Authority Engineering

Numerous laws and ordinances define the need for an Authority approval for the construction and operation of industrial installations, which are in the range of MMEC’s typically business activities. In Germany, the most relevant approval procedure is governed by the Federal Immission Control Act (Bundesimmissionsschutzgesetz, BImSchG) and related ordinances. The BImSchG aims at protecting population and environment from detrimental effects due to air pollution, noise, vibration, light, radiation, and similar emissions. Construction, modification, and operation of emitting facilities require a formal approval procedure. MMEC’s permitting supporting services enfold a wide range of services – starting from pure delivery of technical permitting documentation, and resulting in full execution of any permitting activities in front of the Authority on behalf of client.
