Slope Stability - Slunj 2021

A slope stabilization system protects the historic landmark

 

Year of installation

2021

Initial situation

At the historical Slunj fortress, blocks of the limestone base collapsed. The ruins of Slunj were in danger.

Geology

Limestone

Description

The city of Slunj, the Croatian Government, and an EU fond were invested in rehabilitating the old fortress. It was stabilized with a concrete beam with nails then covered with a stone wall. Our part is the stabilization of the base of the fortress and the protection of people walking nearby. In a first step Spider S3-130 mesh with nails (32 mm, length 4 m) was installed. The protection of other areas of the slope with TECCO mesh G65/3 is planned.
