Welcome!

We offer services in hydraulic engineering, water management and coastal engineering with many years of project experience – worldwide!

As a partner of industry, private investors and administration we solve complex problems from basic evaluation to monitoring of environmental impact.

Our competence and experience is the basis for our work.

Company Profile

References​

We are committed to the code of best practice and environmental sustainability.​

Nature & Water Resource Management​ ↦

We develop concepts for the rewetting of moors and the retention of water in the area in order to sustainably counteract the effects of climate change. This includes the construction of smaller dams, automatically movable weirs and all the necessary monitoring of water levels and groundwater levels.

Coastal Engineering & Port Engineering​ ↦

We have accompanied the major port expansions (berths 8 and 9 in Cuxhaven, north berth in Stade-Bützfleth) and new constructions (Jade-Weser Port) of recent decades with hydronumerical modelling of tidal water levels, current velocities and sedimentological investigations and observations, and created the conditions for subsequent implementation with supplementary natural measurements.

Rivers & Lakes​ ↦

We calculate the mixing processes of cooling water and substances in (tidal) rivers and lakes for complex tasks with density and temperature influences and carry out all the necessary natural measurements. Typical applications are large power station constructions in tidal areas or the management of reservoirs for drinking water production.

Environmental Monitoring ↦

Disponemos de equipos de alta calidad, como células de presión, sistemas DGPS con su propio bais y dispositivos ADCP (incluido un ROV para medir corrientes de hasta 7 m/s) para registrar niveles de agua y velocidades de flujo. También disponemos de sondas para medir la conductividad y sondas multiparamétricas para medir el nitrato, el valor pH y el potencial redox.
