THOMAS AHLBRECHT
Vice President, Operations
Thomas was fascinated with the unknown world of the underground because his home was near a coal mine and he could only see the surface buildings. So he decided to study mining engineering and became a coal miner in the collieries of the 1980’s working for a contractor. After some years working on roadway headings underground, a 500 m deep shaft was being excavated in Austria and Thomas had to bring that site back on track. Since then he became a shaft sinker and has worked on some special projects such as the deepest V-mole shaft in Germany with 1260 metres and achieving new records. He also started ground freezing in Hong Kong – a first time for him. Today, Thomas is part of the SBR team sinking two shafts in Belarus, as well as being responsible for many major and small shaft jobs of Redpath Deilmann.
