Grid expansion
Environmental planning plays a key role in grid expansion in order to identify and minimize the ecological impact of new infrastructure projects at an early stage. This includes carrying out environmental impact assessments, developing environmentally friendly routes and preparing expert reports on species protection, soil, water and landscape. We also support approval procedures, coordinate participation processes and liaise closely with authorities and other specialist bodies. Our aim is to ensure that grid expansion is legally compliant and sustainable in line with nature conservation and environmental protection.

Wind energy
We play a key role in the construction of wind farms in order to identify and take into account potential impacts on nature and the landscape at an early stage. Our tasks include carrying out environmental impact studies, species protection assessments and special faunistic and floristic reports. Our range of services also includes the assessment of impacts on soil, water, climate and landscape as well as the development of avoidance, mitigation and compensation measures. In addition, we accompany approval procedures and support public participation. The aim is to realize wind farms in an ecologically compatible and legally compliant manner.

Environmental monitoring & research
With large-scale monitoring project, we use modern technologies to record and evaluate populations and habitats. The data obtained supports the development of targeted measures to protect endangered species, reduce environmental influences such as predation pressure or competition and optimize habitats. In this way, we not only expand our knowledge of ecological relationships, but also make a decisive contribution to nature and species conservation. Through continuous monitoring and the development of targeted habitat measures, we support communities of interest, landowners and project managers to stabilize ecosystems sustainably and safeguard biodiversity.

Nature conservation
As part of our nature conservation projects, we combine in-depth specialist knowledge with modern technologies to record and evaluate populations and habitats on a large scale and safeguard them in the long term. Through precise monitoring and systematic data collection, we create a reliable basis for effective conservation measures. With our projects, we make an active contribution to the conservation of biological diversity and support our partners in reconciling ecological responsibility with economic and social interests.

Data analysis & modeling
Our projects in the field of environmental data analysis and modeling provide a reliable basis for decision-making in the planning, protection and sustainable use of landscapes and resources. By using the latest analysis methods, automated recording technologies and spatial-statistical models, we make complex ecological relationships visible and assessable. Using GIS-supported spatial analyses to identify focal points of pressure, habitat potential and development scenarios and the integration of remote sensing data and time series analyses to monitor changes and trends, we visualize complex data in the form of maps, dashboards and comprehensible reports to support decision-making processes. Our analyses enable planning stakeholders to recognize environmental impacts at an early stage, evaluate scenarios and develop targeted measures to improve the ecological situation. In this way, we make a decisive contribution to scientifically sound, future-oriented planning.
