to illustrate and enumerate how and why.

As the General Manager of HOCHTIEF Engineering GmbH and its associated holdings, I know
your interest in excellent engineering work and trust in your faith in our solid expertise, broad
experience and innovative ideas.

Yours

Dr. Hansgeorg Balthaus, General Manager
