Technical Planning

The work at the Asse mine at surface and underground is performed within the framework of constructional measures. They are planned within the area of "Technical planning" in co-operation with the areas of the Asse Mine to be considered and then summarised in budgeting documents. These are submitted to the Oberfinanzdirektion (OFD) Hanover and to the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Affairs (BMVBS) for technical review. After that, the budgeting documents are forwarded to the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) for financial review and approval of the planned constructional measure.
