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. [...]

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 Osnabrück: Preliminary exploration for potentially sulphate-acid soils
The Osnabrück site of Mull und Partner Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH was awarded the contract for the "Oil switch construction section" sub-measure for the preliminary investigation of the chemical composition of the soil with regard to potential acidification due to the influence of geogenic sulphate deposits in the actual state. M&P Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH was commissioned by DB Netz AG to carry out small pile-drilling and the subsequent assessment of the [...]
M&P Düsseldorf: New living space in Düsseldorf city centre
In the immediate vicinity of Düsseldorf's Am Wehrhahn S-Bahn station in the city centre, a total of 450 flats with 220 underground parking spaces are currently being built on an area of approx. 18,350 m².
