Project Detail

Since the First World War, the site of the Munster-Nord military training area has been used both for military exercises and as a production site and test site for warfare agents. Together with the IFAH Institute for Applied Hydrogeology GbR, BIG has been commissioned with the expert, planning and construction supervision tasks in connection with explosive ordnance clearance, the exploration and remediation of soil and groundwater contamination and the dismantling of the contaminated building fabric.

The main focus of its work is on explosive ordnance clearance and extensive soil investigation. It is particularly important to coordinate the exploratory work with the times of use of the site by the Bundeswehr and to be available as a central contact person for the client.
