Overview
OHF Hafen- und Flussbau GmbH is a German construction company specialising in hydraulic engineering, port construction and river works. The company has been active since the beginning of 1987, offering its know-how and technical equipment from its base at Siemensstraße 8 in Au am Rhein, in the district of Rastatt in Baden-Württemberg. It is registered at the local court of Rastatt under HRB 967 and is managed by Wolfhard Neu, who is also responsible for the content of its website. The company's work programme covers water construction from planning through to project handover, including conversions, refurbishment and repair measures. Its declared focus is on structural hydraulic engineering: quay walls, ship loading and transhipment facilities, bank revetment structures built with sheet piling in both vertical and combined forms with inclined embankments, and culverts (Düker) for river and harbour crossings using pull-in and float-in methods. To carry out these works, OHF operates a fleet of specialised equipment including hydraulic pontoon platforms with cable or hydraulic excavators, crane motor vessels, self-propelled hydro hopper barges, drilling pontoons, push and tug boats, barges, vibratory piling equipment in all sizes and dynamic piling rigs. OHF's reference projects illustrate its niche in German inland and port infrastructure. They include access bridges and ship access stairs for Evonik at its Wesseling site, sheet piling works for Schrott Wetzel at the Rheinauhafen in Mannheim, munitions search works at the Main bridge in Offenbach, an avoidance dolphin at the Mosel lock at Fankel, a ship berth at the Schluchsee dam, a mobile pontoon for BASF SE in Ludwigshafen, a ship loading platform at the Industriehafen Mannheim, a loading platform for Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH at Wesseling harbour, and a pipe bridge. These projects show a client base of industrial companies, port operators and public waterway infrastructure along the Rhine, Main and Mosel. As a privately held, owner-managed company, OHF does not publish detailed financial information. Its market is primarily Germany, with a concentration on the Rhine and its tributaries where its floating equipment and piling expertise are most relevant. The company positions itself as a specialist contractor able to execute large projects quickly and with the required precision, combining engineering planning with its own marine construction plant.
History
OHF Hafen- und Flussbau GmbH has been offering its know-how and technology since the beginning of 1987. The company was established as a specialist in hydraulic engineering and has remained an owner-managed private company. Its registered office is at Siemensstraße 8 in Au am Rhein, a municipality in the Rastatt district of Baden-Württemberg, close to the Rhine. It is entered in the commercial register of the local court of Rastatt under HRB 967, and its VAT identification number is DE 811 459 125. Wolfhard Neu is the authorised managing director and is also named as responsible for the content of the company's website. From its base on the Upper Rhine, OHF has built a portfolio of water construction projects along major German waterways. Its work programme covers the entire range from planning to project handover, including conversions, refurbishment and repair. The company's declared emphasis is on structural hydraulic engineering: quay walls, ship loading and transhipment facilities, bank revetments using sheet piling in vertical or combined form with inclined embankments, and culverts for river and harbour crossings built by pull-in and float-in methods. To support these activities, OHF has assembled a fleet of specialised floating and piling equipment, including hydraulic pontoon platforms with cable or hydraulic excavators, crane motor vessels, self-propelled hydro hopper barges, drilling pontoons, push and tug boats, barges, vibratory piling equipment in all sizes and dynamic piling rigs. OHF's reference list documents projects for industrial and infrastructure clients. These include an access bridge with ship access stairs for Evonik at its Wesseling site; sheet piling works for Schrott Wetzel at the Rheinauhafen in Mannheim; munitions search at the Main bridge in Offenbach; an avoidance dolphin at the Mosel lock at Fankel; a ship berth at the Schluchsee dam; a mobile pontoon for BASF SE in Ludwigshafen; a ship loading platform at the Industriehafen Mannheim; a loading platform for Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH at Wesseling harbour; and a pipe bridge. These references indicate a client base of chemical and industrial companies, port operators and public waterway authorities, and a geographic focus on the Rhine, Main and Mosel river systems. The company remains active and privately held. It does not appear to be part of a larger listed group, and no parent company or owner other than its management is indicated in the available sources. Its market is primarily Germany, where its combination of engineering planning and owned marine construction equipment allows it to execute large hydraulic projects quickly and precisely.
