Layout 1UGT is proud to be an active partner in the process to practically realize with economic projects – especially with our worldwide known lysimeter stations – this corridor of industrial clusters – thus being a driving force in the dialogue between innovative people that work together to create trust and cooperation and further develop the well being of human beings by economic growth under sustainable environmental conditions.
Focus of UGT economic activities is the development, fabrication and sales of highly innovative equipment for environmental monitoring. Target of the project “New silk road” is the development of a reliable measuring network. This work is realized in very narrow cooperation with the Helmholtz-centre for environmental research – UFZ GmbH with main seat in Leipzig. Our key work consists in the development, construction and adaption of lysimeter stations.

Lysimeter can collect all parameters of the water and mass balance of the respective catchment online. This brings environmental monitoring into a new quality. The UGT stations can monitor by the respective clima measuring technique the whole circle.
UGT was founded 23years ago and has always been a very good partner of high ranking scientific institutes within Germany and abroad. UGT is also a partner for industry and engineering companies in the environmental field.
