Vibration measurements and forecasts

Bild Erschutterungsmessungen

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

GrotenBollhorst scaled

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

Krater im Luftbild markiert

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

FG22 202301 scaled

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!

Post Winterfutterung 2 scaled

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

AAB Pollhornweg 3 2048x1365 1

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!

Post FB1 2022 11 Entschlammung 4 scaled 1

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 [...]

Relocation of floors - Cut & Fill

Post FB3 12 5 1

A logistics company is planning the construction of a new logistics centre on an approx. 21 ha arable and pasture area on the BAB 66 motorway near Flieden. The scope of services includes a historical investigation to explain possible subsoil contamination caused by contaminated sites, orientating investigations to assess the legal waste situation and subsoil investigations to assess the subsoil. In addition to the subsoil investigations just described to assess [...]

Bomb funnel! ...or not?

Abb 1 Bombentrichter 1

The interpretation of explosive bomb craters is an essential part of aerial image analysis for the preliminary detection of explosive ordnance. How well these objects can be recognised depends primarily on the quality and scale of the available aerial imagery. If both factors are favourable, it is generally possible to identify explosive bomb craters on the basis of their characteristics (ejected material, hollow shape). This is particularly [...]

M&P explores the Alster

PXL 20221014 135358729.MP 1

"Plan. Decide. Delegate. Tackle. Rethink. Motivate. Giving freedom. Draw boundaries. Be a role model. Showing courage. Stick together. Leading the way. Pulling together. Achieve goals. Sailing." Sailing is advertised as a team-building activity, for example. This was to be tried out on a small scale and so M&P organised an event with all Hamburg members (M&P Ing. / M&P [...]) in October.
