On the initiative of Eickhofer Heide GmbH & Co. KG, an orienting investigation (OU) is being carried out on the old armament site "EIBIA - Werk Karl" Liebenau in the district of Nienburg in coordination with the Ministry for the Environment, Energy, Construction and Climate Protection and the district of Nienburg on the basis of the historical investigation. The conversion area is located directly on the edge of the villages of Liebenau and Steyerberg.

The old Liebenau armament site "Werk Karl" covers an area of approx. 1,000 ha with a wide variety of uses both before 1945 and until the 1990s. Only one third of the entire site is suspected of being contaminated. For the majority of the old Liebenau armament site "Werk Karl", i.e. for about 670 ha of a total of about 1,000 ha, there is no suspicion of contamination. Significant parts of the former armament site "Werk Karl" have been used for decades as drinking and industrial water catchment areas to a considerable extent.

On the property there are more than 400 almost completely preserved buildings, 80km of paved truck roads, 30km of railway tracks and a goods station.

For the OU, an investigation concept was available for the investigation measures at the EIBIA - "Werk Karl" armament waste site in Liebenau, in which the previous investigation results were summarised, a deficit analysis was carried out and, derived from this, measures for further investigations were recommended.

The present investigation concept was examined, concretised and specified by M&P and will now be implemented in coordination with the district of Nienburg, the Hildesheim Trade Inspectorate, the Ministry for the Environment, Energy, Building and Climate Protection as well as the property owners and the technical project manager IABG.

As part of the OU, explosive ordnance, soil and groundwater investigations are being carried out at the EIBIA armament site - "Werk Karl". The work on the OU began in the first quarter of 2021 with the review of the documents handed over and the examination of the investigation concept. The site work began with the construction of the planned groundwater measuring points in April 2021. The explosive ordnance and soil investigations began in May.

Mull & Partner Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH is carrying out the OU in cooperation with the technical project manager IABG. Partial services were awarded to subcontractors and sub-subcontractors.
