About the company
Dr. Dietrichs & Sohn GmbH is a family-run special civil engineering and engineering consultancy based in Bad Freienwalde (Schiffmühle district), Brandenburg. Founded in 2009 through the merger of Ingenieurbüro Dr. I. Dietrichs with Büro für Baugrundverbesserung (BfB) Nils Dietrichs, the company offers tailored technical solutions to prevent or halt the settling and cracking of building structures and to stabilise subsoils. Core services include micropiles as small-diameter bored piles in accordance with DIN EN 14199 with diameters under 30 cm, environmentally friendly screw foundations made of galvanised steel pipes without the use of concrete, as well as building and foundation underpinning. In addition, subsoil investigations, geotechnical reports, soil improvement by means of stabilisation columns and concrete columns, and foundation retention are carried out. The 13-member team works nationwide for residential construction, commercial and industrial construction, renovation, landscaping, solar installations and container construction.

Quality
Work is carried out in accordance with recognised standards such as DIN EN 14199 for micropiles and the guideline for the production, design and quality assurance of stabilisation columns; single-bar GEWI piles comply with approval Z-32.1-2. For screw foundations, a project-specific type approval is currently required; a building authority approval is expected.
