The Engineering Association for Contaminated Land Management and Land Recycling (ITVA) is an engineering society. The ITVA was founded in 1990 "on the initiative of committed renovation specialists from East and West and with the support of the then Federal Environment Minister Töpfer as a politically and economically independent technical-scientific association". According to its own account, it is the only nationwide committed information and communication platform for specialist political issues in the fields of contaminated site management and land recycling . It pursues charitable purposes.

The seat of the association is Berlin; the office is located on Invalidenstrasse .

Working aids, guidelines, recommendations for action, statements, further training offers and materials for public relations are developed in specialist committees. Symposia for contaminated sites are held annually. The ITVA also publishes the specialist organ old burdens spectrum .

The ITVA is increasingly addressing the problem of ordnance , which also includes approx. 70 years after the end of the Second World War, damage to people and property, especially during construction work. For this purpose, a new explosive ordnance disposal specialist committee was set up, "which aims to sensitize those affected and those involved in the subject of ordnance, to show the links with the areas of land recycling and occupational safety, and finally to provide assistance in practice and enforcement."
