Plant Planning and Plant Optimization
In the planning of waste facilities, the ICU partners look back on extensive experience.
In particular, composting and fermentation plants for biowaste and green waste as well as plants for the mechanical and biological treatment of residual waste were planned and supervised during all phases of the project.
The planning work of the ICU is done on the cutting edge of technology and science. After choosing the most economical basic concept including peripherals, ICU delivers forward-looking and qualified planning, taking into account all economic and licensing aspects, in particular state-of-the-art emissions protection.
From often accompanied plant implementations, the ICU engineers have the necessary practice-oriented know-how to ensure maximum environmental friendliness, economic efficiency and operational safety in new planning.
Thanks to modern communication technology and relevant CAD equipment, ICU can implement planning tasks in every detail.
For existing waste treatment facilities, ICU develops and manages process optimization based on availability, the market-oriented quality of the materials applied, emissions and work safety.
Landfills - Contaminated Sites - Component Planning
Landfill technology, remediation of contaminated sites and structural engineering are among the central tasks of the ICU partner engineers. Through years of successful processing and implementation of projects in these areas of work, ICU has been able to build comprehensive and in-depth know-how.
In addition to the implementation of new, final and reorganization planning for settlement, special waste or operational landfills including the necessary engineering services in the course of the structural implementation of measures, we develop as an engineering community adapted solutions for all waste disposal areas in different fields of activity. These include e.g. the adapted deconstruction and the rearrangement of old landfills, the assessment of the environmental relevance in the course of licensing procedures, the preparation of management concepts or business management reports for aftercare and landfill operations.
Projects in the field of environmental remediation are planned by us from the exploration to the execution phase with special consideration of economically justifiable targeted solutions and are accompanied and supervised technically up to acceptance.

Studies and concepts
In the development of waste management concepts and integrated recycling measures, ICU engineers have translated the priority sequence "reduce-recycle-eliminate" into workable and cost-effective solutions.
In the countries of Central Europe, a comprehensive "collection culture" for recyclable waste materials has developed in recent decades - here the tasks of the ICU in the update according to recent legal requirements and technical knowledge or in the "fine tuning" of logistics. The development and evaluation of conceptual and technical solutions resulting from the implementation of th EU-regulations and their national regulation continue to show strong momentum.
In countries whose waste management is in the process of being built, ICU delivers tiered concepts that follow economic and social development.
In the course of climate change, the use of renewable energy sources is gaining in importance, which also includes the organic share of waste. This aspect is becoming increasingly prevalent among the municipalities, with the result that ICU is developing optimized collection and utilization concepts in this direction

Biomass and Climate Protection
In the course of climate change, the use of renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly important, which also includes the organic part of the waste.
This aspect is becoming increasingly prevalent among the municipalities, with the result that ICU is developing optimized collection and utilization concepts in this direction.
From ICUs point of view, at least the proportionate receipt of humus-forming substance, which limits purely thermal utilization options, must always be kept in mind in the usage approaches. All energetic utilization options must be evaluated in their overall ecological impact and developed into a balanced, substance-specific combination solution.
Although the activation of biomass as an energy source has a respectable potential, it also clearly shows that in our current habits at least two-thirds of our energy consumption can not be provided by biomass. In the future, there will be very significant changes in the general awareness of energy consumption that ICU is able and willing to contribute to the experience of active public relations work.

Project Management
For large projects, such as the construction of new waste facilities, many municipalities use the experience of the ICU in project control.
Here, ICU provides support eg in
• the creation of an organizational structure including information system and project manual
• scheduling and control
• quality management in the form of planning review
• coordination meetings with preparation, discussion and protocol
• financial control, review of contractual obligations and invoices
• coordination with licensing authorities
