  • Hydraulic Engineering

    To ensure that our rivers and streams fulfil their ecological function and at the same time we humans can use the water and are sufficiently protected from floods, it is necessary to carry out regulatory hydraulic engineering measures.

    The picture shows a largely free-flowing river with gravel banks. There is only a street on the right-hand side, which is protected by a few large stones.

  • Calibration of Hydrometrical Current-Meters

    Regularly measured discharge data in our rivers are crucial for water management. The quality of these measurement data directly impacts the design of our flood protection structures, the delineation of hazard zones, and more. Therefore, the accuracy of this data is of paramount importance.

    The rotating propeller of the small hydrometric blade is barely visible as it is pulled through the water tank of the calibration system at high speed.
