50 YEARS TREND-SETTING AND INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING SERVICES
In 1958, the civil engineer Helmut P. Gauff established the company H.P. Gauff Ingenieure
in Nuremberg. Therewith, he laid down the basis for the success of Gauff Consulting
Engineers.
50 YEARS GAUFF INGENIEURE
1958 to 2008. From the foundation of the company until today; half a century of time and
company history at a glance.
WATER IS THE SOURCE OF LIFE
“Clean drinking water for all” is one of the millennium targets of the United Nations.
Gauff Ingenieure also works for this purpose so that this target can be realized.
FEWER DISEASES THROUGH HYGIENE
In order to avoid disease and so as to avoid reintroducing those defeated, the safe disposal
of waste water must go hand in hand with the supply of drinking water.
ROADS CONNECT PEOPLE
There would be no progress without roads; commercial centres are established at their
junctions. Modern roads are a major factor contributing to economic growth.
MOVING MASSES ON TRACKS
The railway is an important means of transport. In Germany alone, more than 340 million tonnes
of goods and more than 2.2 billion people are carried by rail each year.
EXTERNAL PERFECTION AND INTRINSIC VALUES
From the layout to the construction material, only if everything is right can people feel
comfortable in a building. Beside knowledge and experience, intuition plays a significant
role during construction.
CONSEQUENTLY IN LINE WITH NATURE
Water supply, waste and waste water disposal, power supply or traffic design.
Today, design is no longer possible without considering the effects on the environment.

As first mass-produced microprocessor,
the Intel 4004 comes on the
market. Its 4-bit data size suffices
for the application in electronic
calculators and for the control of
electronic instruments. In 1986,
the microchip producer Intel stops
the production of the Intel 4000.

The Federal Republic of Germany
imposes a Sunday ban for the
individual traffic in Germany and
in Switzerland as a direct reaction
on the first and so far most serious
oil crisis. Furthermore, new speed
limits are initiated shallot try and
relieve the consequences of the
crisis. This has an enormous moral
but hardly an economical effect.
1978
19 TH JANUARY
Gauff Ingenieure is awarded
the contract for the water
supply design of the new
Nigerian capital Abuja. In order
to supply the approximately
650,000 inhabitants, an
8 square kilometres embankment
dam is constructed on
the river Usuma. The project
definition contains design and
construction supervision of a
storage lake, a pumping station,
a wastewater treatment plant
as well as 30 kilometres of
gravity mains.
It runs and runs and runs. In 1935,
after a long development period,
the Beetle is being firstly presented to the
public and developed into a success story.
In 1946, the first post-war Beetle was
delivered by the factory in Wolfsburg.
Millions follow. On 19 th January 1978,
the last Beetle from German and
European manufacturing is launched
from the band conveyor in Emden.

NYALI BRIDGE, KENYA
Gauff Ingenieure also sets
standards in the bridge building
sector. The Kenyan government
entrusted the steadily growing
company from Germany with the
building of the longest reinforced
concrete bridge in Africa with a
total span length of 390 metres.
The bridge connects the island
of Mombasa with the Northern
coast of Kenya.

The Bavarian Ludwigsbahn was the
first steam engine railway which was
constructed for passenger traffic and
freight transportation in Germany.
In 1835, the line section Nuremberg-
Fuerth was initiated by the run of the
locomotive Adler. In 1985, the two
German railway authorities German
Federal Railways and German State Railway
celebrated their 150-year jubilee.
FOUNDATION OF GRE AND GE
The company Gauff expands its
business activities. In addition to
the services of water supply and
wastewater disposal as well as
road construction, the company
GRE is established for the field
of rail-bound traffic. A further
strategic expansion of the company’s
engineering services
into the CMEA range occurs.
For this purpose, GE is founded.
ICE – INTERCITY EXPRESS
Shortly after German reunification,
GRE Gauff Rail Engineering
was entrusted to rehabilitate the
railway infrastructure between
Drewitz and Berlin-Charlottenburg
on the railroad network
of the German State Railway so
that in this way that the ICE
could also drive into the German
capital. This target was reached
in 1993. In December 1993,
the ICE pulled into the railway
station Berlin-Lichtenberg for
the first time.

