Services

Engineering services for natural hazards

Project planning, engineering, and implementation of protective measures against gravitational natural hazards, with a focus on flexible barrier systems against flowing mass movements. Simulation, calculations and dimensioning of protective structures. Planning and project management of property protection measures in accordance with the relevant country's regulations (e.g., cantonal or national).
