NEWS & STORIES
Working at DAHLEM has many facets: here we tell you about the people, the challenges, and the things that make our projects special.
Water shortages in Barbados, the largest wastewater pumping station in Germany, or an old oak tree that threatens to derail a million-dollar project—our project teams have exciting, impressive, innovative, and even curious stories to tell. Everything up close and personal, without compromise, from the world of engineers, designers, technicians, construction supervisors, and everyone at DAHLEM.
Ann Katrin Gies began her career with an apprenticeship as a draughtswoman. However, she wanted to work on solutions herself and, after successfully completing her apprenticeship, decided to study civil engineering. Ann Katrin Gies started with us in Darmstadt as part of her mandatory internship and is now a new project engineer at DAHLEM – a success story.
Team events are a tradition at our company – the dragon boat race on Lake Baldeney in Essen has been part of this since 2007. With just under 200 employees, this event provides an opportunity to engage with colleagues whom one rarely encounters. The motto: Step outside your comfort zone!
We know all about power lines. However, it is our experience in civil engineering that has qualified us, as civil engineers from the water management sector, as project partners of AMPRION for the kilometers of power lines that are being laid as underground cables in the “Wehrendorf–Gütersloh” project, project number 16 of the Energy Line Expansion Act.
The easternmost island of the Lesser Antilles suffers from water shortages: despite annual rainfall of 2,000 mm, there are no major bodies of water here. In future, water resources will be used more wisely: the sewage treatment plant in Bridgetown will be able to treat water to such an extent that it can be used for agricultural purposes or to replenish groundwater reserves.