Recorded by TV cameras, the politburo member
Günter Schabowski reads out the message that
private journeys out of the German Democratic Republic
can be sought from now on without specific
reasons. Thereby, he heralds the unintended end
of the German Democratic Republic, because the
Western media reports shortly afterwards that
the German Democratic Republic opens its frontiers.
Immediately, thousands of people hit the road in
order to pass the frontier. During the same night in
Berlin, thousands of Western and Eastern Germans
hug each other with joyful tears in their eyes.
MOTORWAY SECTION A4
DRESDEN – NOSSEN
The traffic situation on the
East German roads has to be
improved. Gauff Ingenieure
takes over the design for the
six lane expansion of motorway

WATER IS THE SOURCE
OF LIFE
Over one billion people have to live without access to clean drinking water.
The experts of the United Nations estimate that this number will triple within
a few years. Already today, more than three million people per year die due to
unclean drinking water. Most of the victims are children – 4,000 die daily!
In 2000, 150 Heads of State concluded that this situation is intolerable and has to be improved
quickly and include the supply with healthy drinking water to the list of the most urgent global tasks.
“Clean drinking water for all” was defined as a millennium goal of the United Nations,
and a central challenge for mankind. This is a matter of our common future,
our humanitarian action and the life of many human beings.
If the wells run dry due to a drought, we are bound to find ways so that people
do not die of thirst. And we must never forget people in the more remote regions
of the world – they also need water. Only water keeps people alive. Humans
need to drink two to three litres of water daily, in very warm countries
even up to six litres!
The tasks are enormous. The Aid and Development Organisation for children
UNICEF estimates that one billion people living in slums have no water connection.
We are morally bound to supply them in the coming years with clean water.
But even there where water flows out of the water-tap there is still a lot to do.
Today, precious drinking water often seeps away into the subsoil due to old,
flawed and leaky pipelines.
WATER
Safe water supply increases the life expectancy of
children in developing countries and helps to protect
them from diseases. However, water means not only
healthiness but also economic development.
With such economic development, schools and
universities arise. Education is a guarantee for a
durable and sustainable future. The former UN
Secretary-General Kofi Annan was right in pointing out:
“Clean water is an important part of human dignity.”
All over the world, engineers try to safeguard and
improve the living environment of the people. They bear
the challenge and plan for the human world of tomorrow.
With elaborate, economically secured and innovative
solutions they make sure that the most precious
comestible will flow until the furthermost corner of the
earth.
For decades, Gauff has been significantly involved in
helping achieve these targets.

