Supply and Waste Engineering
Heat. Water. Electricity.
In addition to technical know-how, engineers in supply and disposal engineering need the ability to analyse complex contexts and to develop individual solutions. Renewable energy sources are also included in supply and disposal engineering. Examples are geothermal energy and the use of heat from ground, biogas plants and the use of renewable raw materials, as well as district heating networking for heat distribution. We will advise you in all areas.
Water Supply
Plan. Expand. Distribute.
Clean drinking water ensures the sustainable development of whole regions. Sources of water include river water, groundwater and sea water. The quality of the raw water determines the technical solution for its processing. We ensure that the processed water will be distributed and temporarily stored in transport networks. So the water in the distribution system reaches the consumer.

Wastewater Management
Identify. Reduce. Safeguard.
Cleaning and disposal of industrial wastewater is particularly complicated and costly. Systematic analysis and evaluation of the water and wastewater-related parameters on site can greatly reduce costs. Aspects of wastewater management are the type of water supply, the average consumption of water and the contents of the wastewater. We reduce the production costs. For us, environmental protection means reducing water consumption and reusing waste products. Waste products are sand, screenings and valuable materials, such as sewage sludge, which contribute to energy extraction.

- Identifying types of wastewater
- Checking the wastewater supply and water consumption
- Checking wastewater accrual and waste sites

Geothermal Energy
Investigate. Plan. Optimise.
Geothermal energy offers an economic and sustainable option for heating and cooling buildings. As expert planners for geothermal systems, we orientate our planning services in accordance with HOAI (Fee Structure for Architects and Engineers; AHO Booklet 26). We take on the basic evaluation/feasibility study, preliminary planning and pilot studies (thermal response test, pump trials), the design and approval planning, as well as the implementation planning and contracting (service phases 1 to 7 in accordance with HOAI).

Fermentation Power Plants
Plan. Utilise. Construct.
Biogas, in addition to the renewable energy sources solar and wind, is an important energy source. We use many raw materials: digester gas from sewage treatment plants, organic waste and renewable raw materials. Regionally available resources and energetically recyclable waste materials can be produced in an environmentally friendly way. What is special about biogas? It is natural energy obtained from organic material and delivers CO2-neutral heating, cooling, electricity and gas.
