Company Profile

Soil and water are elementary resources of our planet. Dealing with them in a responsible manner is an essential component for our future and that of our descendants. To guarantee this, it is necessary to harmonise the often opposing interests of industrial and infrastructural development and undamaged environment. The IHU GmbH espouses the cause of supporting the decision makers by competent, independent assistance in all question of the following different faculties:

-

Hydrogeology

-

Environmental geology

-

Engineering geology/geotechnics

-

Water management/hydrology

-

Spatial Information systems

We are an enterprise that is founded and run by experienced scientists and engineers. It has successfully operated on the market for more than 10 years. Our headquarters are in Nordhausen. Regional presence and acting near our customers are guaranteed by our branches in Halle/Saale, Dresden, Berlin and Bad Salzungen. Fifty employees, mainly highly qualified engineers and scientists (geographers, geologists, mathematicians, computer scientists, Dipl.-Ing. for geotechnics, deep drilling technique, water management, geoecology), are also available for solving of most difficult tasks. In this way, long-term experience is connected with innovative working methods. Here we apply mathematical models of groundwater currents and the material transport and of the one- and two-dimensional current in surface waters, precipitation-runoff-models and spatial information systems. Furthermore, we independently develop highly specialised software for solving of hydrogeological tasks, e.g. the graphical pre- and postprocessor CADSHELL for the groundwater models MODFLOW/MODPATH/MT3D and PVSIM, a program for complex analysis and evaluation of pump experiments.