Nigeria – Water Supply Abuja
In order to develop Abuja as the new capital of Nigeria, the drinking
water supply of the city had to be guaranteed. Based on
hydrologic and geologic analyses as well as a draft design, a feasibility
study was executed resulting in the selection of the river
Usuma as a suitable source for the water supply of Abuja. The
project was realized with construction costs of 225 million Euros.
The consultancy involved design and construction supervision of
a dam and storage reservoir with a capacity of 105 million cbm,
a pumping station with a capacity of 5,400 cbm/hr, a wastewater
treatment plant, 30 km of gravity pipes, two reservoirs of 12,000
cbm each as well as 30 km of feeder roads.
Venezuela – Water Supply Caracas
In order to meet the increasing requirements for the water supply
to Caracas, the Tuy river with project stages I – IV was included
into the supply concept. The subproject Tuy IV with a project cost
of 50 million USD involved all design stages, procurement of
equipment and technical assistance to the management as well
as supervision of the works for 21 kilometres water pipes
(DN 1,700 – 3,000 millimetres), the pumping stations Taguaza
(8 cubic metres per second) and Fajardo (4 cubic metres per
second) as well as the rehabilitation of treatment plants.
Kenya – Baricho Fluvial Water Abstraction Plant
After completion of Sabaki river intake and abstraction plant
including Baricho water treatment plant it was found that due to
the extreme sand load of the fluvial water and the corresponding
sedimentation in the area of the river intake, the plant could
only be operated at 60% of its intended capacity. Through a comprehensive
study involving seismic measurements, test drillings,
data collection as well as design by means of a hydraulic model,
alternatives were proposed.
Germany – Water Works Sulzfeld
In order to meet the ever increasing requirements in the supply
area of the distant water supply in Franconia, the water works
Sulzfeld was built. With a water production from own sources of
385 litres per second (including conditioning) and 260 litres per
second water from overland pipes, two reservoirs each of 5,000
cubic metres, a pumping capacity of 380 litres per second and
an investment cost of 18 million Euros, the guaranteed supply
was restored. The consultancy involved a study of water consumption
patterns, all design stages as well as site management
and local construction management.
Zambia – Rural Water Supply
Zambia is afflicted frequently by drought. In order to guarantee
the supply of water to the population and to combat Cholera as
well as other “water born diseases”, the German Federal
Government provided 38 million Euros until now in order to build
wells. Until 1997, all in all 1,050 wells were built in the Central
Province. Since then, a further 1,450 wells were completed in
the Eastern province. On average, 250 inhabitants benefit from
each well. As a result, 750,000 people can now be supplied
with clean drinking water with the project target of 3,000 wells.
Germany – GIS Schneverdingen
For the public utility company of Schneverdingen, SETEC
Engineering, Klagenfurt, Austria, developed a digital mapping and
pipeline register for gas, water, electricity and street lightning. For
this purpose SETEC utilized the latest satellite-based GPS technology
for surveying and works and its own soft- and hardware. The
application of these modern technologies resulted in noticeable
quality improvements in mapping and pipeline registers and for
the corresponding plants. Furthermore, it allowed a selection of
the quickest and most economic solution possible to connect the
plants to the supply area.
Mali – Water Supply for the 1 st Region
In order to improve the water supply in the area of smaller cities
upcountry, a pilot project with a cost of 22.5 million Euros was
started which was realized in close cooperation with Kreditanstalt
für Wiederaufbau and the Government of Mali. The consultancy
comprised project management for the hydrologic and geologic
studies, preparation of tender documents for drilling companies
in 100 centres, studies and design of 30 water supply facilities,
technical assistance and construction supervision for the whole
programme.
Uganda – Kampala Revenue Improvement Programme
After the technical rehabilitation and extension of the water
supply systems in Kampala, financed by international donors, the
operational procedures needed improvement. For this purpose,
a management contract was concluded which was also the
preparatory phase towards privatization. The services comprised
consulting, operation and maintenance, procurement and the
implementation of an IT based information system. As a result,
revenue could be doubled; the costs in the personnel department
reduced by about 25% and by about 40% in purchasing. The
total water loss was reduced from 68% to 45%. Subsequent to
this management contract, the operating company was honoured
as the “Best Performing Utility Company” in Africa.

ASTEWATER
FEWER DISEASES
THROUGH HYGIENE
In order to avoid disease and so as not to reintroduce those already overcome,
the safe disposal of waste water has to go hand in hand with the supply of
drinking water. The United Nations have therefore declared the year 2008 as
the “International Year of Sanitation”. The aim is to use half of all investments
in the water sector for the hygienic treatment of waste water and excrement
in future. Through this, human excrement should be converted into useful raw
material. Today, over 2.6 billion people are still without basic sanitary services.
As a result more people die due to poor hygiene than due to wars.
“Prevention is the best medicine!” 80% of all disease in developing countries is caused by
unclean drinking water and especially by foul waste water. The safe supply of water can only be
guaranteed if waste water is professionally disposed of and cannot seep away unfiltered into the
soil. Water supply and waste water disposal belong to a common cycle, and require an integrated
approach to achieve acceptable solutions.
All member countries agree upon the principle way of
proceeding in order to achieve the millennium goal.
One of the thought leaders was Ryutaro Hashimoto,
Prime Minister of Japan and chairman of the UN Secretary
General´s Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation,
an advisory committee which directly assisted Kofi
Annan. The “Hashimoto” action plan focuses on three
aspects: hygiene, sanitary facilities and treatment of
waste water. Moreover, it proposes that in future,
precious potable water should no longer be used for the
conveyance of excrement or for irrigated agriculture.
The space on our planet becomes more and more
limited. According to estimations, the population will
increase from 6.7 to 9.2 billion in the next 50 years.
If we want to keep up with this increase, we need to use
the most suitable technical solutions for the treatment
of waste water. Engineers have already developed and
realized ideas that avoid the use of precious drinking
water for the lavatory flush. They recover clean industrial
water from sewage treatment plants, remove harmful
bacteria, and eliminate thereby the source of many
dangerous diseases.
For 50 years, Gauff has realized intelligent, nonpolluting
and economically sensible solutions in waste
water treatment.

