Ground investigation - Difficult conditions due to old buildings
Difficult conditions due to old buildings GMSH is planning the construction of a new institute building for the civil engineering and architecture degree programmes on a car park at Kiel University of Applied Sciences in Schwentinestraße / Grenzstraße. The scope of services includes a ground investigation to assess the soil, a foundation recommendation and details of the earthworks and shoring work. To determine the soil structure, six small pile-driven boreholes and seven [...]
River restoration
Watercourses have been used by humans for centuries. Initially, they were mainly used to generate energy, for irrigation and to transport goods. Even back then, structures were built along watercourses to channel the water into the desired channels. Over time, flood protection has become increasingly important. As a result, practically all watercourses are nowadays [...]
Water rights applications
Depending on the scope and boundary conditions, simplified to complex water rights applications must be submitted to the competent authority for the use of water bodies as part of construction projects or other interventions. By definition, the use of a body of water also includes the use of groundwater. This means that in the case of groundwater lowering and discharges into bodies of water or the public sewerage system, as is usually [...]
Title: Partial demolition planning and supervision of the former listed motor pool of the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel
The public sector is planning to build on a plot of land that was formerly used as a motor pool for Kiel University. For this purpose, approx. 800 m² of the motor pool building had to be demolished. The building was a listed building and could only be partially demolished after a special licence under monument protection law had been granted. The challenge here was that the building was connected to existing buildings on two sides and [...]
Market and environment analysis as the basis for the sustainability report
Sustainable companies report on how sustainability issues affect their business and how their activities impact society and the environment. The different demands of the various stakeholders must be taken into account. Customers, employees, suppliers, banks, insurance companies, politicians and society have different expectations of companies. A stakeholder group analysis provides orientation on the topics to be prioritised. [...]
Dealing with debris from roadside ditches in Lower Saxony
The maintenance of watercourses generates clearing material that can be contaminated with pollutants typical of road traffic. The cleared material (sediments and plant components) has so far mainly been deposited permanently on the edge of the watercourse. An investigation for pollutants and disposal planning has not yet been legally required. With regard to compliance with waste and soil protection requirements, the Lower Saxony Ministry for the Environment, Energy [...]
Comprehensive sustainability - presentation of the Lok-Viertel Os site conversion
As part of the ITVA contaminated site symposium in Wuppertal, Mull und Partner Ingenieurgesellschaft presented the site conversion of the former Osnabrück goods and marshalling yard. The city centre site of around 22 hectares, which has now been derelict for more than 20 years, will be redeveloped over the next few years by the Aloys & Brigitte Coppenrath Foundation's Lok-Viertel-OS GmbH [...]
Exploration of the deep subsurface to contain geological hazards
When planning a construction project, the subsoil must always be investigated. Sometimes the subsoil harbours increased risks, so-called geohazards. In northern Germany, for example, salt dome highs pose a potential risk of sinkholes due to leaching processes. In this case, there are recommendations for constructive measures to reduce the risk of sinkholes for a planned development. In the case of a [...]
Deceive and camouflage
Even more than 70 years after the end of the war, there are still numerous underground explosive ordnance in the Federal Republic of Germany. These pose a considerable risk to public safety (in particular life and health, freedom, property of individuals) or public order in the event of ground interventions. In addition to various types of written sources, historical aerial photographs, which [...]
