After attending school, he studied civil engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology . In 1939, after graduating, he was drafted into military service and released again in 1941 after being wounded. He went to the Technical University of Karlsruhe as an assistant, where he received his doctorate in 1944, he was head of the laboratory for hydromechanics and in 1948 was appointed operations manager of the Theodor Rehbock river engineering laboratory. In 1950 he completed his habilitation in the field of agricultural hydraulic engineering, lectured and in 1951 became head of the cultural engineering department at the Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Management at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology . In 1957, in recognition of his activities in teaching and research, he was appointed an extraordinary professor. In 1963 he was appointed to the Scientific Council and in 1968 to the Head of Department. Bleines published on the basis of his own research work on hydraulic processes in crash structures as well as on problems with channel and pipe hydraulics. In 1967 he carried out studies on the culvert and in 1968 on the culvert. In the last years of his activity he mainly dealt with questions of groundwater hydraulics.