Germany – Sewage Board Schwabachtal
In order to achieve a structural and cost-effective sewage disposal,
20 cities in the neighbourhood of Erlangen with a drainage
area of 1,250 hectares were administratively merged in to a corporate
body of public law, the sewage board Schwabachtal. With
a project cost of 35 million Euros, the main collectors, storage,
pumping stations, complex local network capacity as well as a
contribution towards the construction of a water treatment plant
in the city of Erlangen could be financed. The consultancy comprised
surveying, all design stages as well as site management
and local construction supervision.
Germany – Gladbeck
As a part of the large renovation and restoration projects of the
river Emscher and its tributary rivers, Gauff Ingenieure was
entrusted by the Emscher Association with these tasks for the
stream Hahnenbach. The concrete bed of the stream was
removed and a natural bank restored. In order to relieve the
stream from waste water, a new sewer with a total length of
about 2.5 kilometres was constructed. The sewer was built in
mining drift to a depth of 10 metres and has a diameter of
about 1.4 metres.
Turkey – Sivas
The municipality of Sivas, Turkey, entrusted Gauff Ingenieure with
the design of a new waste water treatment plant for a population
equivalent of approximately 300,000 as well as the associated
sewers. Beside the division of the existing sewage system into a
separate wastewater and surface water systems, all the existing
water supply pipelines were examined with regard to losses and
accordingly newly designed. Moreover Gauff was entrusted to
execute the tender procedures, contract award and the construction
supervision. This guarantees that until the year 2015 no
further expansion would be necessary.
Germany – Teublitz
In 1988, the waste water treatment plant of the cities Maxhütte-
Haidhof and Teublitz was completely overloaded and could no
longer guarantee sufficient waste water treatment. The new construction
of the waste water treatment plant needed to provide a
high operating security as well as enough space for later expansion
to meet the need of future increases in population. The new
waste water treatment plant was designed as a recovery plant with
sludge stabilization and has a modern nitrate elimination system
as well as equipment for chemical phosphate precipitation.
Due to the good design services provided by Gauff Ingenieure,
investment in a sludge digestion system became unnecessary.
Germany – South Western Main Collector Nuremberg
The South Western main collector was built to meet the increased
quantities of waste water as well as to make possible the
rehabilitation of the storm water system. The costs for the construction
of the 5 kilometres long section which has a diameter of
3,000 millimetres and is also designed as a sewer with storage
capacity and overflow measures amounted to 26 million Euros.
Due to the depth of 11 metres in places, the project was executed
in the inner-city area by subsurface construction with inspection
point space of 120 metres. The consultancy involved
surveying, all design stages as well as site management and
local construction supervision.
Venezuela – Waste Water Treatment Plant Puerto la Cruz
By construction of the waste water treatment plant for the city of
Puerto la Cruz, the quality of the beaches as well as the health
situation needed to be improved. The project had a cost of 100
million USD and comprised the construction of a new waste
water treatment plant with a capacity for a population equivalent
of 500,000, the connection of the existing sewer pipes, the
rehabilitation and extension of pumping stations and a seawater
discharge unit. The consultancy included all design stages,
procurement of equipment and technical assistance to the
management as well as supervision of the works.
Germany – Zeulenroda
The city of Zeulenroda is located along the bank of the corresponding
drinking water barrage which supplies approximately
350,000 inhabitants with drinking water. In order to prevent the
pollution of the drinking water by the entry of waste water during
heavy rainfall, Gauff Ingenieure was entrusted with the design of
a new waste water tunnel with a total length of approximately
2.4 km and an excavated cross section of about 11 m 2 as well as
the supervision of the construction works. Due to its size, the
new waste water tunnel has two functions; it is an interceptor to
the waste water treatment plant as well as a sewer with storage
capacity and with overflow facilities for excessively high rainfalls.
Turkey – Waste Water Treatment Plant Isparta
Gauff Ingenieure was entrusted with the training of the staff for
the waste water treatment plant which was completed in 2000.
For this, handbooks, safety and operating instructions as well
as maintenance regulations were developed. Accordingly,
Gauff coordinated spare part deliveries as well as the necessary
repairs to the plant. Through these measures, technical and
commercial qualification deficits could be overcome, and once
again, the plant meets the highest scheduled service standard.

