We have been successfully active in the field of subsoil investigation and geotechnics for over 25 years.
We are also your experienced partner with drilling for geothermal energy supply or a geological report
as with the "draining" of your building pit.
We look after small construction sites just as trustingly and reliably as large projects.
Our projects spread across Europe are impressive proof of this.

The ground represents the proverbial foundation for any construction project. The ground investigation and reporting therefore belong in the hands of an expert.
In the field of environmental technology, we offer all services from ground investigation to rehabilitation monitoring.
Subsoil investigation, exploration and approval procedures for e.g. sand-gravel deposits.
The ground investigation, laboratory and field tests are necessary for determining foundation-relevant soil mechanics parameters.
Determination and analysis of grain size, grain structure, consitencies, densities, water content and more.
Investigation of the geothermal use of the subsoil, creation of energy concepts, approval procedures and more.
In cooperation with the client and the structural engineer we compile geotechnical analyses and more.
We have many years of experience in the fields of well construction, geothermal drilling and all kinds of building ground exploration.
Wir ermöglichen die fachgerechte Gründung und Risikominimierung von Konstruktionen im Offshore-Bereich.
In addition to energy producers, construction and civil engineering companies, authorities and various companies, we have been working with local and national construction companies for many years.
The subsoil investigation is the examination of the condition of the soil to be built on in terms of strength, load-bearing capacity and soil layer composition. Exploring the subsoil is necessary because many construction companies require certain soil strengths in construction contracts or in special requirements.
The exploration of the subsoil affects almost all construction projects. Here, the area of the subsoil that is planned for development is examined. The load-bearing capacity of the subsoil is the focus of this investigation. When assessing the subsoil, the hydrological conditions, e.g. groundwater, are determined. For this purpose, the subsoil is evaluated with a recommendation for e.g. B. Lowering systems.
We determine the specific parameters for the soil and thus enable your planner or structural engineer to optimize the foundation elements for your building with the soil report and save you costs. Furthermore, you are on the safe side with the scope of the earthworks required for your construction project.
The ground report or subsoil report provides information about the subsoil: As a result of the subsoil investigations, you will automatically also receive foundation advice / foundation recommendations, which can be optimally used in the static calculations and further construction work!
Houses transfer their loads into the ground. The subsoil must therefore be stable and solid so that the building or structure to be erected is not damaged. If the subsoil is not load-bearing, sooner or later structural damage will occur. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a well-known example of a structure erected on a foundation that is very sensitive to settlement. Did you know that most structural damage is not caused by poor workmanship or external influences, but rather by unwanted subsidence during the construction phase and even years later? You bear the subsoil risk as the builder and therefore an examination and assessment of the subsoil should be obligatory for you.
In retrospect, most builders are satisfied that the basement was carefully sealed thanks to the subsoil investigation and that the fluctuating groundwater level or simply dammed water could not penetrate it. Or like in the extreme case "Leaning Tower of Pisa" soils with different settlement behavior influence the building and lead to a tilting of the building or crack formation.
Fundamentally, subsoil investigations are used to assess the suitability of the subsoil as a subsoil and as a basis for forecasting the interactions to be expected between the planned structure, soil, groundwater and neighboring structures or buildings. This enables far-reaching planning and cost certainty.
A well-founded and qualified subsoil report provides, among other things, statements on:
Subsoil description
oil structure and soil-mechanical characteristics (load-bearing capacity, sensitivity to settlement, ...)
Soil type and classification
Hydrogeological report, description of the groundwater conditions
Stability and settlement calculations
Subsoil assessment & foundation proposals
Requirements for the foundation of a structure
seepage ability
Information on earthquake zones
Information on frost resistance and frost protection measures
Information on the potential mining hazard
etc...
A subsoil and foundation report is therefore based on a targeted examination of the subsoil by the expert, meets all the necessary requirements and contains all the key data required for well-founded planning and cost security. This often includes other aspects, such as waste classification, chemical analysis or checking for explosive ordnance, but also the assessment of hidden cost risks underground. Everything can be clarified with a qualified and professional ground investigation.
Our work begins with a well-founded recommendation on the scope of the investigation and extends to professional support for the foundation or, if necessary, renovation measures.
The specialist knowledge and many years of experience of our employees as well as the necessary good technical equipment enable us to carry out the tasks with which you entrust us in a qualified manner.
