About our company
Beratungs-Gesellschaft Smoltczyk & Partner GmbH, S&P for short, was founded in Stuttgart in 1976 by Professor Dr.-Ing. habil. Dr.-Ing. E.h. Ulrich Smoltczyk, one of the pioneers of modern geotechnics, and is now based in Stuttgart-Vaihingen.
Here we have our own laboratory for soil mechanics, a department for engineering geology and hydrogeology field tests as well as conference rooms. We have had a branch office in Abstatt near Heilbronn since 2016 and a branch office in Weingarten (Upper Swabia) since 2020. We have experience from over 8000 projects and are therefore your partner for all questions relating to geotechnics, hydrology and environmental technology.
We have been operating successfully for more than four decades, mainly in Germany, but also worldwide. Our office is run by 45 civil engineers and geologists, hydrogeologists, environmental scientists as well as commercial and technical staff together with the managing partners.