ROADS CONNECT
PEOPLE
Roads are lifelines, create connections and develop cultural ties and

economic developments. Since people started to trade, they have come
together from all directions. The mysterious solar disc of Nebra documents
that an important culture at the crossover of four trading routes developed
at that place. The Salt Road and the Silk Road were also flanked by antique
centres. Centres develop left and right from roads even today – centres of
research, industry, trade and art. Without modern roads, neither development
nor growth is possible.
In the developed countries, a functioning road network has become a matter of course.
In those countries where development has still to be advanced, the importance of a functioning
road network is evident. Only with functioning connections between the partly remote agricultural
areas and the international trade centres, can migrations into cities be avoided. If goods and food
cannot be sold, people leave their rural homes and end up mostly in the slums of the bigger cities.
In particular, emerging nations and developing countries have this problem. A life of prosperity
and dignity is then no longer possible.
Roads are lifelines: They connect remote districts of a country as well as of a continent. In 1996,
the European Commission connected important cities with such lines and the Trans-European
transport network came into existence. Engineers and planners in Asia, Africa and Latin America
try to find solutions how gaps can be eliminated or the surrounding regions can be included
in to the road network. The closer a network is the better are the conditions for progress and
economic welfare.
The overseas development policy of the German Federal
Government recognized at an early stage that in remote regions
people can neither exploit their possibilities nor can businessmen or
tourists visit those regions. Therefore, road planning and design became
a central task of much international development aid. Meaningful secondary
effects were also triggered by such road construction: hundreds of workers could
earn a living in the corresponding regions. Also interested tourists became able to
travel to the formerly inaccessible places in upcountry areas.
For 50 years, Gauff has helped to connect people by operational road networks.

