Abschlusspraktikum: Weiterentwicklung der Verfestigung von Baggergut - Geowall

Are you ready to use your civil engineering knowledge to develop a circular building material? At GEOWALL, a Van Oord company and sustainable start-up, you will work on the further development of our paving stone made from dredged material. You will investigate its technical and material properties and explore how the product can be further optimised. Your research can help turn residual streams into valuable building materials and contribute to a more circular economy.
