Services
We aim to make complex deep foundation questions easier to access. Clients, designers and users should be able to reach robust answers quickly – technically precise, clearly communicated and always grounded in practicality, economy and constructability.
Design and assessment of foundation systems with a strong focus on pile foundations – safe, transparent and closely aligned with built reality.
Digital workflows that connect geometry, design logic and planning information in a consistent and project-ready way.
Tools for AutoCAD, Excel and web environments that automate demanding design tasks in a reliable and efficient manner.
Subsurface Information Modeling
Creating three-dimensional subsurface models is one of the services provided by Ingenieurbüro Hylla. We bring together investigation, stratigraphy, groundwater and design data in a transparent specialist model and deliver the results in the format best suited to the project: IFC, DXF, PDF and an interactive web view.
This makes complex ground information clear and directly usable, including for project participants without specialist expertise. As a pioneer at the interface of geotechnical engineering, BIM and software, we support clients from structuring the data through to practical application – please feel free to contact us whenever we can help.
Software
Our solutions are designed to handle complex design spaces efficiently. For each load point, users can define the maximum number of piles permitted and the admissible diameters. Based on these constraints, the software automatically identifies the most economical design.
DHPM supports BIM-oriented planning processes in deep foundation engineering directly within the familiar CAD environment. The tool connects model data and engineering tasks in a clear, dependable workflow.
DHPD is built for fast, structured design work. Boundary conditions can be defined directly, alternatives can be compared safely and economically optimised solutions can be generated without unnecessary manual effort.
The web-based version is intentionally reduced in scope, but it still goes beyond many standard approaches in one key respect: it allows all piles of a structure to be designed in a single run for both lateral and axial loading.
Optimised pile layouts do not only reduce material and cost. Compared with conventional standard designs, the daily CO₂ savings are approximately equivalent to the emissions of a combustion-engine passenger car driving once around the globe.
Online Tools
Our free online tools support design, geometry and access to technical data. Start in your browser with the reinforcement cage generator or pile bending design, and explore more tools in the overview.
Currently Available
The reinforcement cage generator supports the configuration of bored-pile reinforcement cages with 2D and 3D previews plus PDF, DXF and IFC export. The collection will be expanded step by step whenever a recurring practical need arises and a tool can be provided in a useful and maintainable way.
The tools do not replace verifiable engineering design, but they can be useful as starting points, plausibility checks or training and communication aids.
Technology
While many standard tools treat load cases in a more isolated way, our approach is deliberately centred on the structure as a whole. This creates solutions that are especially valuable in practice: transparent, efficient and optimised with respect to both cost and resource use.
“We do not just want to calculate. We want to make deep foundations understandable, economical and digitally manageable.”
That attitude shapes both our engineering services and our software products. Working with us should feel technically demanding in the best sense, yet also clear, supportive and straightforward.
Contact
We welcome enquiries from engineers, consultancies, contractors and project teams looking for technically strong yet straightforward support. Direct exchange matters to us – helpful, solution-oriented and always focused on the actual task at hand.