Germany – Marketplace Adelsdorf
The marketplace of the municipality of Adelsdorf was separated
from the residual heart of the town due to the highly frequented
federal road 470. Road 470 needed to be rerouted so that the
marketplace could again be utilized by the population. Gauff
Ingenieure developed several utilization concepts in order to
centre the marketplace for the municipality. After a public decision,
the preferred alternative was realized so that today the marketplace
of Adelsdorf is the city centre.
Zambia – Transport Corridor Southern Africa
The rehabilitation of the 203 kilometres long Livingstone-
Sesheke/Katima-Mulilo road is a section of a new transport corridor
between Walvis Bay in Namibia and Zambia which shall
serve the strengthening of trade and economy. The Zambian
Ministry of Works and Supply entrusted the execution of a feasibility
study to Gauff. The study also confirmed the economic
necessity of a 877 metres long bridge construction over the
Zambesi river. The project with construction costs of 23 million
Euros was realized in only 24 months. The project tasks of Gauff
Ingenieure included design, preparation of tender documents
and construction supervision.
Cambodia – Improvement of Traffic Infrastructure
In order to develop the economic growth of the rural population
of Cambodia, the Ministry of Rural Development in Phnom Penh
entrusted Gauff Ingenieure with the design of the extension of the
rural traffic network so that locally manufactured products could
be better marketed. Beside the design of the new development,
extension and maintenance of those routes, marketplaces and
schools were planned as well. The consultancy contract also
included construction supervision and organization of a road
maintenance department within the Ministry.
Tanzania – Mkapa Bridge
The existing road between Dar es Salaam and the southeast of
Tanzania which possesses a considerable agricultural potential,
runs about 160 kilometres in a southerly direction from the seaport
to the Rufiji river. Annual flooding caused the termination of
the ferry service for three months every year. In order to counter
the negative economic consequences, the government of Tanzania
approved the construction of a bridge with construction costs
of 25 million Euros. The consultancy involved a feasibility study
including flood hydrology, a hydraulic study to select the best site
for both bridge and flood plain crossing, design, construction supervision
and project management for the 970 metres long major
bridge construction with its up to 40 metres deep foundations.
Afghanistan – Road Maintenance, City of Kabul
Within the development aid for the war destroyed country, one
of the most urgent post-war tasks, especially in Kabul, was the
reconstruction of the roads for transport safety. Kreditanstalt für
Wiederaufbau by order of the Federal Ministry for Economic
Cooperation and on behalf of the Afghan government entrusted
Gauff Ingenieure with the maintenance of the city roads in Kabul
including the rehabilitation of rain water drainage channels. Beside
design and coordination, Gauff also took over the management
of all construction measures including the production of
bitumen compounds and their laying.
Germany – Federal Motorway A4 Nossen – Dresden-Nord
The extension of the motorway A4 was part of the traffic project
German Unity and targeted the improvement of the traffic situation
in the newly-formed German states. Within the 32 kilometres
long six lane extension, two motorway interchanges, six junctions
and eight large bridges were placed at a construction cost of
360 million Euros. Moreover, landscape conservation areas were
crossed needing special requirements concerning the water and
Germany – Federal Motorway Würzburg-Heidingsfeld
The six lane extension of the motorway A3 between Nuremberg
and Frankfurt was a component of the Federal Transport Network
Plan. Beside the enlargement of the existing four lane crosssection,
the extension includes the new design of drainage facilities,
the construction of noise protection facilities as well as
several large structures as for example the viaduct Heidingsfeld
and the Katzenberg tunnel. Due to the pipeline route in a water
protection area, special measures became necessary in order to
keep the water supply operational and for groundwater protection.
The measures were elaborated by Gauff and formed the
basis for the entire draft design.

The consultancy involved surveying, all design stages, sonic and
drainage studies, air hygienic expertises, landscape management
measures as well as data visualization of the bridge over the
valley Triebischtal.

TRACKS
Track systems are important arterial networks all over the world and especially
MOVING MASSES
ON TRACKS
in Europe where a close system of railway lines traverses the whole continent.
They became essential platforms and guarantee, especially for passenger
traffic, a fast, safe and economically viable means of transport. With regards
to goods traffic, the capacities are often not sufficient, even though the
technical standards and network coverage has increased enormously.
Mobility is a basic need of people. Mobility means economy. Never before,
have so many cars been driven on European roads as today; and the number
increases further. Since the 50s in Germany, the number of cars has grown
from three million to about 44 million today.
Only thanks to the railway system we have avoided total
gridlock, both in local and long-distance traffic. This is
also becoming more effective concerning goods traffic
which until now carries only a small part of the goods.
Today, railway tracks with a length of 40,000 kilometres
traverse the Federal Republic of Germany. On those
tracks, 340 million tonnes of goods and more than
2.2 billion people are carried annually. Safe, fast and
reliable! And non-polluting!
Already at the time of the invention of the railway, people
realized that the track is a low-cost means of transport
and that all classes of the population could obtain mobility.
Although for a long time underestimated, this “old” subject
is presently more important than ever before regarding air
pollution control and energy saving. Accordingly, rail trans-
port is the best possible solution. The track helps
preserve the environment, saves energy and is profitable
especially for goods transport. The transportation of heavy
load is often not possible without the railway.
During the recent past, rail traffic has become faster
and faster, more reliable and competitive. Due to cost,
economical but at the same time innovative solutions
had to be found. Drafting, designing, engineering and
realizing is one aspect. The other aspect is to keep up
with the dynamics of technical development. Today,
small electronic chips operate intelligently complete
signal systems; in former times, large manned facilities
were necessary for this. By means of telecommunication,
solutions are possible today of which we did not even
dream yesterday. Already, satellite-based solutions are
being implemented as standard. If a line is designed
today somewhere in the world, the extra-ordinary alliance
of long-term experience and latest technical know-how
are important.
Gauff is present and guarantees both things:
Long tradition and innovation.

