„Resources Efficiency in Soil and  Foundation Engineering“ Seminar

The topic of resources efficiency has also increasingly gained in importance in recent years. Soil and foundation engineering occupies a special ranking in this context: soil and rock account for around 60 % of mineral construction waste in Germany.

The major part of this can be recycled, but nearly 18 million tonnes of waste requiring landfill disposal are nonetheless produced every year.
