Sustainability

We give a promise of quality for people, the environment and a worthwhile future with a wide variety of sustainability initiatives.

As engineers, we play a key part in shaping our environment We therefore regard it as our responsibility to incorporate sustainability into our work in a holistic context. In everything that we do as KB.

We organize internal processes and procedures at KB just as sustainably as our operational activities as an engineering service provider in infrastructure and building construction projects.

Acting sustainably as an engineering service provider

The construction and real estate industry is responsible for a considerable proportion of global CO2 emissions. As a conscientious engineering service provider, we are aware of this fact and take our responsibility seriously. This is why we attach great importance to the topic of sustainability within the context of our engineering services. And we actively promote values that contribute to the longevity of infrastructure and structural engineering projects.

We pursue sustainable goals with these engineering services:

Infrastructure projects

  • Project and structural design for bridge and engineering construction
  • Repair planning for existing buildings
  • Structural diagnostics and monitoring

Structural engineering projects

  • Structural design
  • Repair planning for the existing buildings
  • Structural diagnostics and monitoring
  • Property planning of static measures
  • Property monitoring and construction monitoring

We adhere to these values:

Preservation rather than new build

We contribute to the long-term preservation of culturally valuable building structures and monuments by means of our planning services for existing buildings. We reduce the amount of demolition and disposal, protect the CO2 balance and reduce resource consumption and material requirements for new buildings.

Longevity by means of quality

We plan robust, durable buildings and promote sustainable project implementation by means of innovative methods such as wood-hybrid construction or CO2-optimized structural planning.

Lifecycle assessment

We integrate lifecycle analyses and lifecycle assessments for materials and components into our planning services as standard. They act as decisive criteria when considering variants and help to take subsequent recycling into consideration during the planning process.

Thinking ahead as a pioneer

Construction projects are no longer merely evaluated in terms of deadlines, costs and quality, but increasingly in terms of their ecological, social and economic impact as well. As a holistic engineering service provider, we are actively committed to sustainable approaches in the construction industry. By continuously optimising our existing services and developing new, innovative approaches, we endeavour to promote sustainability in all of our projects.
