Architecture

How we are built.

Four layers of knowledge. Six steps of production. Sovereign data at critical infrastructure. Twenty capability areas, selected for VÆLARUM.

Architecture

Four layers.

Knowledge, competences, controls and production are separated. Connections between them are partly inherent, partly constructed.

L1

Institutional Knowledge Base

Bodies of Knowledge, standards, frameworks. Currently 47 BoKs across engineering, IT, quality, security, management and sector-specific domains — not invented, but located and kept in relation.

L2

Skills Bridge — SFIA 9

147 skills in 28 categories with 7 levels of responsibility. Bridge between people and capabilities. First-pass hypothesis: 97 skills mapped onto 20 capability areas.

L3

Controls Bridge — SCF 2025.4

1,451 controls across 33 domains, cross-mapped to 370+ sources (NIST, ISO, BSI, CIS, GDPR, NIS2). No content — a mapping layer that connects regulatory requirements to operational controls.

L4

Production Surface

476 card templates across 38 sectors, one design language, each template traceable to a normative source. Structured, versioned, editable — filled from the layers above.

Pipeline

Six steps.
Five of them remote.

Geometry becomes data, data becomes models, models become modules — and the modules travel, not the people. Only final installation requires physical presence.

— 01

Survey

LiDAR drone by courier or traditional on-site survey. Result: exact geometry as a point cloud (LAS / LAZ / PLY / PCD).

— 02

Scan

Emptied basins are scanned at high resolution. Vertical accuracy ≤ 5 cm, RTK / PPK-georeferenced.

— 03

3D Model

Point cloud → parametric model. Retrofit components fit the actual, not the idealised, basin geometry.

— 04

Simulation

CFD flow simulation shows the effect before fabrication. Customers see the change before anything is built.

— 05

Fabrication

Large-format FGF in GF-HDPE, robot-guided, modular up to 10 m diameter. Container fabrication moves production to the site.

— 06

Installation

The only physical step. Modules are assembled on site. All upstream phases stay central and location-independent.

Geometry
becomes model.

Model
becomes material.

Sector · Compliance

Critical infrastructure.
Sovereign data.

Survey data of water infrastructure is security-relevant. At KRITIS sites we work strictly offline and on-premise.

KRITIS · DE

BSI Act · BSI-KritisV

Water sector, Annex 2 BSI-KritisV. Obligations under § 8a BSI-Gesetz and IT-Grundschutz APP.3.1.

EU

NIS2 · 2022/2555

Transposed in Germany via NIS2UmsuCG, in force since 2025-12-06. Supply-chain obligations apply to us indirectly as a supplier.

EU AI

Regulation 2024/1689

Transparency duties under Art. 50 from 2026-08-02. AI-generated content and automation components are labelled accordingly.

Drones

EASA · DFS · dipul

Survey flights under EU Reg. 2019/947 and DFS geo-zones. SESAR / U-Space as a perspective for cross-border operations.

Capabilities

What we cover.

Twenty capability areas, each with its own knowledge base, competences and controls. Selected central fields:

Digital Engineering

AI · MBSE · Infrastructure

Model-based systems engineering, AI as a discipline, secure digital infrastructure.

Knowledge & Method

Knowledge architecture

Structures that make navigating unknown domains possible.

Business

Remote service · Regulation · Operations

Delivery across distance, compatibility with sector requirements, control of ongoing operations.

People

Intergenerational teams

Experience meets current tools. Universities as teaching and research partners, not customers.

Strategic

Funding spiral · Sector convergence

Programme logic instead of single projects. Cross-sector synergies as navigation instrument for blue-ocean fields between historically separated industries.

Structures, not promises — see how we work.

We deliver hydraulic boosters for clarifiers in Germany. The same knowledge architecture makes other sectors workable the same way.
