Scientific and Technical Services

We are a team of geologists and agricultural engineers with a strong acquirement for interdisciplinary and interactive communication.

Our knowledge in specialized fields often leads to a proper solution also in difficult situations. Our work in various research and development provides us special up-to-date technical know-how

  1. Graphical illustration of groundwater contamination issues in a three-dimensional, spatial dimension
    • software IDL (Interactive Data Language) for data analysis and visualization
    • input: gridded data from several vertical levels like data from groundwater models, direct push-tests, etc.
    • output: comprehensible illustration of three-dimensional issues like
      • spatial spreading of contamination plumes
      • vertical exchange between groundwater storeys
      • spatial distribution of contaminated groundwater areas as a basis for remediation planning
