Project Work in the Time of COVID-19

The COVID 19 pandemic severely limits the mobility of all people in the face of the necessary quarantines, travel restrictions and closures – including, of course, those of our experts and sales staff. However, we would like our clients to know that despite these restrictions, we continue to work hard on your projects.

Our consultants are used to intensive travel and working at several locations. They often do their work during airport stops and long flights. For this reason, it was easy for our experts to move their office workstation to the home office in order to reduce the risk of infection.

Wherever our employees work, even at our clients' premises, today's technology enables them to stay in touch with each other and with our clients – including via video conferencing. Our own international presence has been and continues to be supplemented by a worldwide and extensive network of partner companies and freelancers.

Although our mobility is limited, we continue to be active and committed to our clients. Even though there will be setbacks, we remain confident that we can make a positive contribution to our clients' projects.

Our Business Sectors

As a leading, independent engineering and consultancy enterprise active in the sectors of energy and infrastructure, we handle challenging projects in countries all over the world. Our clients profit from all-inclusive consultancy – across all areas of business.

BIM – 3D planning in all project phases

BIM – 3D planning in all project phases

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is used to create a digital model containing all the relevant planning data. It allows for an interconnected way of working that makes the planning and construction process efficient and transparent using three-dimensional data models. We apply this method in numerous projects, e.g. for planning substations.
