Internationally recognised expertise in small civil engineering projects - HBM SMART wins innovation award

When it comes to the dynamic implementation of more compact civil engineering projects, fast and highly efficient execution and closer contact with the client are key. The HBM SMART (Small, Agile, Rapid Team) division offers an innovative solution.

Our newspaper last reported on HBM, a unit specialising in smaller-scale projects that plays a key role in the domestic civil engineering sector, at the beginning of the year wrote about it in our magazine at the beginning of the year, when business unit manager Diána Liskány presented the SMART in detail.

HBM recently announced on its Facebook page that they had won the special prize in the Soletanche Freyssinet Innovation Awards competition in the Central European, Middle Eastern and African subsidiary zone for the SMART business model.

With the creation of this division, HBM can now mobilise its international market-leading experience and expertise to deliver civil engineering projects with shorter lead times, often as short as 2-3 days.

The HBM has identified a niche market for which the SMART has proven to be the perfect solution, with over 30 customers already served.

As we previously reported – among other things, in connection with the investment in the cement factory in Királyegyháza – the SMART performs exceptionally well in the industrial sector. The service is particularly ideal for solving the civil engineering challenges of individual projects, especially for clients and general contractors who do not want to compromise on quality or the use of state-of-the-art and sustainable technologies, despite short deadlines. Examples include pile driving without excavated soil and the use of ultra-low carbon concrete. The SMART service therefore represents an innovation in civil engineering that shows promising directions for more efficient management of smaller-scale projects in the future.
