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 [...]
Radon exposure indoors
We are constantly exposed to radiation in our environment. According to the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, the average annual effective radiation dose in Germany is around 3.8 mSv. Of this, 1.7 mSv is attributable to civilisational radiation sources and around 2.1 mSv to natural radiation exposure. Of these 2.1 mSv, 1.1 mSv is attributable to [...]
M&P Hagen: Major project for the electrification of a railway line
DB Netz AG is currently planning the electrification of the entire route as part of a major project along a 20 km section of the 2263 railway line from Wesel to Bocholt. The electrification is being carried out by installing overhead contact line systems (OLA). The OL masts will generally be founded on piles. In addition, it is planned to construct side paths along the track systems. [...]
M&P Heidelberg: Partial demolition of a ward block during ongoing hospital operations
Open-heart surgery: precision work using a large excavator was required to cleanly separate a 22 metre high ward block at Ortenau Klinikum Lahr-Ettenheim (Baden) from the rest of the five-storey building complex and demolish it in such a way that operations in a new hospital building just four metres away were not disrupted. As intensive care patients were also being treated in the neighbouring ward block, the highest standards of [...]
