Hardly any construction company in Germany is

able to look back on as long a company history

as Wayss & Freytag. Entrepreneurial spirit, far-

sightedness and visionary drive were the foun-

dations of a technological development

without which major bridges, high-rise buil-

dings and industrial buildings would not have

been realised. And yet, the success story began

relatively simply: with flower tubs and a kennel.

Three brilliant minds that changed construc-

tion: with Conrad Freytag, founder of the com-

pany, a new era in construction started. Gustav

Adolf Wayss made ground-breaking tests with

the new technology possible. Emil Mörsch esta-

blished the scientific basis for construction with

reinforced concrete. Their personalities com-

plemented one another congenially, which con-

tributed to the triumphal success of the new

construction method around the world.

Successful Trio

The visionary:Conrad Freytag(1846- 1921) reali-sed the potential ofthe new technology.His motto: „Driven to maintain excel-lence!“

The entrepreneur:Gustav Wayss(1851- 1917) carriedout the first reinfor-ced concrete con-structions inGermany with hiscompany.

The scientist: EmilMörsch (1872-1950) laid the scien-tific foundation in hisstandard work „Der Eisenbetonbau“(Concrete- SteelConstruction).

A new era

The kennel of company dogFlock was the first structure inGermany to be built usingreinforced concrete. Its pur-pose was to test the load- be-aring and weatheringbehaviour of reinforced con-crete. The kennel is now exhi-bited in “ Deutsches Museum”in Munich.

Employment contract of EmilMörsch with his signature.Conrad Freytag signed perso-nally for the company.

Already early in the company’s history the acti-

vities were not limited to the Palatinate. In

1910, the company already had twelve bran-

ches in Germany. In 1903, the first foreign

branch was established in Riga. Further registe-

red offices in Luxemburg, Strasbourg, Vienna,

Innsbruck, Rome, Milan, Trieste, Genoa, Naples,

Budapest, Messina, Sarajevo, St. Petersburg

and Buenos-Aires followed.

Internationality

1923:Odeon building inRio de Janeiro, Brazil

1909:Rohrschwefel (sulphur) ware-house, Marseille,France

Around 1925:Construction of thesewerage system inIstanbul, Turkey

Building upwards and downwards – during the

reconstruction of Germany industrial and resi-

dential buildings and a modern infrastructure

are built. Wayss & Freytag plays an active role

in the development and creates new inventions

which allow construction works at the highest

level: Slipforming and climbing construction

methods in building construction, the inremen-

tal launching method in bridge construction

and shield technology in underground con-

struction.

New Impetus

1956: Fertiliser siloof FarbwerkeHoechst AG inFrankfurt- Hoechstimmediately afterits completion

1964: Undergroundrailway constructionEschersheimer Land-straße Lot 1, Frank-furt/Main

Between 1952 and1975, 4,000 m oftower shafts as wellas 47 televisiontowers are builtusing slipformingand climbing con-struction methods.

Wayss & Freytag is now a globally active group

of companies. New business fields are added:

environmental technology, building preserva-

tion and consulting. In shield technology, EPB

shields and solid rock TBMs are used besides

hydro and mix-shields. Shield technology in

waterbearing loose soils creates new possibili-

ties for tunnel construction.

Active worldwide

1991:Caisson of theMesse (fair) pum-ping station, Cologne

1984:Metro Antwerp ME-COMA Constructionlots 1 and 2 hydro-shield drive

1983:Salah Al- Deen Al-Ayubi Expressway inBaghdad, Iraq with acontract value of 590 million DM - upto that date the big-gest contract in W&F history.

Wayss & Freytag gets a new platform: as a

group company of the Royal BAM Group, which

was established in 2002, the company realizes

outstanding engineering and tunnelling pro-

jects in Europe. Customer orientation, sustaina-

bility and cost efficiency become increasingly

important. Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau ac-

cepts this challenge. Committed and compe-

tent teams build for the world of tomorrow.

Future with BAM
