Taberg Engineers

What Taberg Engineers does

Taberg Engineers (TABERG Ingenieure GmbH) is a German engineering services firm founded in 2003 and headquartered in Lünen, North Rhine-Westphalia, with a second office in Trier. The company delivers environmental, mining, and geotechnical engineering services, organized around three specialist practices: subsoil and soil mechanics, geotechnical measurements, and rock engineering and rock mechanics. It serves approximately 500 customers and executes around 230 projects per year from a staff of 42, led by Managing Directors Dr.-Ing. Rainer Scherbeck and Dipl.-Ing. Sebastian Grawe. Taberg is a member of the SIERA Alliance, an engineering network within the M&P Group.

The firm's core technical assets include a proprietary MRZB probe crawler system and an in-house soil mechanics laboratory, supported by three doctoral-level specialists. It holds ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety, valid through 2029) certifications, which pre-qualify it for regulated public-sector infrastructure tenders. Notable engagements span coal-mining rehabilitation for RAG Aktiengesellschaft, water-management work for Emschergenossenschaft Essen, the Amprion BalWin1/BalWin2 offshore wind grid connection projects, and infrastructure assignments for the City of Düsseldorf and Deutsche Bahn.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, with multi-year framework agreements and discrete tender wins across mining rehabilitation, energy infrastructure, and public-works sectors. Customers are concentrated in regulated utilities, public-sector authorities, and federal infrastructure operators in Germany. Revenue derives primarily from specialized geotechnical consulting, measurement campaigns, and engineering studies rather than from software or product sales.

Direct peers

• T&P Beratende Ingenieure: Munich-based SIERA member providing environmental and geotechnical engineering. Same network, similar size band and similar service portfolio centred on contaminated land and infrastructure.
• M&P Umwelttechnik GmbH: Heidelberg-based SIERA member (formerly IBL Umwelttechnik) focused on environmental, demolition and geotechnical services. Direct sibling in the M&P group with overlapping contaminated-site and remediation work.
• M&P Ingenieurgesellschaft: Lead member of the SIERA Allianz/M&P Group with overlapping environment, geotechnics and water-management services across Nord/West/Ost German offices. Direct sibling in the same network and the most natural comparison point for Taberg's service mix.
• seecon Ingenieure: Leipzig-based SIERA member providing water, environment and geotechnical engineering. Comparable German SME scale and similar mix of contaminated-site, waterway and infrastructure consulting.
• ICP Ingenieure GmbH: SIERA member specialising in geology, hydrogeology and geotechnics with multiple German offices (Zentrale, Eifel, Südpfalz, Rhein Main, Karlsruhe, Leipzig, Altusried). Overlaps Taberg directly on field investigation, soil mechanics and contaminated-site work.
• Prof. Burmeier Ingenieurgesellschaft (BIG): Hannover-based SIERA member offering geotechnical, environmental and infrastructure consulting. Comparable SME profile with similar PhD-led technical positioning.

Broad incumbents

• CDM Smith: Global engineering firm with a German water, environment and geotechnical practice. Competes on large municipal infrastructure, water and remediation programmes similar to those Taberg executes for Emschergenossenschaft and municipal clients.
• WSP in Germany: WSP's German earth and environment practice (incorporating the former Golder) competes with Taberg on contaminated-site, mining and infrastructure geotechnics, particularly for international clients with German footprints.
• Arcadis: Global design and engineering consultancy with a large German environment and geotechnical practice. Competes for the same enterprise and public-sector tenders Taberg targets, but at much larger scale and broader scope.
• Fugro: Global leader in geotechnical site investigation and offshore geotechnics. Competes with Taberg on larger infrastructure and offshore-wind ground-investigation campaigns and defines the international best-practice benchmark for the field.
