Our services
In-depth precision and expertise
We specialise in connecting geothermal systems down to depths of 2500 metres, an area known as medium-depth geothermal energy. We also explore raw material deposits such as salts, rare earths and nuclear waste repositories at depths down to 3000 metres. Our portfolio includes complete solutions for deep drilling – from planning support to all-round service. Discover our broad range of services:
Geothermal energy
An inexhaustible source of power
Geothermal energy can be divided into three categories: shallow geothermal energy (up to 400 metres deep), medium-depth geothermal energy (up to 2500 metres) and deep geothermal energy (over 2500 metres). While shallow geothermal energy is mainly used to heat individual houses, residential areas or industrial complexes, deep geothermal energy also makes it possible to produce electricity and extract salt as well as generate heat. Medium-depth geothermal energy is considered particularly effective and has great potential, especially for major industrial companies. To drive forward the energy transition, the government is promoting medium-depth geothermal energy projects. Find out more about the various benefits:

Sustainable and reliable
In contrast to fossil fuels, medium-depth geothermal energy is a practically inexhaustible resource. It is also less dependent on the weather than other renewables, which means it can provide a continuous, reliable flow of sustainable energy.
Efficient and profitable
Technology in the field of drilling techniques and geothermal facilities is evolving at a rapid pace. Ever larger quantities of energy can be extracted from ever deeper layers of the earth’s crust – a highly profitable business that is extremely efficient and cost-effective.
Eco-friendly and minimal emissions
Compared to fossil fuels and some other types of renewable energy, medium-depth geothermal energy produces very low quantities of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, which helps reduce the environmental impact and combat climate change.

Our customers
The right solution for every situation
Our broad expertise and extensive range of services enable us to meet the needs of a wide variety of key customers – from public sector clients to industrial and mining companies. Please feel free to contact us!
unsichtbar
Public clients and municipal utilities
We reliably partner public clients and municipal utilities by developing made-to-measure solutions for responsible borehole design, drilling sites and everything related to drilling that boosts energy efficiency and promotes sustainability.
Industrial companies
We help industrial companies to optimise their heating infrastructure and create an additional line of business by selling their waste heat, which cuts operating costs and drives sustainability.
Partially privatised companies
Companies with a partially privatised structure can benefit from our expertise in storing heat underground in order to optimise their energy supply and be prepared for future requirements.
Mining and raw materials extraction companies
Our exploration drilling with state-of-the-art equipment enables the mining industry to discover untapped resources, efficiently exploit deposits and minimise their environmental impact.
Authorities throughout Europe
We contribute to the safe storage of nuclear material through exploratory drilling by identifying and characterising suitable disposal sites – fully in line with our commitment to environmental protection.
“I look forward to helping you plan your borehole and developing the best technical option. That includes the entire range of planning services from setting up the drilling site to construction scheduling and completing the borehole.”
