Initial situation

To provent floods from driftwood in the Röthenbach area a special dam with barrier was planned at the Toblebach torrent.

Description

To protect the sliders of the barrier against felling with wood, the protective net was placed on the water side. In this project we also supported the planners in the design of the network and during the installation.
