Soil and Water Protection
The core competencies of our soil and water protection experts are investigations, water and wastewater management, soil and erosion protection and modeling.

The natural systems soil and water are investigated, for example, by:
|
Our soil and erosion protection department offers the following services:
- Mapping
- Soundings
- The registration of soil profiles
- Field tests
- Area-wide soil type or texture maps using GIS applications
- Simulation calculations using a numeric erosion model
We have many years of experience with the legislation involved in water and wastewater management. Our main fields of activity are:
- The development of water resources
- The design of optimized regeneration processes
- Counseling on water supply (e.g. industrial water problems)
- The preparation of hydrogeological expert reports
- Wastewater disposal (including alternative precipitation management measures, decentralized percolation systems)
- Hydrologic design and calculations
- Precipitation / runoff modeling for flood predictions and the delimitation of flooding areas
- The design for systems for the exploitation of regenerative energy sources
Modeling is often the only way of evaluating the data gained due to the immense volume of data and the complexity of the conditions. Our office is specialized in:
- The analysis of spatial, statistical distribution patterns of measuring data (geostatistics)
- The calculation of all types of runoff formation, runoff concentration and runoff characteristics
- Precipitation / runoff modeling
- The simulation of percolation and infiltration processes of water and contaminants into the subsurface
- Numeric groundwater models
