Rivers and torrents with flooding, erosion and debris flows phenomena present considerable threat in the environment, therefore effective design of measures and management is crucial. With changing climate conditions effective and professional? design of mitigation measures and river training systems will become even more important for protecting infrastructure, settlements, and also the protection of people’s lives. We also strive to take into account environmental issues and provide sustainable solutions with low environmental impact.

Slovenia is very prone to landslides, therefore efficient problem recognition and protective actions are very important. In the case of instability and landslide phenomena, professional and knowledge based design and implementation of mitigation measures are key to long term stability and cost-efficient solutions. All measures have to be correctly designed and all structures analysed for estimated design? stress.

Frequent flooding events and flood related damage with casualties lead to adopting flooding regulations at the state level. These regulations define methodology for flood hazard mapping. State of the art mathematical models and methods to simulate hydrological and hydraulic processes, combined with our extensive experience, are the base for reliable hazard maps. Hazard maps are then implemented in the spatial planning process and flood safe desing of structures.

Flood hazard mitigation measures often require more than just river training measures and include additional structures such as dikes and reservoirs. In case of malfunction, these structures present great hazard, therefore their design is challenging. The main goal is to ensure safe operation in all the possible scenarios. Proper hydraulic design and stability analysis are crucial for safe operation throughout life cycle of the structure.

Water power produced energy is one of the alternatives for the future energy supply. We provide complete documentation for the construction of new and reconstruction / rehabilitation of existing SHPPs. In addition to the operation of the hydroelectric power plant, it is also very important to properly place the facility along the watercourse, so that flood and erosion hazard of the area are not negatively infected. We also pay special attention to the adequate passability for aquatic organisms (fish passages, fish paths), so that the impact of the facility on the natural habitat of aquatic life is minimal.

Many sections of watercourses have in the past been subject to harsh interventions and arrangements for a variety of reasons. Some of these arrangements are no longer necessary and it is therefore possible to restore the state of the watercourse to its natural state - renaturation. The purpose of renaturation is to establish a natural habitat comparable to the situation before the interventions, while maintaining the erosion and flood protection of the selected section. Renaturation is usually a more demanding and expensive intervention, as often the intervention for the removal of buildings is more extensive than the construction itself.

Erosion process is most commonly flood related, but also other forms of erosion require efficient measures for long term slope stability and conservation of existing land use. Very often erosion results from non-professional design and construction of traffic and other infrastructure. In our work we apply state of the art methods and measures for erosion mitigation and geotechnical solutions.

Bridges present direct connection between traffic infrastructure and surface waterflows and are therefore, in case of non-professional design, the most probable point of flood related problems. We recognized that besides basic function of bridges, proper hydraulic design, connection with river channel and possible supporting structures for riverbed stabilization, slope stability and sediment control, are the most important condition for long term functionality of the bridge structure and its minimal effect on other areas and structures in case of a flooding event.

Roads and other traffic infrastructure is often designed in difficult terrains like unstable slopes, in the vicinity of torrents, on erosion areas and steep rock slopes with rockfall phenomena. We believe that besides basic transport function, all previously mentioned phenomena related problems have to be considered in the design process for the infrastructure to be efficient long term with minimal maintenance costs and natural hazard related problems.

To provide high-end professional consulting services, engineers must also be involved in research and development process. Therefore, our company is involved in various national and international research projects with local and foreign research partners. Inherently TEMPOS, environmental civil engineering Ltd is associate member of ICL (International Consortium on Landslides).

Construction process can be very stressful and energy consuming for the investor. When wrong decisions are taken, it can also be very expensive. High quality supervision consultant can provide professional, time efficient and high-quality construction process. Sadly, more often than not, the client recognizes the importance of supervision, when the project is over all the mistakes have already been made.

Based on our extensive experience we provide complete project management services for our clients. From design process, through all stages of planning and building, to successful completion of the project.
