Increasingly stringent safety requirements are central to the present and future planning of hydraulic structures and environmental safety while meeting the demands of best possible ecological preservation. We offer practical solutions to the customer based on current specialized knowledge of its engineers and experience acquired from implemented projects.

Hydraulic Structures: We are specialised in the realisation of complex studies and proposals for flood protection, re-naturalisation of large and small rivers, desilting and cleaning of retaining schemes. Significant is the collection of basic data analysis for hydrology, hydraulics and sediment transportation by our many experts.

Many years of experience within the area of hydraulic model tests also enable us to provide innovative solutions to the customer's advantage. The analysis of natural hazards (floods, landslides, avalanches, earthquakes) and measures of protection against these hazards are an indispensable part of the safety needs of the population.

Excellent project management is guaranteed due to the well-established and interdisciplinary methods used by our staff who are always familiar with latest state-of-the-art working techniques. Back-up is also provided by our co-operation with laboratories of universities and technical institutes.

In doing so, we not only identify potential risks, but also work out conceptual solutions and operative measures. In a constantly changing environment it is our objective to provide an unbiased and neutral assessment of existing and possible future risks which present a potential threat to a company, its employees or the environment.
