About Geotechnik Tauchmann
Geotechnik Tauchmann GmbH is an engineering consultancy based in Wels with a location in Steinhaus near Wels (Upper Austria), specialising in soil investigations, subsoil reports and hydrogeology. The company supports clients and planners across all project phases – from subsoil exploration using small-diameter drilling, excavation pits, rotary core drilling, dynamic and static probing, through geostatic calculations and the design of excavation pit retaining structures and special foundation engineering measures, to geotechnical construction supervision and structural evidence documentation. Further areas of activity include hydrogeology and water law (including infiltration systems, groundwater usage, geothermal systems), Hydro Services and Risk Engineering with natural hazard risk analyses, as well as environmental engineering with contaminated site reports and an in-house geotechnical laboratory. Customers come from construction, infrastructure, commerce and industry as well as water management. Activities extend across the DACH region.
