Collision check in anchor

Contractors require targeted and effective contributions to streamline their complex construction projects. Optimizing the alignment, modelling the cross section, or performing a numerical or geotechnical analysis during the design phase leads to considerable savings and achieves desired results of structural excellence.

We therefore offer a range of services of value to contractors, from pre-design to detailed design, through to construction and operation, for all kinds of underground structures. We have supported numerous clients with our valued added knowledge, derived from our experience from a big range of successfully completed underground engineering projects.
