From Manual Work to High-Tech: Process Optimization in Civil Engineering

SPANGLER – the Plus in Efficiency Gains.

In the dynamic world of civil engineering, we’ve set new standards with our latest project for Implenia, a company specializing in foundation engineering. Our custom solutions have significantly improved on-site efficiency while also demonstrating our ability to precisely meet our customers’ needs.

Mobile, Innovative Solutions in Use Across Europe

The key challenge was to design a mobile system that can be easily adapted to various construction sites throughout Europe. The core of this innovation are 30 frequency-controlled pumps integrated into a specially adapted sea container. This system enables processes that were previously carried out manually to now be executed fully automatically and much faster.

Efficient Ground Stabilization in Foundation Engineering

The system is used in specialized foundation engineering work to create a stable base by forming a sealing layer directly in the ground. By injecting a special material into the pore space, water permeability is almost entirely reduced, allowing the construction of buildings with basements – such as school buildings – even in groundwater areas.

A Quantum Leap in Process Optimization

Implenia has successfully transitioned from manual to automated control systems – with significantly accelerated workflows as a result. The fully automated control and documentation of each step is a first, made possible by our software and hardware solutions.

Technical Sophistication and Customized Software Development

The control concept developed by Spangler includes not only the hardware components but also tailor-made software that integrates handheld scanners and barcodes for clear identification and documentation of work processes. This solution provides seamless documentation that is transmitted directly from the construction field to the central system.

Forward-Thinking Concepts with Wi-Fi and Mobile Applications

Special attention was paid to optimized Wi-Fi coverage, ensuring seamless network access across the entire construction field. In addition, an Android app was developed, allowing technicians to work mobile and efficiently—completely independent of stationary systems.

Continuous Optimization

Through the successful implementation of this project, we are laying the foundation for ongoing optimization and flexible adaptation to future requirements. Our role as a full-service provider for both hardware and software enables us to respond flexibly to our customers’ needs and consistently deliver tailored solutions.
