Reference projects

Every year, we successfully implement a multitude of projects and research initiatives. In doing so, we merge extensive expertise, years of experience, and a passionate team spirit.

We aim to provide you with an insight into the depth and breadth of our work. To this end, we have curated a selection of representative projects from areas including Repository Design, Waste Management Strategies and Methods, Disposal Technology and Special-purpose Machines, Long-term Safety Studies, Special Solutions for the Mining and Construction Industry, Near-surface Repositories, Site Investigation and Assessment, and Closure of Underground Cavities. Dive in to see how we operate as a research and planning organization and the innovative solutions we develop for a wide range of challenges.
