FACHTAGUNG ABBRUCH 2026
Diversity you have to experience
Demolition is not demolition. Every project comes with its own set of conditions: sometimes sensitive neighbours dictate the method, sometimes it’s ongoing operations, traffic, hazardous substances or tight time windows – and increasingly also requirements stemming from the circular economy, CO₂ performance and documentation. This is exactly what makes the industry so exciting. And it is precisely this diversity that is reflected in the programme of FACHTAGUNG ABBRUCH 2026: 12 presentations showcasing the breadth of the field – from future trends and major projects to specialist dismantling, blasting technology, occupational safety and AI.
In addition, 125 exhibitors will be welcoming conference visitors across more than 1,200 m², presenting the very latest products and solutions.
On 13 March 2026, the industry will meet at STATION-Berlin – for exchange, fresh impulses and solutions that work in practice.
Companies in 2035 – shifting values in leadership and working worlds
How will the construction and dismantling world change by 2035? In his talk, renowned futurologist Sven Gábor Jánszky looks ahead: what role will ESG, data, new working environments and technology play – and why is dismantling becoming strategically ever more important?
Challenges in the selective dismantling of a 1.3 million m³ production building while production continues
Selective dismantling right in the middle of a plant – while production continues next door: this session focuses on emissions control, logistics, coordination during ongoing operations, and how precise planning becomes the prerequisite for speed and safety.
Remediation and disposal during the dismantling of the former Biblis nuclear power plant
A demanding practical report on remediation and disposal processes under special conditions: which regulations apply, how coordination with authorities works – and how procedures, measurement concepts and analysis are implemented safely.
Cooling tower dismantling: precision with a cable excavator under extreme conditions
When blasting is not an option, precision comes into play: this presentation shows how a tall cooling tower is dismantled in a controlled, sectional manner under tight site conditions – including methodology, equipment deployment and material recirculation.
Know what’s inside! AI-based analysis of mineral construction waste
No reliable quality data, no circular economy: this talk explores how AI and sensor technology can help capture mineral material streams cleanly, detect contaminants and improve documentation and quality assurance.
Selected examples of structural blasting
Blasting technology from real-world practice: using specific projects, the speakers will show which methods make sense when – and how protection and measurement concepts, planning depth and communication with the surroundings determine success.
Making money with circular dismantling – a cooperation with purpose
Circular dismantling can be economically attractive – if reuse is considered early on. The presentation shows where revenue potential lies, which components are particularly relevant, and why cooperation and logistics are key.
Asbestos in building dismantling – requirements for contractors and those carrying out the work
What do current requirements mean in practice? The focus is on duties, qualifications and work procedures – and, above all, on how to effectively prevent fibre release and fibre carry-over.
Mönchhof Triangle interchange: dismantling while the motorway remains open
Dismantling with traffic flowing: this lecture highlights how construction sequences, safety concepts and precision technology interlock to carry out work efficiently and safely at a heavily used transport junction.
The world’s first fully electric building dismantling project
What does a dismantling site look like when machines, logistics and processes are electrified? The talk covers power infrastructure, scheduling with charging windows – and where electric solutions already offer real advantages today.
Occupational safety – modern and innovative, with a practical lens and a wink
Safety that works in everyday practice: the speakers show how communication, leadership and simple routines ensure that safety isn’t just documented, but truly lived – without unnecessary bureaucracy.
AI-supported analysis processes – new approaches to classifying mineral waste on site
Classification determines disposal routes, costs and liability – and is increasingly complex in terms of regulations. This session looks at AI as an assistant system that reads test reports, classifies materials and documents decisions in a transparent, traceable way.
