Ed. Zueblin AG and Gilbane Building Co. have agreed to a joint venture arrangement, known as Zueblin Gilbane, to pursue and execute suitable projects in Europe. Zueblin Gilbane will focus on construction projects that take advantage of the combined resources and capabilities of the firms, with a clear objective of delivering enhanced value to mutual clients.
“Having recently completed several major projects with the U.S. military in Europe, Zueblin brings the right mix of expertise and area knowledge to complement Gilbane’s extensive federal and healthcare capabilities,” said Jeff Schramm, Gilbane senior vice president and director of federal sector. “We’re excited to expand this partnership and develop mutually beneficial opportunities for Zueblin Gilbane and European clients.”
The partnership brings together significant healthcare experience as well as established success working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Gilbane recently completed the Fort Belvoir Community Hospital and Zueblin has worked successfully for the USACE and the U.S. military on a number of facilities in Germany. Zueblin is currently collaborating as principal subcontractor to ITSI Gilbane, a Gilbane subsidiary, on the U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) Headquarters Building 201 at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, providing the opportunity for the two firms to build on an already effective and established working relationship.
The firms are also exchanging technical knowledge and information on building systems including Building Information Modeling (BIM) and exploring the exchange of selected project and technical staff.
