Geotechnics & Specialised Foundation Engineering

Many structures begin where they are later hardly visible: in the ground. This is precisely where geotechnics and specialised foundation engineering determine the safety, stability and even the feasibility of a project. Whether it is a tied-back diaphragm wall excavation, a cofferdam, a trough structure or a cut-and-cover tunnel – reliable ground support is what makes it possible to deliver complex construction tasks safely.

Our range of services brings together excavation support, shallow and deep foundations, retaining structures as well as the stability of slopes and terrain steps into a holistic approach that guarantees one thing above all: safety. This also includes demanding methods such as pipe jacking and microtunnelling for underground pipeline routes in challenging environments. Complementing this, we design and implement quay walls that provide stable boundary conditions in hydraulic and urban settings and offer long-term protection for structures and adjacent areas.

We assess, design and support projects from ground improvement and project-specific structural design through to specialist tunnelling consultancy. The combination of analytical precision, practical experience and a strong commitment to safety creates a solid foundation for every subsequent construction phase. In this way, one thing remains assured: a safe environment for the structure itself.
