Project Summaries
This
site lists some selected projects, that
have been carried out by myself as a freelance geologist or in interdisciplinary teamwork
with engineers, geologists, chemists and ecologists of Dr. Blasy - Dr. Øverland
Consulting Engineers, Eching, or Erdwerk GmbH, Munich. Also
some projects carried out during my employment time (before 1997) at Dr.
Blasy + Mader Consulting Engineers are listed.
Actual
projects refer mainly to water resources studies carried out by giz
international services/Dornier Consulting in Saudi Arabia.
The
projects
are briefly described by objectives of the project and, in some cases, methods
applied. Have a look on the project data sheets on my German
sites to get an idea about some interesting projects. The English
versions are available on request. Also a complete project and reports list since 1992 is available on request.
More
projects can be found on the German pages.
Almost all of the projects are
documented in internal expert's reports. Therefore, it is, with
respect to the clients, not possible to offer material for download.
