Soil Science Construction Supervision

Soil science construction supervision (BBB)

Construction projects involve a considerable amount of both permanent and temporary

as well as temporarily. The Federal Soil Protection Act (BBodSchG) must be complied with. Impacts on the soil should avoid impairing its natural functions and its function as an archive of natural and cultural history as far as possible (§ 1, § 2 Para. 2 Nos. 1 and 2 BBodSchG).

If soils are only used temporarily, e.g. in the course of construction work, the soil functions must be safeguarded or restored. In particular, excavated soil must be handled with care so that the restored soil can fulfill the natural soil functions as comprehensively as possible after construction is completed. If there is surplus excavated soil, high-quality recycling should be sought.

For this reason, soil monitoring (BBB) is increasingly required. Particularly in the case of extensive projects that involve major soil work or that are surrounded by sensitive soil-dependent uses (forestry and agriculture), soil monitoring is seen as a suitable instrument for ensuring that soil protection concerns are taken into account throughout the various phases of a project.
