Special civil engineering/rock engineering

Deep and safe at the same time.

Special civil engineering is a responsible task for real specialists. Precisely coordinated procedures for foundations, subsoil seals, rock, slope and structure stabilisation must be tailored to the respective soil conditions as well as the intended use. With its experienced teams, PORR fulfils particularly high demands in terms of reliability and versatility.

Rock technology

Rock technology has been professionally developed and continuously expanded at PORR for years. No stone stands in the way of our highly trained and experienced specialists, the so-called rock team. If necessary, they secure on a suspended rope, in any position and on any surface.
