General and civil engineering from a single source
Our service includes structural analysis for the preliminary planning, planning for building permission as well as detailed design (formwork drawing, reinforcement drawing and working drawing). Beyond that, we take on the general planning for projects.
With our qualified and motivated team, our specialization on few subject areas and our modern corporate structure, we contribute to optimization of building structures with compliance to current rules and standards.
Our advantages are:
- Over 45 years of experience in engineering
- Economical development of structures
- Efficient building construction
- Close teamwork with Architects and clients
- Computing with modern software programs
- A strong, well trained and experienced team
Experience and Innovation in German and international markets
Grotemeier Engineers plan various civil buildings such as laboratories, research plants, administration complexes (Bayer AG), logistic centres and housing estates. Various composting plants are also in planning.
The increasing international orientation of our firm during the last years is visible in some of the new interesting and challenging projects such as a production plant for WABCO electronic braking systems in Wroclaw, Poland, or a logistic centre for hazardous substances in Reykjavik, Iceland. Another challenging project was a composting plant in Dohuk, Irak. Grotemeier has also planned a distribution centre in Copenhagen for the logistic service provider Dachser.
New challenges call for new structures within a firm. Beside English-speakers, our team now includes a Chinese-born engineer with both Chinese and German university degrees.
