DE Renovation of the Karlsfeld three-field hall - preserving the building fabric means sustainability
The three-court sports hall in Karlsfeld, which was built in the 1970s, is being extensively refurbished. At the start of the project, the costs between a new build and the refurbishment were extensively analysed and compared together with our consortium partner Studio Corso. The result of the comparison was a cost saving and a significantly shorter construction time compared to a new building. The building envelope and [...]
New Emscher estuary in Dinslaken
The Emschergenossenschaft began the initial planning and construction work to renaturalise the Emscher system 30 years ago. As part of this renaturalisation, a redesign or relocation of the Emscher estuary into the Rhine at Dinslaken is also planned. The old technical estuary structure made of reinforced concrete is to be replaced by a naturally designed inlet around 500 metres further north. For this [...]
Flood protection in Stadtlohn
The Berkel, a tributary of the IJssel, flows through the urban area of Stadtlohn for around 9 kilometres. Floods in the Berkel frequently cause flooding in residential areas in the urban area. To improve flood protection and implement measures in accordance with the EU Water Framework Directive, the town of Stadtlohn has therefore had a flood protection concept drawn up, which is currently being implemented [...].
Vibration measurements and forecasts
During construction work, in particular compaction, pile driving and vibration work in civil engineering as well as demolition and dismantling work, the vibrations generated by construction equipment or falling building parts can be transmitted to neighbouring buildings and can cause considerable damage. Vibration measurement during construction can be used to continuously monitor the vibration-related influences and subsequently minimise the effects and risks to people and building structures or [...].
Commissioning ceremony for the DB Oldenburg - Wilhelmshaven upgraded line
Under the slogan: "140 kilometres of climate protection by rail: the Oldenburg-Wilhelmshaven line electrified", the complete electrical commissioning of the DB Oldenburg - Wilhelmshaven upgraded line was celebrated on Monday, 12 December 2022. In eleven years, the formerly single-track line was transformed into a modernised, double-track and electrified railway line for passenger and freight transport. Along the route to the Jade-Weser Port, 122,000 [...]
Explosive ordnance in the ground from
Explosive ordnance from the Second World War still poses a potential risk to planned construction projects today. In order to be able to assess this risk and take it into account in further planning, M&P offers its customers pre-exploration of explosive ordnance on the basis of aerial photo analyses. In order to prepare a more meaningful aerial photo evaluation, M&P first has the attack and war events analysed using historical sources and [...]
Cybersecurity - Data protection in the MuP Group
2022 was one of the years in which attacks on critical infrastructure as part of hybrid warfare, as well as attacks on companies by criminal hacker groups, increased. The damage caused by these attacks totals millions of euros worldwide every year. The interface between man and machine via so-called phishing attacks (social engineering) is a particularly [...]
Winter aid - but the right way!
Many of our native songbirds are migratory. Nightingales and black redstarts, for example, leave for warmer climes at the onset of winter. Others stay here. The robin has even become a classic Christmas motif on the British Isles. "Robin" is almost as symbolic of Christmas there as St Nicholas is here. Like other songbirds that spend the winter here [...]
Feasibility study for the remediation of an old landfill site
The approximately 3.8-hectare old landfill is located in the south of Hamburg in the Elbmarsch area. The old landfill was covered up a few years ago to secure it. The area is currently fallow. A subsequent utilisation by a depot is currently being considered. To this end, M&P prepared a variant study on the remediation and utilisation of the old landfill. The variant study was intended to provide a general [...]
Desilting of the rainwater retention basin - Schlick Schlick Hurray, here we go again!
Rainwater retention basins (RRB) are artificial bodies of water that temporarily store large quantities of rainwater. Many foreign particles such as sand, road debris and leaves enter the basin with the discharged water or from the surrounding vegetation, which then settle to the bottom as sediment. Over the years, the sediment becomes continuously thicker. In order to maintain the original retention volume of the basins [...]