Puerto Rico – Tren Urbano
San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, has an extremely high and
ever increasing population density. In order to counteract total
road gridlock, a new city railway, the Tren Urbano, was constructed
at an investment cost of 1.2 billion USD. Today, it is a highly
developed transport system. It connects all quarters of San Juan
as the main transport axis with a length of 17.2 kilometres and
14 railway stations and ranges as far as Bayamon. The consultancy
involved project management, implementation planning as
well as interface management of secondary sub-areas such as
maintenance and storage facilities as well as factories.

Germany – Regio-Tram, Kassel
After the implementation of the express route Hannover –
Würzburg and the new railway station Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe, the
old main railway station Kassel was only open to regional trains.
In order to achieve a better delivery for the areas surrounding the
main railway station, the project Regio-Tram (tramways run on
intercity railway tracks) was initiated. Through an existing
tramway tunnel, the passengers to and from the region on the
Deutsche Bahn tracks can now directly reach underground,
the old main railway station by tramway. GRE executed the complete
rail engineering equipment for this project with construction
costs of 10 million Euros.
Tanzania – Bridge Rehabilitation
The construction of the railway network in Tanzania reaches back
to the beginning of the last century. In 1906, the German East
African Railway Company started with the construction works of
the Central Line. The damages to the network due to the First
World War were but poorly repaired. During the years that followed,
priority was given to the extension of the network instead of necessary
rehabilitation. In order to determine the actual situation of the
Central Line with its more than 200 bridges, a study was commissioned.
On this basis, 87 bridges were rehabilitated as a priority.
The services of the 32 million Euro project included flood hydrology,
design, construction tendering and construction supervision.
Germany – NBS / ABS Nuremberg – Ingolstadt – Munich
In the course of the construction of the European high-speed rail
network, the corridor Nuremberg – Munich was newly developed
and extended with a design speed of 330 kilometres per hour.
For the 77 kilometres long section between Ingolstadt and
Munich, all design services for the complete rail engineering
equipment (electrification, telecommunication, four electronic
signal towers) were provided. Especially the adaption of the
existing track plan signal towers to the electronic signal towers
made high demands on the design which also involved the
complete operational design including all technologic procedures
required to “construct under operation”.
Germany – Trackages Hanseatic Harbour of Magdeburg
In the course of the traffic project German Unity, the harbour of
Magdeburg was developed and modernized. The company DUSS
(German Handling Company Road/Rail) constructed a bimodal
freight traffic terminal in a separate project. The harbour of
Magdeburg was equipped with an own 4 kilometres long track
network and connected with the bimodal freight traffic terminal
to enable the handling – water/rail/road. For this project (construction
costs 10 million Euros) the consultancy involved the
execution of all design and supervision services, starting with
the draft design until producing the documentation for all maintenance
groups.

