River engineering has become much more nature-oriented in recent decades. Today, balanced solutions are required that take equal account of human interests and the promotion of an intact environment. Our hydraulic engineering experts have made a fundamental contribution to the development of such integrated solutions and are shaping river engineering. Nature-oriented and sustainable solutions are very important to us. The basic prerequisite for their successful implementation is our comprehensive knowledge in the fields of engineering biology and deadwood, bedload and morphology, hydraulics and instream river training (IRT).
We are committed to sustainable river landscapes that offer people, aquatic organisms and floodplain inhabitants a suitable recreational and living space even in times of climate change, while at the same time meeting high safety and usage requirements.
