Landscape planning
Even before the start of construction work in major projects we created ecological compensation areas, so that animals and plants can quickly colonise their new habitats on the land and in the water. Once construction is finished, we return areas no longer required to nature and plant them. Specific measures include laying out ponds and swales, forestation, marsh areas and reed beds, migration facilities for fish and amphibians or wildlife tunnels.
Environmental impact
In order for our planned projects to be implemented, it is often necessary to carry out an environmental impact assessment (EIA). We start this process with an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), in which we present our planned construction projects. The task of the EIA is to determine and assess the possible direct and indirect effects of a project on humans, animals, plants and their habitats, with the participation of the public and on a scientific basis.
