About THYSSEN SCHACHTBAU
THYSSEN SCHACHTBAU GMBH, based in Mülheim an der Ruhr, is a specialist company for shaft sinking, mining services, and planning and engineering services in underground construction. The portfolio includes sinking, refurbishing and abandoning of shafts, freezing and injection methods for ground freezing and rock consolidation, surface and underground drilling technology, raise boring, roadway drivage, ramp and inclined shaft excavation, cavern construction, raw material extraction, and the construction of underground infrastructure up to permanent shaft hoisting systems as turnkey general contractor services. In the engineering field, the company offers mine planning, mechanical engineering (including headframes, skips, bus bars/sets), electrical engineering, structural analysis and structural design for steel and reinforced concrete structures, as well as geotechnical engineering. These techniques are also used in tunnel construction and in underground hydroelectric and pumped-storage power plants. THYSSEN SCHACHTBAU GMBH is part of the internationally active THYSSEN SCHACHTBAU Group with more than 1700 employees, whose company history dates back to 1871 and which has remained family-owned throughout. Reference projects include, among others, the horizontal full-face boring at the Morsleben repository and the Rohdenhaus trial mine for Lhoist.
