Waste management

We contribute our waste management expertise to approval and implementation projects in a variety of ways. As waste management site supervisors, we are responsible for compliance with waste management requirements and measures during construction. For this purpose, the waste management site supervision is equipped with the necessary authority to issue orders and knowledge of the basics according to the Austrian Landfill Ordinance 2008 and BAWP 2017.
