Waste management is an integral part of numerous industrial, infrastructure and construction projects. These projects generate various types of waste, which are collected, recycled, treated or disposed of in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.
In the construction industry, waste management includes, amongst other things, the separation, processing, recycling and disposal of mineral and non-mineral material streams. The choice of processes is made taking into account the specific project requirements as well as the legal and site-specific framework conditions.

PORR environmental engineering offers services for both hazardous and non-hazardous waste. The range of services includes the mineral processing, treatment, recovery, disposal and landfill of materials.

The company has its own plants and technical facilities available for carrying out these operations. Planning and execution are carried out in accordance with project-specific requirements as well as the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Assessment of contaminated sites

The assessment of contaminated sites forms the basis for the assessment of sites and ground conditions. It serves to identify and evaluate potential subsoil contamination, as well as to plan further project-related measures.

PORR Umwelttechnik offers services in the fields of assessment of contaminated sites, planning and project development, environmental chemistry, exploratory drilling, well construction and geothermal energy.

The range of services includes the investigation and assessment of sites with regard to potential soil and subsoil contamination, the analysis of the results in accordance with applicable standards and legal requirements, as well as the preparation of cost estimates for containment and remediation measures based on the available investigations.

In addition, services are offered in the fields of environmental chemistry, exploratory drilling, well construction, as well as the planning and installation of geothermal systems for heating and cooling applications.

The containment and rehabilitation of contaminated sites form part of PORR environmental engineering’s range of services. Contaminated sites require the investigation and assessment of potential impacts on soil, groundwater and other environmental resources. This is based on risk assessments, analysis of alternative options, rehabilitation strategies and the planning of appropriate measures.

Depending on the site and project requirements, a combination of different containment and remediation methods may be employed.

The range of services includes, amongst other things:

  • Pre-treatment, clearance and disposal of contaminated materials
  • Containment using cut-off walls
  • Immobilisation of pollutants
  • Waste treatment
  • Groundwater remediation
  • Soil vapour extraction
  • Microbiological processes (in-situ and ex-situ)

As part of dismantling and demolition work, pollutants, man-made mineral fibres and building materials containing asbestos can also be removed. This work is subject to the requirements of the relevant regulations, including TRGS 519 and TRGS 521. The work is carried out by suitably qualified personnel.

PORR environmental engineering offers services in the fields of demolition, dismantling, gutting, material separation and urban mining.
The range of services encompasses the planning and execution of dismantling projects of various scales, including the separation, processing, recycling and disposal of materials. In addition, technical dismantling concepts are developed and implemented for industrial plants, power station sites and other complex structures.
As part of urban mining projects, buildings and industrial sites are assessed for existing materials and their potential for recycling. This involves identifying materials, estimating quantities and considering various options for recycling and recovery.
The services range from individual dismantling and gutting operations to multi-trade projects, including planning, dismantling, materials management, recycling and disposal.

Certificates/Approvals.

Compliance with defined quality requirements is an essential part of project management at PORR. This is also evidenced by our certificates and accreditations. These are regularly reviewed and renewed through external audits and by independent certification bodies.

Full-Service.

One-stop solutions.
Safe and cost-effective.

PORR has many years’ experience in the planning and execution of complex construction projects – from the initial concept development right through to handover as a turnkey project.

Drawing on our extensive expertise, we deliver bespoke solutions. Across the entire construction value chain, we have our own teams of experts in all key trades and offer comprehensive specialist knowledge from a single source: in data centres, railway construction, government services, building construction, industrial construction, civil engineering, mineral resources, specialised civil engineering, tunnelling, environmental technology and transport infrastructure construction.

Our service portfolio ranges from general planning to the final implementation.

Our expertise – your benefits:

Holistic planning and execution

The safe, on-schedule and high-quality delivery of your projects is a top priority for us. We offer all planning and construction services from a single source, from the execution of individual trades right through to cross-trade solutions, including planning, site management, supply and installation of all materials.

Construction management: safe and cost-effective

Cost-effectiveness and safety are at the heart of our construction management. Consistent, coordinated construction processes, transparency and the rigorous implementation of measures to ensure adherence to deadlines and quality standards are second nature to us.

Certifications and accreditations

We work in accordance with recognised standards in the areas of safety and quality. Our solutions ensure reliable delivery and possess the necessary certifications and documentation for their application.

Project management

Using sophisticated and proven digital management processes for both the design and execution phases, we ensure cost-effective and safe construction. Lean management methods help us to monitor and optimise construction progress on a daily basis, ensuring that all trades work together seamlessly.

Integrated Logistics and Execution

Thanks to our own staff and the PORR network, we coordinate site logistics, material deliveries and the organisation and execution of all necessary trades. Our promise: everything from a single source.

Active Schedule Monitoring and Quality Assurance

It is crucial for clients to be kept informed of their project’s progress at all times. Regular budget and quality checks, as well as an overview of any schedule adjustments, are essential. With our site status report, you’re always kept up to date.

Short construction times

Thanks to our phased construction method and our many years of experience, we coordinate all work processes efficiently. Our experienced engineers simulate the construction process right from the start of a project, identify potential bottlenecks and optimise the workflow.
