Hydraulic engineering
In Switzerland, 90% of building damage caused by gravitational natural hazards is caused by floods and debris flows.
The steady expansion of our settlements and infrastructures and the expected increase in heavy precipitation as a result of climate change further heighten the risk. We devise preventive and integral intervention concepts that also take ecological aspects into account. Our hydraulic engineering projects address the bed-load balance, as well as possibilities of ecomorphological upgrading and revitalisation.
Our services include:
- Hydrology und hydraulics
- Watercourse revitalisation projects
- Flood protection projects
- Ecological longitudinal connectivity and crosslinking of water bodies
- Widening of waterways
- Hydrometry
- Bed-load balancing
- Bed-load redevelopment
