Screw piles comprise one or more rod-shaped foundation elements, generally made of steel, which - depending on their geometry - are driven, pressed, or screwed into the ground. Load is transferred pri

Earthen construction comprises construction products, such as earth plasters and earthen boards. In addition, load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls can also be constructed as rammed earth walls. In

In recent years, the industrialisation of earth block production has led to further technical development of earth block masonry. Earth block masonry is made from earth blocks bonded by earth mortar.

Ground anchors are prestressed anchor systems for transmitting tensile forces into the load-bearing ground, e.g. for anchoring shoring systems or slope stabilisation. Ground anchors consist of tendons

Jet our high-pressure grouting serves to produce structural elements (jet-grouted elements and/or jet-grouted bodies of soil made of jet-grouted elements) in the soil. These procedures are soil-streng

Soil reinforcement systems serve to secure escarpments. Steel wire meshes and grids, steel strips and geotextiles are used as reinforcing elements. They act via friction and interlocking with the surr

For these wall construction techniques, precast concrete elements fitted with reinforcement are filled with in situ concrete. For applications comprising precast elements, lattice girders may be used

These facades with mechanically fixed external wall cladding are usually rainscreen cladding system (in accordance with DIN 18516-1) with cladding elements that are fixed mechanically to the subframe,

Facades with bonded external wall cladding are generally ventilated external wall claddings (in accordance with DIN 18516-1) where the cladding elements are bonded to the subframe profiles using an in

To create (load-bearing) surface seals in storage and filling facilities for manure, slurry and silage effluent (MSS facilities) and biogas storage and filling facilities (biogas SF facilities), liqui

Drainage pumps for drainage systems are used for lifting greywater or foul water, which can contain different components of organic, inorganic or mineral origin. Drainage pumps for drainage systems ar

The term surface protection system covers a range of different types and designs. Besides polymer-containing coatings for concrete structures, organosilicon compounds can also be used as water repelle

Grout is used for filling ducts for internal bonded tendons or sheaths for external tendons. It serves to establish a form and interference fit between the concrete and the prestressing wires and to p

Injection products and systems are used for repairing concrete structures. A distinction is made between different repair objectives. The filling objective 'Closing (crack width control by filling)' i

Racking systems are structures for storing and retrieving goods in warehouses. The goods to be stored are usually placed on pallets or in grid boxes. Metal products and construction techniques

Joint seals are mainly used for elements made of waterproof concrete in accordance with the DAfStb guideline on waterproof concrete structures to seal the joint against soil moisture as well as pressu

Waterproofing beneath ceramic tiling bonded with adhesives refers to waterproofing systems consisting of multiple components (tile adhesive, surface waterproofing, sealing tapes and collars for flashi

An inverted roof is an arrangement in which the thermal insulation system is positioned above the roof waterproofing. Due to this special 'upside down' arrangement, both the insulation products (XPS a

Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing systems are composed of an in situ insulation layer made of spray polyurethane foam and a surface protection layer. The systems are used for roofs that are walk-o

Construction techniques and construction products (usually XPS, EPS or foam glass boards) for perimeter insulation of walls and basement floors in contact with the ground must meet special requirement

Insulation products under load-bearing elements (outside the waterproofing) must not only have special thermal insulation properties, but also meet structural requirements. Frequently used products in

Insulating render systems contain, apart from the usual render components, aggregates such as polystyrene, perlite or an aerogel. The insulation performance achieved in this way is comparable to that

Combined pile/slab foundations are defined in DIN 1054:2021-04 as geotechnical composites consisting of a foundation slab and piles or diaphragm wall elements. This form of foundation engineering is u

Soil injection products are products used for injection into the subsoil as a pore injection for sealing soil for geotechnical purposes (e.g. construction pit sealing). Earth work and foundation engin

Ancillary components and accessories comprise all construction products which, in addition to masonry units and mortar, are needed for the erection of masonry structures. These construction products a
