Our Services

For us, every project begins with the comprehensive determination, analysis, and evaluation of available data, information, and overall circumstances. The comprehensive definition of an objective and the description of the working approach are essential for targeted, professional project work. A holistic and sensible project strategy and concept can only be developed once knowledge and knowledge deficits have been identified.

As part of a deficit analysis, we therefore provide valuable information before the start of field work, assessment, or monitoring on the necessary actions to bring the project to a successful conclusion.

Based on the site investigation concepts and sampling plans, the necessary field and laboratory investigations are carried out as the project progresses. Our services include not only the process steps of contaminated site investigation - from HE to OU and DU according to BBodSchG and BBodSchV - but also further investigations for example in the context of geothermal, resource deposit, or drinking water developments.

This involves carrying out and/or accompanying shallow and deep drillings, hand augering, and other exploration work as well as pedological mapping, water level measurements, hydrological investigations, and chemical analyses as well as geotechnical, physical, and nature conservation investigations. Where necessary, we also call on the services of specialists from our established network in various areas of expertise in related fields.

As part of the assessment process, all data and findings obtained in previous project phases are analyzed and put into context. Interconnected digital tools such as GIS, CAD, and our in-house database help us with the integrated assessment of complex environmental issues.

The results and findings are plausibly compiled in well-founded expert reports. We also consider it as important part of our work to present and communicate the often complex results to the various stakeholders and the public in an understandable and appropriate manner. In addition, new scientific or technical findings are regularly published as scientific papers in internationally recognized, peer-reviewed journals.

In case of a confirmed contaminated site with a tangible hazard or risk for the environment, the next step is a reclamation assessment. Firstly, preliminary reclamation objectives are defined, and possible reclamation options developed. Using a generally iterative procedure, these are analyzed and evaluated by experts regarding their impact on the reclamation objectives, technical feasibility, and effects on those affected by reclamation efforts. In the standardized procedure of the proportionality assessment (suitability, necessity, appropriateness), the large number of reclamation options is narrowed down to finally identify a preferred reclamation option in consultation with the client and the responsible authorities.

We are happy to support your planning and construction projects right from the start. Based on a well-founded basic assessment, the development of concepts, and feasibility studies, our aim is to find sustainable approaches that take economic and ecological factors into account in equal measure. We focus on identifying those indicators that are decisive for the success of the specific project in terms of implementing new solutions or transforming conventional processes and facilities into sustainable ones.

We have many years of experience in carrying out reclamation assessments, including but not limited to contaminated sites, landfills, abandoned mine sites and other environmental legacies.

Once the design scenario has been determined, the iterative development of the design planning begins together with the client based on the planning objectives identified in feasibility and conceptual studies. We coordinate all technical participants and integrate the partial results of technical experts into the planning process. The associated cost calculation and time management ensure transparency. 

The subsequent approval planning in close coordination with the project developer includes the preparation of all necessary documents and plans, which serve as the basis for the official review. In addition, active authority management and communication can be helpful to recognize relevant points with official stakeholders at an early stage. These can thus be integrated more quickly and efficiently into the planning process and brought to a favorable decision.

For your planning and construction projects, we support you in the preparation of occupational safety documents of all kinds, such as construction site regulations, health and safety plans, A+S plans, or HSE management plans.

In addition, we take on the tasks of health and safety coordinator in accordance with the Construction Site Ordinance and the coordination of work in contaminated areas in accordance with DGUV 101-004 (formerly BGR 128).

As technical consultants, planners, and experts in environmental projects, we provide technical, administrative, and procedural support for operation and maintenance of your reclamation and landfill sites or your water extraction and treatment facilities. We support you in project management as well as in the coordination of interfaces and trades.

In addition to identifying the necessary operating, maintenance, and upkeep measures as derived from legal and technical frameworks and the state-of-the-art, we are also concerned with their implementation and integration into your individual processes. We are also happy to take on tasks within the scope of environmental monitoring for your (decommissioned) landfill, contaminated site, mining or water facilities.

In the post-operation phase, we also work with you to evaluate the project objectives and (continuously) monitor the success of the operation to identify optimization potential and assess opportunities or risks in line with a quality management system approach or the PDCA cycle.

With our many years of expert experience, we are also at your disposal as consultants: Whether for due diligence in the environmental sector, in the analysis and evaluation of investment and project plans, or in the external, strategic assessment of concepts, studies, strategies, and expert reports, we can offer you an independent view and thus provide you with the basis for well-founded decisions.

In close cooperation with renowned universities and research institutions, we contribute to the development and implementation of innovative technologies and to the optimization of existing processes in the environmental sector.

Two of our current research projects are concerned with the treatment of contaminated water: Firstly, passive-biological water treatment in constructed wetlands for ecological, resource-saving treatment of mine and landfill leachates, and secondly the in-situ treatment of nitrate-contaminated (ground)water.

In a coordinating position between environmental expertise and operational (technical) operations, we would like to help you to optimize and simplify processes. The focus here is on process consulting and a holistic approach in terms of a quality management systems on the one hand and compliance with documentation obligations and the creation of organizationally and legally compliant working environments and working conditions on the other hand. The overall objective is always to integrate new requirements into the existing structures of your organization in the best possible way and to take special account of individual characteristics.

We also focus on the philosophy of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and a development towards sustainability.

In addition to advising the top management of SMEs on fundamental business decisions, we also take over the management and leadership of your company on a temporary basis as part of an interim management program. Corporate strategy and organizational development are just as central to this as controlling, finance, and investment management or the development and implementation of market and business area strategies. In the constantly changing economic and business environment of our society, we also support you in company conversions or merger and acquisition decisions.
