Immissionsmodellierung für Überbauung «Nauentor»

An zentraler Lage am Bahnhof Basel SBB sind anstelle des heutigen Postbetriebsgebäudes Wohnungen, Büro- und Dienstleistungsflächen geplant. Wir wurden mit einer Modellierungsstudie beauftragt,um mögliche Überschreitungen der Immissionsgrenzwerte an dieser städtebaulich sensiblen Lage zu prüfen.

Environment

Our experience ensures that environmental concerns are always taken into account in accordance with statutory regulations and ecological requirements.

The unavoidable impact of large-scale construction projects on the environment is a sensitive issue in this day and age. Environmental planning plays an important role as a supplement to the usual planning activities.

For many years now, our experienced specialists have ensured that environmental concerns receive all due consideration in every planning and implementation phase with regard to legal regulations and ecological requirements.

Our service spectrum includes environmental impact assessments (EIA), environmental construction supervision (Umweltbaubegleitung, or UBB) including pedological construction supervision (Bodenkundliche Baubegleitung, or BBB), surface water development and renaturation as well as special expert reports and plans on noise protection (including construction noise), air pollution monitoring (including emissions modelling), waste disposal and nature conservation.

Questions and answers on environmental planning

What role does environmental planning play in the development of sustainable infrastructure projects?

Environmental planning ensures that construction projects have the least possible impact on the environment. This is not only dictated by ecological requirements. There are also legal requirements for dealing with the environment that those responsible must adhere to.

At Rapp, we employ specialists with expertise and experience in environmental planning. They are aware of the legalities and know exactly what to look out for in order to avoid legal consequences. They are also trained to treat nature responsibly.

Our environmental planners take various environmental concerns into account during the planning and construction phases. These include, for example:

Nature conservation
Air pollution control
Groundwater protection
Construction physics
Noise protection

Construction physics can have a major impact on the environment. Among other things, optimised thermal insulation can reduce energy consumption.

Soundproofing that fulfils the requirements also has a positive effect on the environment. This is because buildings and constructions that emit a great deal of noise can confuse animals and, in the worst case, jeopardise their existence. Effective soundproofing, such as noise barriers, can make the acoustics tolerable for wildlife.

Similarly, sound and vibrations emanating from a large number of cars or a factory can have negative effects on people. They therefore also benefit from soundproofing measures in environmental planning.

Among other things, our environmental planners prepare environmental reports, carry out environmental impact assessments and develop protection concepts. Once the construction work is underway, our team ensures that it is carried out in an environmentally friendly manner.

Environmental protection laws have been in force in Switzerland since the 1980s. They regulate the permissibility of interventions in animate and inanimate nature. They are constantly being adapted, which is why it is important to work together with experts. This is because our employees are always up to date on the latest regulations.

We would be happy to provide you with comprehensive information about the environmental planning services we can provide as part of your construction project. Please contact one of our locations by phone or email.

What specific environmental aspects does Rapp take into account in its environmental planning projects?

When it comes to environmental planning, various aspects need to be taken into account. Among other things, it must be checked whether the materials intended for construction may be harmful to the environment. During renovations, care must be taken to ensure that building pollutants such as asbestos and harmful chemicals such as PAHs are properly removed. Clean air and groundwater must also be ensured during construction work.

Our specialists take measures to ensure that your construction project is as environmentally friendly as possible. For example, they prepare environmental impact reports. As part of this, they examine the impact of a construction project on the environment. They also determine whether the applicable environmental protection laws are being complied with.

During construction, for example, attention must be paid to nature conservation and noise protection. Efficient concepts must also be developed for the disposal of waste and wastewater. Where possible, roof surfaces should also be greened to create new habitats for plants and animals. We focus on these and other aspects in our environmental planning.

We are also available for environmental construction monitoring and pedological construction monitoring. In this function, we advise the construction management on environmentally relevant aspects. We monitor whether the concepts designed in the planning phase are fully complied with.

What expertise and experience does the Rapp team bring to environmental planning?

Our team of specialists has many years of experience in the preparation of environmental impact reports. This means you can be sure that we take all relevant aspects into account. Our team also has extensive expertise in noise protection, air pollution control and waste management.

In addition, our expertise includes knowledge of building pollutants and the renaturalisation of bodies of water. Furthermore, we are well versed in the practical realisation of ecological outdoor space designs and green roofs.

Knowledge of nature conservation and environmental law is not the only thing required to carry out environmental construction monitoring. The experts must also be familiar with construction technology. They should also know how the construction management in question works and how specific construction measures are carried out. Last but not least, they should be able to communicate clearly with all parties involved.

If you commission us with the environmental planning of your construction project, you will benefit from the fact that our team is multidisciplinary. This means that you receive the above-mentioned services and many others from a single source. Then Rapp is at your side throughout the entire project and you only have one contact person.

How are the results and recommendations of Rapp's mobility consultancy evaluated and monitored to ensure their effectiveness?

In order to monitor the recommendations of the environmental planning, we offer environmental construction monitoring. It is the task of our specialists to provide the construction management with comprehensive advice on environmental issues. They also carry out regular checks to ensure that the project is implemented correctly.

We place a particular focus on compliance with all environmental requirements. This is not only important in order to make a significant contribution to environmental protection. It also helps building owners avoid legal problems. Because violations of environmental laws can be severely penalised. For less serious offences, a fine may be imposed; in serious cases, those responsible may face a prison sentence.

Our services for the correct implementation of environmental planning also include the training of construction site personnel. This way, everyone involved knows what to look out for and what to avoid.

Finally, our experts assess whether the environmental protection measures are effective. If this is not the case, corrective steps must be taken. Of course, we are also happy to help you with this.

Would you like environmental planning by Rapp? Please contact us. In an introductory meeting, we will clarify how comprehensive the services you book with us should be. We will then go into detail in the subsequent comprehensive consultation.
