About Haupt Ingenieure
Haupt Ingenieure GmbH is a private hydraulic laboratory in Bern that gives customers confidence when dealing with complex hydraulic questions in hydraulic engineering. Its core competence is conducting hydraulic model tests, in which hydraulic structures and works are reproduced as scale models and examined against various parameters – such as flow velocity, water depths, erosion behaviour and air entrainment. The company specialises in three core areas: river engineering, hydropower and municipal water management. Complementing the experimental analyses, CFD simulations (Computational Fluid Dynamics) are offered, among other things for the visualisation of flow processes and the quantification of hydraulic parameters. The range of services includes project design, visualisation, optimisation of hydraulic structures, hydraulic verification and expert opinions, consulting as well as research-based analyses. The model tests are carried out by the two hydraulic engineers Raphael and Simon Haupt (MSc Environmental Engineering, ETH Zurich), with practical experience at the VAW Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology of ETH Zurich and the University of California, Berkeley.
