In 1979, Dr. Gerhard Sauer established the 'Büro Dr. Sauer' in Salzburg, and started to develop value engineering designs based on the high cost-effectiveness of NATM (New Austrian Tunnelling Method) compared to conventional construction methods.
In 1984, after several productive years in Austria, Germany and other European countries he expanded operations by opening new offices in Washington, DC and London.
The team in Washington was one of the first Austrian consultancies to design NATM tunnels in the United States whilst the London office was formed just as NATM was starting to make its way into the United Kingdom's expanding tunnelling market.
