DE Drainage planning in practice
Climate change and its consequences are associated with an increase in the number of hot and dry days as well as the number of heavy rainfall days. In order to prevent heavy rainfall-induced flooding and overloading of the sewer system in sparsely to densely populated areas, site-specific drainage planning must be carried out. Even in the early planning phases of a building, the development of a drainage concept is an essential component [...].

Special application for our vibration measuring devices
On the site of the "Bochum Observatory", there are three so-called "Tagesüberhauen", mining relics of a former mining field. In mining terminology, a mine workings constructed in the coal seam from the bottom up to the surface for the purpose of ventilation is referred to as an opencast mine. The three day openings are constructed to a depth of around 20 metres, taking into account the thickness of the overburden [...]
Water quantity management and climate impact adaptation
Historically, groundwater in Germany has been an (un)finite resource. Currently, around 70 % of water for public services is supplied from groundwater resources. However, groundwater formation is already being significantly disrupted by heavy rainfall, droughts and evaporation due to air temperatures rising twice as fast as the global average. In this respect, the coming [...]

ESG energy source: Heat pumps
The use of renewable energy sources for heating and cooling purposes makes a significant contribution to reducing the need for fossil fuels, which in turn leads to a considerable reduction in CO2 emissions in the building sector. By 2045, all existing buildings are to be climate-neutral, and from 1 January 2024, new buildings must cover at least 65% of their heating requirements from renewable energy sources. A [...]
