Project development phase in geotechnical engineering: Plan - Process - Work
Comprehensive Site Feasibility Studies
The starting point of our consulting for all geotechnical aspects of a project is the determination of fundamentals by carrying out a site analysis.
Our experts initially focus on the quality and efficiency of your project, assessing your building site regarding its design. They carry out analyses of technological and process feasibility, identify and evaluate risks and optimise the interfaces between all the tasks involved. In doing so, they pay close attention to your schedule and keep an eye on your project as a whole: In addition to project management, they support you in the preparation of qualified tender documents and advise you on offers and contracts with due diligence services. By conducting an analysis of potential or existing sites, we support you both with site selection and identifying optimisation potential for existing sites.

Proof of damage during construction according to DIN 4123 and expert witness reports
Our renowned test centres also issue expert witness reports that comprehensively describe project-specific findings or assess them in accordance with the respective task requirements, for example to determine damage. Your advantage: by inspecting objects before work commences and after completion of the construction project, or in the event of apparent damage, we can distinguish damage incurred during a project from existing damage.
In this procedure, we gather as much information as we can regarding the condition of buildings within the sphere of influence of the construction project. Our experts record and document their findings and the evidence in a report. This applies to industrial and residential buildings, other engineering structures and traffic routes. This gathering and documentation of evidence during construction serves to protect affected parties as well as the building company.
Our special field: Mining construction projects
Our company tradition lies in the field of mining. As an advisory and appraising authority, we have been accompanying construction projects carried out within the framework of abandoned mining and post mining for several decades – for both real estate construction and infrastructure projects.
Our specialists make well-founded assessments considering all geotechnical and mining aspects as well as the planned subsequent use. We will be happy to advise you and offer recommendations in the following areas:
- Soil investigation and evaluation of building sites
- Stability assessments and expert reports
- Dismantling of plants and facilities
- Remediation of contaminated sites
- Land recycling
- Shaft stabilisation and protection
- Withdrawal and closure concepts
- Backfilling of underground cavities
- Foundation engineering
