The expansion of high-performance Internet connections is a key issue for the future in Germany. Broadband„ is the term used to describe access to the Internet with high transmission rates. It does not matter what type of connection is used to realise the data transmission. For several years now, the BUND the expansion of the broadband network in the private sector, provided the connection speed is below 30 MB/s.
Für die Prof. Burmeier Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH (BIG)- Teil von SIERA the expansion of future-proof infrastructure is a relevant topic in the context of sustainable planning and technical development. In many areas of Germany, construction work is currently underway to provide households with high-speed Internet access. In this context, the coordinated planning of infrastructure measures is becoming increasingly important. This is precisely where the construction site atlas with empty conduit register of the Broadband Centre Lower Saxony-Bremen (BZNB) comes in.
What is the Broadband Centre Lower Saxony-Bremen (BZNB)?
The Broadband Centre Lower Saxony-Bremen (BZNB) informs citizens, companies and local authorities in Lower Saxony and Bremen about broadband Internet provision.
As part of this task, the BZNB operates several atlases that provide information on broadband supply, among other things. In addition, a construction site and empty pipe register is maintained, in which municipalities can enter construction sites and empty pipes in municipal ownership.
The Lower Saxony Broadband Atlas
The Broadband Atlas of Lower Saxony maps broadband access in the state of Lower Saxony in as much detail as possible. The broadband atlas is unique in its level of detail for the German federal states.
The construction site atlas with empty pipe register supplements this Lower Saxony broadband atlas and shows synergy potential for broadband expansion.
What advantages does the construction site atlas with empty conduit register offer?
One important point is the potential for co-laying. By utilising existing empty conduit structures, expansion projects can be better coordinated and existing resources used sensibly.
Central advantages at a glance
- Supplements the Lower Saxony Broadband Atlas
- Makes synergy potentials for broadband expansion visible
- Supports the potential for co-location
- Helps municipalities to record construction sites and empty conduits in municipal property
- Promotes a more sustainable use of existing infrastructure
Sustainability and environmental protection
By using the existing empty conduit structure, unnecessary interventions in nature are minimised. This is a further contribution to a sustainable approach to our environment.
Especially in civil engineering, avoiding multiple interventions in areas and existing infrastructure is an important aspect. The Construction site atlas Lower Saxony-Bremen thus demonstrates not only infrastructural but also ecological advantages.

| Range | Beschreibung |
| Broadband supply | Information on broadband Internet coverage in Lower Saxony and Bremen |
| Broadband Atlas Lower Saxony | Detailed mapping of broadband access in the state of Lower Saxony |
| Construction site atlas | Presentation of ongoing construction sites related to broadband expansion |
| Empty pipe register | Recording of empty conduits in municipal ownership |
| Co-location | Visualisation of synergy potential for broadband expansion |
| Nachhaltigkeit | Minimisation of unnecessary interventions in nature by using existing empty conduit structures |
Classification from the perspective of BIG Hannover
Als BIG - Teil von SIERA We are in favour of this innovative project and hope that other federal states will soon follow suit.
The construction site atlas with empty pipe register is a useful addition to the Lower Saxony broadband atlas and shows how digital infrastructure, municipal planning and the sustainable use of resources can be combined.
The construction site atlas of the Broadband Centre Lower Saxony-Bremen is a useful addition to the Lower Saxony Broadband Atlas. The empty pipe register in particular creates transparency regarding existing infrastructures and shows synergy potential for broadband expansion. The potential for co-laying can help to make expansion processes more efficient and at the same time minimise unnecessary interventions in nature.
From the perspective of BIG - Teil von SIERA the project thus makes an important contribution to future-oriented and sustainable infrastructure development.
