Wolfgang Kissel

As a Senior Project Manager in our Infra­struc­ture and Geot­ech­ni­cal Engineering division, Wolfgang Kissel is an expert in soil studies and foundation consulting. He has been involved in many major projects, such as the construc­tion of Terminal 3 at Germany’s inter­na­tional Airport in Frankfurt am Main and the subway line extension in Frankfurt’s “Europavier­tel” district. Currently, Wolfgang Kissel is planning and supervising the construc­tion pit for the FAIR particle accelerator in Darmstadt in Germany. The underground accelerator ring, with a circum­fer­ence of 1.1 kilometres, will support particle beams of unprece­dented intensity and quality, enabling physically unique experiments. Wolfgang Kissel's respon­si­bil­i­ties as a geot­ech­ni­cal consultant include designing the foundation, calculating the planned decoupled pile-raft foundation, and ensuring that existing research facilities are not jeopardised.

Wolfgang Kissel partic­u­larly values the variety and complexity of his projects at CDM Smith, as they allow him to apply his expertise across a wide range of areas while continually enhancing his skills. He understands the special circum­stances that each individual client has. When going about a new project, Wolfgang starts by taking each client’s unique situation and require­ments into account, developing a concept exclusively for the client, and embarking on planning and calcu­la­tions. The aim is to present the results in a clear and well-structured manner, ensuring that clients receive the best possible solution.
