Award winner 2025 | Category: Climate protection
ROTHO ProCarbonCure
Robert Thomas GmbH & Co KG
With the ProCarbonCure process, large quantities of CO2 can be stored in products made from concrete or steel slag. The process has now been successfully implemented on an industrial scale and has recently been nominated for the BAUMA Innovation Award 2025. The ROTHO ProCarbonCure technology gives concrete products a significantly lower carbon footprint by storing CO2 sustainably and permanently.

Tunnel Enlargement System
Herrenknecht AG
The Tunnel Enlargement System (TES) developed by Herrenknecht in collaboration with PORR enables the safe renewal and widening of old rail tunnels while rail operations continue. The system simultaneously serves as a carrier for excavation and safety work as well as a protective enclosure for rail traffic. TES has been nominated for the 2025 bauma Innovation Award in the “Mechanical Engineering” category.

New composite bridge construction method
Adam Hörnig Baugesellschaft mbH & Co KG
For the second steel composite superstructure of the Thulba viaduct, Adam Hörnig Baugesellschaft mbH & Co. KG (AHA) opted for a new construction method: the carriageway slab will be constructed using PERI's VCT Cantilever Track system in in-situ concrete. By using the formwork solution travelling underneath the superstructure, AHA is able to construct the carriageway slab without penetrations. In addition, the contractor has the free access from above to reduce cycle times and complete the superstructure more quickly.

MAXX - Mobile Assembly X-System
Center Construction Robotics (RWTH)
The rate of energy-efficient refurbishment in Europe currently amounts to just 1% of the existing building stock each year. Yet, this sector is responsible for 48% of society's total energy consumption and 35% of CO2 emissions. In the context of the European Green Deal 2050, MAXX – Mobile Assembly X-System provides a first plug & produce solution for (semi-) automated, scaffold-free assembly in building refurbishment. This patented robotic cable platform is adaptive and universally deployable in existing buildings—without extensive data collection or permanent human control.
