Mining and Enviromental

Through Brenk© company with over 30 years experience and who understand our environment as a complex network of single subsystems being protected best by sustainable handling of the central environmental protection goods water, air and soil. For the preservation of these protection goods, the emissions into and the impacts of the environmental media have to be analyzed and limited to standards being reasonable with respect to both, managerial and national economics.

In this context, differentiated databases, exact diagnoses and reliable projections of the transport and effects of relevant hazardous substances need to be drawn up at short notice and in accordance with the requirements of the specific case concerned.

We determine the amounts of hazardous material and their transports in air, water and soil as well as in the biosphere by model calculations and validate them by measurements if possible. With the analyses of the respective site specific exposure situation we are able to limit extensive and costly investigations to the really unavoidable measure. The results then lead to optimized solutions for the successive phases of planning, licensing and realization.
