Engineering Suite

Planning certainty from the very first figure

A continuous toolkit for everyone who plans, operates and secures infrastructure: from hydrology through layout and costs to structural design – traceable, reproducible and offline-capable.

The planning chain

From rainfall to structure

  • JUMBO BLOCK Hydro

    Retention volume to DWA-A 117 and infiltration to DWA-A 138-1, with KOSTRA-DWD-2020 data and location search.

  • JUMBO BLOCK Plan

    Turns the requirement into a module layout and shows how the installation fits beneath the site.

  • JUMBO BLOCK Design

    3D model of the installation with dimensions, section and exploded views; export as IFC, DXF and STEP AP242.

  • JUMBO BLOCK Budget

    Quantities, materials and initial cost estimate – transparent figures for committee decisions.

  • JUMBO BLOCK Static

    Structural verification of the installation, even for several hundred modules. Calculation as an engineering service on request.

  • JUMBO BLOCK Temp

    Temperature and heat balance of the underground infrastructure. Calculation as an engineering service on request.

One project file (project.dbm) runs through all tools. Each tool adds only its own data and secures the file with a checksum, keeping the planning traceable from start to finish.

For whom

One toolkit for everyone involved

  • Planners

    Continuous tools instead of media breaks between hydrology, structure and costs – reproducible calculations across the full planning depth.

  • Municipalities

    Reliable bases for funding applications, heavy-rain and climate-adaptation concepts – with a view to decades rather than years.

  • Industry

    Forward-looking planning of retention, water reserves and site protection – documented, verifiable and standardised.

  • KRITIS operators

    Tools for traceable evidence and digital resilience – from encrypted data storage to incident reporting.

For emergencies

KRITIS tools that work without a network

When systems fail or are compromised, a crisis team still has to be able to work. The KRITIS tools run offline in the browser – even from a USB stick – and need no installation.

  • Logbook

    Encrypted situation log with staff functions S1–S6 and hash chain

  • Report

    Reporting deadlines under NIS-2, KRITIS-DachG, CRA and GDPR

  • Cert

    Own certificate authority and TLS certificates for emergencies

  • Crypt

    Encrypt and sign files and texts

  • Check

    Checksums for files and folders

  • Inventory

    Device and network register with recovery order

  • Vault

    Offline password vault

  • Rescue

    Bootable rescue stick

JUMBO BLOCK Office

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the JUMBO BLOCK Engineering Suite?

A browser-based collection of engineering tools at jumboblock.org: hydrology, layout planning, 3D design, cost estimation, structural and temperature analysis, plus office and KRITIS tools. All tools run locally in the browser, work offline and are bilingual.

What does the Engineering Suite cost?

Hydro, Plan, Design and Budget as well as the office and KRITIS tools are free to use. Structural and temperature calculations are prepared on request from your project file.

Is my project data uploaded?

No. The tools process all data locally in the browser. Projects are saved as a file (project.dbm) on your computer and protected against unnoticed changes by a checksum.
