UHRIG Civil Engineering
The UHRIG system
We build large sewers. We specialise in particular in confined, urban spaces.
We work under flowing traffic, at great depths or in difficult soils. We are particularly efficient where space is at a premium. Our approach is always sustainable, environmentally friendly and economical.
Our 60 years’ experience and numerous patents will give you peace of mind.
We know everything about sewers
Everything from a single source. We plan and build on a turnkey basis. In every project, we put side offers and special proposals on the table to work faster, more efficiently and more climate-friendly than the competition.
Many of our methods are patented. They are positioned between classic open laying and pipe jacking. They combine the advantages of both technologies and are unique on the market. Our aim is to save time and money and protect resources and the environment.
Our civil engineering specialties
SEWER CONSTRUCTION
Thanks to our innovative technology and many years of experience, we are perfectly equipped to tackle any project. With the UHRIG system, we can offer everything from one source. Minimally invasive, for the sake of resources and environment. The next level of civil engineering.
LOWERING-IN METHOD
We take a different approach to underground construction: one of UHRIG’s specialties is the lowering-in method. This construction method involves creating a concrete shell around the structure above ground and then lowering it into a precisely dimensioned trench. This saves space and time.
DYNAMIC PIPE JACKING
Laying pipelines without having to do excavation work is one of our great strengths at UHRIG. This method is possible for carrier pipes up to 100m in length with nominal diameters of up to DN 3200 / 128’’. It makes pipeline construction particularly efficient and speedy.
WATER CROSSINGS
There are a number of methods for routing a pipeline under, through, or over a body of water. We have already realized a number of such projects with customized concepts. No task is too complicated for us. Water crossings are one of our specialties.
Ecological standards
Our aim is to constantly set new economic and ecological standards in our areas of expertise. We provide detailed information, explain the background and answer your questions. UHRIG is your contact for civil engineering. We use minimally invasive methods that ensure the least possible impact on the environment and nature.
CO2 reduction is not just a goal for us. We measure both the energy consumption and the CO2 intensity of our construction measures on our construction sites. In this way, we try to make resource conservation tangible and put it into figures.
In use all over Germany
After our company was founded, we primarily realised sewer construction projects in southern Germany. We are now active throughout Germany, and are currently particularly active in North Rhine-Westphalia. We also work internationally in some UHRIG business areas.
With our civil engineering activities, we laid the foundations for other business areas that still benefit from this expertise today. Today, we can look back on a group of companies. Interdisciplinary work continues to characterise us and is the main reason for our success.
