Key Areas of Environmental Construction Services
The environment is our habitat, and protecting it is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Environmental construction services play a significant role in this effort, focusing on four key areas: immissions control, nature and species conservation, soil conservation, and water protection. These areas derive from the legal environmental assets defined under the Environmental Impact Assessment Act (EIA), which may be affected during the implementation of a project — particularly during the construction phase. Environmental construction services ensure compliance with environmental regulations, thereby preventing adverse impacts on the environment.
Ideally, environmental construction services are integrated during the preparation of execution planning and tender documents for a project. This allows for the incorporation of regulatory requirements into tender specifications, contributing significantly to cost and schedule reliability.

Soil Conservation
The professional treatment of cultivable soils is a core task of soil conservation and therefore also an integral part of environmental construction services with DIN standard 19639 (from 2019) as our fundamental basis. In this field, we develop soil protection concepts in consultation with soil protection authorities and work with our many certified soil specialists during the construction phase. We oversee the professional removal of cultivable soil, ensure subsoil protection, monitor soil stockpiling, and secure proper recultivation.
Immissions Control
Immissions control plays a significant role within environmental construction services, focusing on both nature and public safety. Thus, it is closely aligned with occupational health and safety. Our tasks include ensuring compliance with the Federal Immission Control Act (German: Bundes-Immissionsschutzgesetz, BImSchG) to prevent disturbances caused by emissions such as dust, noise, light, and vibrations affecting adjacent areas and their residents. This also includes monitoring and supervising vibration and noise measurements.
Nature and Species Conservation
A major component of environmental construction services is nature and species conservation. Serving as the central point of contact for nature conservation authorities, we handle tasks such as monitoring protection and mitigation measures, supervising land-use activities, enforcing construction boundary compliance, safeguarding protected species within the construction site, and advising on timing regulations for construction.
Water Protection
The Federal Water Act forms the basis of water protection and the preservation of watersides’ function, including ground water protection. Our role is to ensure the implementation of water management measures and compliance with permit conditions in collaboration with the relevant water authorities.
Our Services at a Glance
We provide comprehensive solutions in environmental construction services, including:
Legal Compliance
Ensuring project implementation adheres to all legal and regulatory requirements through expert consultation and support.
Environmental Protection
Preventing environmental and liability damage under the Environmental Damage Act and related legislation, while minimising impacts on nature and landscapes.
