CRANE EXPERT SERVICES
Crane Inspections
Cranes are classified as work equipment and are therefore subject to the German Industrial Safety Regulation (BetrSichV). This requires regular inspections, which must be carried out at least once per year by a qualified crane expert.
In addition, all applicable DGUV regulations must be observed. Load handling attachments such as lifting beams, grabs or hooks are also subject to periodic inspection. These inspections include both functional testing and the review of documentation such as inspection records and risk assessments.
Three types of inspections are distinguished:
- Initial inspection prior to commissioning
- Inspection following significant modifications or repairs
- Periodic inspections, usually on an annual basis
Expert Reports and Damage Assessment
Despite comprehensive safety measures, accidents and incidents may still occur. In such cases, the resulting damage must be assessed by a certified crane expert. Based on this expert evaluation, the further course of action can be defined.
Whether and under which conditions a damaged crane may continue to operate can only be determined following a thorough technical assessment.

Industrial Construction
Industry is not always beautiful — but it is essential. We ensure that industrial structures function reliably, safely and efficiently. Tell us what you want to achieve, and together we will develop the right solution: structured, efficient, and reliable.
Crane and Material Handling Engineering
Heavy loads require reliable lifting and material handling systems. Stationary cranes are typically designed for specific tasks and remain in operation at a fixed location throughout their service life. In port facilities, portal cranes and luffing jib cranes are widely used, while container handling cranes play a key role at major ports such as Bremerhaven, Hamburg and Wilhelmshaven.
Building Construction
As structural engineers, we provide structural calculations, building physics design, and detailed planning for both design and execution phases. We act as an interface between all engineering disciplines involved in a project and ensure smooth coordination throughout the process.
In addition to new construction projects, refurbishment and work on existing buildings present particular challenges. Dealing with existing structures requires experience, technical sensitivity and a deep understanding of structural behavior.
Steel Hydraulic Structures
Large parts of Germany are accessible via the federal inland waterway network. These waterways, extending over more than 7,000 km, require continuous maintenance and regular refurbishment. Along them, numerous locks, weirs and gates have been constructed, all of which must remain fully operational.
Energy Consulting
We provide well-founded energy consulting for residential buildings based on engineering expertise. The aim is to realistically assess the energy performance of your building and to establish a reliable basis for meaningful energy-efficient refurbishment measures.
