Project description: In the southern Dortmund district of Hörde, steel was produced and rolled in the Hermannshütte until 2001. Subsequently, planning began for the residential use of this area with consideration of a lake that would also absorb floodwaters from the upper reaches of the Emscher River if necessary. These measures required extensive earthworks to model and prepare the residential areas and the lake bed. The site with the central PHOENIX lake is now a magnet for visitors and has comprehensively upgraded the Hörder city centre.

Our services: Planning, monitoring and documentation of earthworks measures for the preparation of residential building sites as well as participation in soil management against the background of comprehensive quality assurance on the part of the developer, subsoil expertise and geotechnical consulting for purchaser plots ranging from single-family houses to multi-storey buildings with basements under geotechnically difficult conditions.

Term: 2008 until 2020

Industry of the client: Project company of the municipality and the wastewater association as well as private buyers
