Risk & Safety Management
Incidents in underground facilities, particularly fire incidents, pose a great challenge for operators. An early guidance as well as a professional planning and validation are the key to achieving maximum efficiency and safety during construction and operation. We have gained valuable experience by completing successful projects.
We support our clients with distinctive specialization as well as extensive knowledge in risk and safety management. Together we design safety measures and plan tunnel-specific safety concepts, which ensure all-encompassing protection of persons and assets.
