Georisks

Climate change and the associated extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall or dry periods are increasing the risk of geohazards. In addition, the development of new building areas for residential and industrial construction as well as for infrastructure measures is increasingly taking up areas that were previously not built on for good reason, such as floodplains with soft soils or flooded areas, landslide or creeping slopes, karst or rockfall areas. An assessment of these engineering geological risks is therefore essential for safe and cost-effective construction. If damage has already occurred, immediate measures must be taken to avert further danger and safety measures must be planned. We are happy to support you in this.

Georisks are understood in detail as

  • Landslides and large floe movements.
  • Rockfall and rockslides.
  • Sinkholes and sinkholes (karst phenomena).
  • Uplift due to springs (mudstone) and mineral transformation (anhydrite, pyrite).
  • Shrinkage and swelling of soils.
  • Settling fillings or deposits.
  • strongly fluctuating groundwater levels.
