What AEP Planung und Beratung GmbH does

AEP Planung und Beratung GmbH is an Austrian engineering consulting firm headquartered in Schwaz, Tyrol, operating as a subsidiary within the BKW Engineering network — the largest engineering services network in the DACH region. Founded in 1999 and employing 48 people, AEP delivers infrastructure planning and consulting services across six integrated competency areas: Kulturtechnik + Wasserwirtschaft (water management and municipal infrastructure), Energieversorgung + Umwelttechnik (energy supply, district heating, broadband, EV charging), Alpintechnik + Schneeanlagen (alpine and ski-resort infrastructure), Baumanagement + Hochbau (construction and building project management), Verkehrswege + Freizeitanlagen (transportation and recreational infrastructure), and Ressourcen + Verfahrensmanagement (resource and process management including environmental impact assessments). Its service offering spans the full project lifecycle from feasibility studies, permitting, and environmental impact assessments (UVP) through detailed design, construction management, site supervision, and commissioning, with BIM methodology and a proprietary Digitales Leitungsinformationssystem (LIS) supporting infrastructure documentation.

The firm is led by three managing directors — Robert Wendlinger, Anita Lendl, and Mario Seebacher — and operates as an authorized engineering office holding statutory permissions in cultural engineering, water management, mechatronics, landscape planning, biology, and avalanche/wildbach protection, in addition to a Baumeister (master builder) license. Revenues are earned through project-based professional services engagements with municipal governments, public infrastructure clients, energy utilities, ski resort operators, and private construction clients, primarily in Austria with broader DACH reach channeled through the BKW Engineering network. Service pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm also offers ancillary billable services including grant/funding application processing (Förderungsabwicklung), surveying via laser scan and GPS, and ÖVGW W85/W88-compliant operation and maintenance manuals for drinking water supply systems.
