Improved planning reliability thanks to historical location information

WHAT-WE-DO: A nightmare scenario for construction managers is the unexpected discovery of explosive ordnance, pollutants, foundation components and other building remains, which can lead to significantly different subsoil conditions. It is not uncommon for such finds to lead to a construction standstill.

In order to avoid the risk of such shutdowns, looking back into the past is often a first step for us in larger construction projects in order to be able to assess the development of potential environmental damage and the resulting risks. As an engineering company, we employ historians who focus on our project objectives.

Our team of specialists can currently look back on around 25 years of research into wartime events and industrial utilisation in Germany in national and international archives (including the USA, UK and Russia). In order to be able to utilise the huge amount of information in a targeted manner, a comprehensive digital information system is continuously maintained. It contains over two million pages of historical documents, over 10,000 historical military and industrial sites and over 100,000 air raid incidents from the Second World War in Europe.
