DE The experts and in particular the junior staff of M&P Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH were well represented at this year's Contaminated Site Symposium organised by the German Engineering Association for Contaminated Site Management and Land Recycling (ITVA). Almost 25 employees from many different M&P branches came together in Wuppertal to exchange expertise, socialise and network.
This year's Contaminated Sites Symposium was held in the Historische Stadthalle in Wuppertal with the support of the AAV (Association for Land Recycling and Contaminated Site Remediation). After the symposium started with a get-together on Wednesday evening, various presentations on Thursday addressed and discussed legal and enforcement issues relating to the Mantelverordnung, which will come into force in August 2023. This was followed in the afternoon by presentations on various refurbishment projects in urban areas based on practical examples. After a lot of technical input, the participants were able to enjoy Bergisch specialities between the Rhineland and Sauerland with a cool drink or two in the evening.
On Friday, there were presentations on topics including in-situ redevelopment and land recycling. The presentation by managing directors Thomas Hartmann and Matthias Wieschemeyer, who used a project in Osnabrück to present the conversion of land close to the city centre, was particularly noteworthy.
In addition to the technical presentations, the Young ITVA met and elected its speakers. The Young ITVA comprises all ITVA members under the age of 40. We are particularly pleased that the M&P employees Lea Dreier (Hanover branch), Martin Groten (Osnabrück branch) and Kevin Frank (Cologne branch) are represented in the 7-member speaker group. In addition, some M&P employees are represented in the ITVA's various specialist committees and regional groups.
We are looking forward to the next Contaminated Sites Symposium in 2024 and hope to meet many experts from the M&P Group again!
