Management

Uwe Dannwolf and Anke Heckelsmüller comprise the Management of the company, founded in 2009.  Both experts combine their highly developed technical competencies and applied knowledge to their work. Our management team demonstrates how the protection of natural resources can be harmonized with the economic interests of the economy. Our varied scientific backgrounds ideally equip us as experts for undertaking  a diverse range of risk assessment projects and incorporating creative new ideas.

Uwe Dannwolf

Uwe Dannwolf takes his role as managing director earnestly and naturally. His international outlook motivates him to work on long term project commitments out of country and overseas. He spent eight years on the investigation and evaluation of coal and gold mines in Australia, for example. He was also involved in the investigation and remediation of brownfield sites for over two decades. Dannwolf managed complex remediation projects, especially in bedrock formations. He was the acting project director for 15 years on one of the largest brownfield remediation projects for the US Army worldwide. This assignment, which resulted in the successful clean up of the site using chemical oxidation (since 2015 also through the i-SAV© technology) , in addition to a successful in-situ thermal site remediation project, attests to his extensive expertise.

His passion for complex projects has been dominated by risk evaluation projects for over 15 years. Dannwolf’s expertise was relied upon to evaluate the financial and liability risks of many commercial and industrial properties of national and international corporations. He developed and implemented risk assessment- and management systems on large international projects such as geothermal plants, mines, pipelines, tunneling projects, carbon captures and storage technologies, harbour facilities, toy safety, hazardous waste landfill depots, waste incineration for power facilities, nuclear power plants, etc. Uwe Dannwolf taught risk management for economic engineers at the University of Pforzheim from 2010 to 2012, and has been teaching at the University of Rottenburg since 2013 to 2016.

Anke Heckelsmüller

Anke Heckelsmüller has been applying her competencies as a geologist in the fields of environmental- quality-, and risk/benefit- risk management  since 1996.

She acted as a well versed project director in the high profile „Fracturing “project on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Environment, Conservation, and Nuclear Safety.

She is actively engaged in workshops and educational exchanges to promote and follow through on environmentally relevant topics and goals.
