Demolition of a former residential building
In Pirmasens, the demolition of a former residential building on the premises of a building materials company was planned on behalf of the property owner. During the preliminary waste investigations, the visually inconspicuous plaster on the EPS thermal insulation composite system was found to contain asbestos. The adhesive patches of the EPSW panels were also identified as being contaminated with asbestos fibres. Findings of this kind have become more frequent recently. As part of the [...]
First amendment to the Construction Site Ordinance
On 1 April 2023, changes to the Construction Site Ordinance from June 1998 will come into force for the first time. The reason for this is a reminder from the EU Commission with detailed demands for improvements with reference to sanctions in the event of non-compliance with the specified level. The necessity also results from the high accident figures and the highest number of deaths at work in the construction industry. [...]

Just how topical the problem is has only recently been [...]
Renovation of the Karlsfeld three-field hall - preserving the building fabric means sustainability

To improve flood protection and implement measures in accordance with the EU Water Framework Directive, the town of Stadtlohn has therefore had a flood protection concept drawn up, which is currently being implemented [...].
Vibration measurements and forecasts
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 [...].