Germany – Central Project Management Berlin
Before the division of Berlin, the original railway network was the
most modern network in the world. In order to meet the requirements
after German reunification, this network was modernized
and extended. The project management for the reunited Berlin
with construction and delivery costs of approximately 20 billion
Euros included the total time schedule and coordination of the
interfaces for over 250 single projects which included, amongst
other things, the north-south-connection, the main railway station
and the Potsdamer Platz tunnel, 75 kilometres of long-distance
rail, 65 kilometres rapid transit system sections, 39 railway stations,
14 tunnels, numerous new bridge constructions and bridge
rehabilitations, an ultra-modern maintenance facility for ICE trains
Germany – New Development of the Signal Tower Stendal
The German Railway company Deutsche Bahn AG started a large
modernization programme for safety technical section equipment
at the end of the last millennium. As a part of this, a new electronic
signal tower in Stendal with construction costs of 40 million
Euros was concluded. This project included the complete rehabilitation
of the associated track. The consultancy involved all design
services for these technologies including the adaptation from the
“old technology”; altogether, the programme contained more than
40 new signal towers. All planning was undertaken by GRE.
Hungary – Technical Assistance
Hungary is connected by direct railway lines with six of its
neighbouring countries including four Europe-wide track corridors.
Since the end of the nineties and in connection with the accession
of Hungary to the EU, the European Union provided considerable
subsidies for the rehabilitation and extension of the nation’s railway
lines within the programmes PHARE/TACIS and ISPA. In 2003,
the Hungarian Railway company MAV entrusted GRE with the
provision of technical assistance for the complete programme.
Within this, the accordance and compliance with the regulations
of the ISPA and the Hungarian public procurement law as well
as with FIDIC contract conditions were of particular importance.

harmonious so that people feel comfortable and secure:
at work as well as at home.
These masterworks can be found at airports and office buildings as well as at factories and
in the social housing construction. The art of form design consists of balancing the design of the
building fabric and the functionality. In all parts of the world it has to be decided on-site how
the ideas of the constructor can be harmonized with the basic conditions of the surroundings.
Designers are able to develop complex criteria and
are able to reply to all questions from those regarding
the construction material to the fitting in to the

regarding safety.
Balancing design, functionality, economy and quality
is the challenge for designers all over the world. Good
designers have the best technical knowledge and are
able to abstract, to control high complex processes and
to foresee risks. Shall a construction be even more than
this? For this, the best designers have to listen also to

ENVIRONMENT
CONSEQUENTLY IN LINE
WITH NATURE
Some 30 years ago, the first discussions about environmental protection
started – how much environmental protection we want or can afford.
Today, environmental protection concerns all of us and has reached all
aspects of our daily life. Environmental protection became the central
subject of our time. The future energy mix and the future position
regarding climate policy are thereby the centre of the attention.
In 1987, the former Prime Minister and later on Federal President
Dr. Johannes Rau quoted again and again: “We handle this
world as (though) we would have a second of it in the car boot”.
At that time, people sneered at him. A little later, in 1992,
the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit came up with the basis and
the frame for a worldwide climate policy, followed by the Kiotoprotocol
in 1997. However, all this was not really well understood
as some people were still standing aside and warned vocally
that we should not overreact.
Floods in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, forest fires in
Portugal and the destructive hurricane Katrina in the south of
the United States – the balance was devastating: People died,
hundreds and thousands became homeless and were stripped
of their livelihood. The economic damage cannot exactly be
numbered but amounts to billions.
By now, we all know that we have to face immense environmental
tasks: globally, regionally and locally. This includes
fighting against the increasing desertification and protection of
water resources, reduction of air pollution and of ozone killers
as well as re-orientation in energy policy. Only with concepts
which are in line with nature can we have success in using our
limited resources whilst keeping them for future generations.
“Tainted” rivers become a living environment for fishes again
and polluted meadows a home for rare animals and plants.
However, the protection of living environments is not everything;
environmental protection covers all working aspects of engineering
design. Today, no longer is design possible without considering
the effects on the environment. This concerns all sectors:
waste and waste water disposal, recycling of construction
material, traffic design, land rehabilitation and power supply.
Renewable energy sources such as wind power, hydropower,
wave energy and solar electricity are at the top of the list.
Already today, Gauff faces up to the challenges
and requirements of tomorrow.
