DE M&P Heidelberg: Groundwater remediation in Walldorf: Reduction of pollutant concentration by approx. 99 %
Engineering for a better tomorrow: An LCKW pollution plume has been known in Walldorf since the end of the 1990s. Highly volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons jeopardised drinking water extraction north of the town. To prevent this, a major groundwater remediation project has been running for 20 years. At times, up to five remediation plants were in operation at the same time. Contaminated groundwater is pumped and cleaned of pollutants using activated carbon filters. [...]
M&P Hamburg: Investigation of building pollutants and subsoil as well as demolition planning and supervision at a commercial site in the south-west of Hamburg
A commercial property developer is planning the construction or extension of a logistics hall on a commercially used site in the south-west of Hamburg. This required the demolition of a 4-storey office and laboratory building with a basement and 2 neighbouring cold halls. Mull und Partner Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH was commissioned with the building pollutant investigation of the office and laboratory building to be dismantled, the subsoil investigation in the area of the new [...]
Settlement and transport area grows by 52 hectares every day
In the four-year average from 2016 to 2019, the settlement and transport area in Germany grew by an average of around 52 ha/day - as evidenced by current calculations for the "Increase in settlement and transport area" indicator. As a result, the daily increase decreased by around 4 hectares compared to the last indicator (56 ha/day in the years 2015 to 2018). In [...]

New bitumen industry solution for hot application of rolled and mastic asphalt
In November 2019, the rolled and mastic asphalt processing industry was faced with a difficult task due to the setting of a very low occupational exposure limit for vapours and aerosols from the hot processing of distillation and air-rectified bitumen. Provided that an industry solution is developed together with BG BAU and IG BAU, a 5-year transitional period has been [...]
M&P Heidelberg: Geotechnical investigations in the Ludwigshöhviertel, Darmstadt
The Ludwigshöhviertel neighbourhood in the south of Darmstadt is being created on the 34-hectare site of the Cambrai-Fritsch barracks and the Jefferson estate, which were previously used for military purposes. The old barracks site offers great development potential for a lively and diverse urban neighbourhood. Around 15 hectares are available for residential construction, which will be developed with around 1,400 flats. The MuP [...]
M&P Hagen: New model for creating living space requires ground investigations for building extensions
Due to the greater availability of jobs, many people are still moving from the countryside to the cities. As a result, living space in the cities has already become scarce and is facing steadily increasing demand. Building land is also still in high demand and therefore correspondingly expensive. In order to avoid high investments for new building plots [...]

M&P Hannover: Planning services for systems to protect against high groundwater levels
In the Blumenviertel neighbourhood in the Berlin district of Neukölln, a groundwater drainage system is currently being operated to support the remediation of contaminated sites. Once the remediation of the contaminated site has been completed and the water permit has expired, new concepts for groundwater regulation will be required, as buildings belonging to private owners whose basements are not properly sealed against pressing groundwater are protected in the area of influence of the extraction wells. Shutting down the system has the [...]
