As one of the leading engineering consultants in this field, KBB has a large portfolio of reference projects in which it was either directly involved or represented by former subsidiaries in Germany and the USA. These projects include the world s largest strategic oil reserves in Germany and the USA, as well as some of the largest salt cavern storages operated for the seasonal storage of natural gas. November 2004 saw the activities of Kavernen-Bau und Betriebs-GmbH especially the underground engineering taken over by KBB Underground Technologies GmbH (KBB UT), but with no change in its location in Hannover. KBB UT works very closely with DEEP. Underground Engineering in Bad Zwischenahn. KBB UT and DEEP. have a total workforce of around 150. All of the activities carried out by both companies are strictly controlled by occupational health and safety measures, as well as continuous professional training.
