Our office has many years of experience in the development of safety concepts for construction projects in former mining areas, especially in the coal mining areas of Western Styria and Carinthia. Due to the long-standing cooperation with mining rights holders and mining authorities, tailor-made solutions can be developed and agreed upon for the respective project, which can be approved in the shortest possible time.

Depending on the requirements, the safety measures can include measures in the foundation area of the structure as well as back filling of the old mining cavities. Our wide range of activities allows a holistic treatment of the safety measures from the development over the geotechnical and static dimensioning up to the construction supervision.
