What Aquasoil Engineers & Geologists does

Aquasoil Engineers & Geologists (legal name: AQUASOIL INGENIEURE & GEOLOGEN GmbH) is a privately held German engineering consultancy founded in 2001 and headquartered in Westheim, with regional offices in Berlin, Stuttgart, and Tiefenbach (Passau). The firm specializes in geotechnical, hydrogeological, geothermal, environmental, and civil engineering services, with core practices spanning earthwork and foundation engineering, geotechnical calculations, hydrogeology and water management, numerical 2D/3D groundwater flow and transport modeling, geothermal energy system design, contaminated sites assessment, civil and road construction planning, and custom software development. Technical delivery relies on industry-standard simulation packages (FEFLOW, EED, GED, Hydro_AS-2D, Hydra, HEC-RAS) supplemented by in-house custom software built on SQL Server and Oracle. The company is led by four Managing Directors (Thomas Löschke, Peter Schätzl, Frank Wenderoth, Theo Westhoff), all holding advanced German engineering or geology degrees.

The firm operates a B2B, sales-led professional services model, generating revenue through project-based consulting engagements with enterprise infrastructure, industrial, and public-sector clients. Documented enterprise clients include Deutsche Bahn (Stuttgart 21, Munich S-Bahn, ABS Nuremberg-Ebensfeld), BMW (seasonal high-temperature aquifer heat storage at Dingolfing), Berlin Brandenburg Airport (groundwater modeling and energy piles), WINGAS (Jemgum-Oude Statenzijl pipeline), and research institution LIAG. Geographically, the firm serves the German market exclusively via its four office locations, with no evidence of international operations. Distribution is direct: project wins are sourced through professional referrals, partnership networks of 12+ engineering and planning firms, the company website, and industry events. No pricing is publicly disclosed and the firm does not report revenue; there are no funding rounds, acquisitions, IPO plans, or external investors identified. Governance is founder-/management-controlled, with ownership resting with the four Managing Directors.

Core offering

AQUASOIL INGENIEURE & GEOLOGEN GmbH is a German engineering consultancy that plans and implements projects in geotechnics, earthworks, foundation engineering, hydrogeology, water management, numerical groundwater modeling, geothermal energy, civil/road construction, and soil/contaminated-site assessment. The firm combines field exploration, geotechnical calculations, and custom numerical modeling to support infrastructure, industrial, and public-sector clients throughout Germany.

Product overview

AQUASOIL INGENIEURE & GEOLOGEN GmbH is an engineering consultancy offering specialized geotechnical and hydrogeological services. The company operates as a unified service portfolio rather than a platform-based product model. Services include Earthwork and Foundation Engineering, Geotechnical Calculations, Hydrogeology and Water Management, Numerical Modeling (groundwater flow and transport simulation), Geothermal Energy consulting, Civil and Road Construction Planning, Soil and Contaminated Sites assessment, and Software Development. The numerical modeling services utilize tools such as FEFLOW, EED, GED, Hydro_AS-2D, Hydra, and HEC-RAS for simulation work.

Broad incumbents

• Stantec: Global engineering and environmental consulting firm with sizable European water, environment, and geotechnical practices serving infrastructure clients — same buyer universe as Aquasoil in larger RFP contexts.
• WSP Global: Large global professional services firm whose engineering and environment segments (including Golder, Wood Environment & Infrastructure) directly compete with Aquasoil on geotechnical, groundwater, and environmental infrastructure mandates.
• Tetra Tech: International consulting and engineering firm focused on water, environment, and sustainable infrastructure — competes on environmental site assessment, contaminated sites, and water modeling work similar to Aquasoil's offerings.
• Tractebel (ENGIE): European engineering consultancy with practices in water, environment, and infrastructure energy including geothermal — broad-overlap player competing for many of the same German and EU infrastructure assignments.

Direct peers

• Arcadis: Global design and engineering consultancy with deep German and European presence in water management, environmental consulting, and geotechnical engineering services — direct overlap with Aquasoil's mid-to-large infrastructure mandate profile.
• Bauer AG: German foundation engineering specialist active in geotechnical services, earthworks, and dewatering/groundwater control — competing for the same earthwork, foundation, and dewatering mandates on German infrastructure.
• Ramboll: Danish engineering consultancy with strong German and European water, environment, and geotechnical practices delivering groundwater modeling, contamination assessment, and infrastructure design services directly comparable to Aquasoil's portfolio.
• Fugro: Dutch-headquartered specialist in geotechnical, geophysical, and hydrogeological site characterization and consulting, competing directly for the same subsurface modeling, foundation, and infrastructure-project mandates.
• Golder Associates (now WSP): Historically a dedicated global geotechnical, environmental, and groundwater consulting firm (now part of WSP), offering the same coupled groundwater-geotechnical modeling and contaminated site services as Aquasoil to infrastructure and industrial clients.

Emerging players

• Hydrock (now Stantec): Specialist UK-based geotechnical, environmental, and geoenvironmental consultancy (acquired by Stantec) with comparable discipline mix in geotechnical calculations, contaminated land, and groundwater for infrastructure projects.
