Initial situation

Frequent rockfall posed a risk to the district road K6132 between Uttenhofen and Tengen near the Swiss border. In this area, trees are under special protection and rare animals like the red kite nest here.

Description

Seven installations of TECCO® G65/3 and TECMAT® secure the overhanging structure of the slope today. Also, a 2 meters high gap-filling solution was erected on a rock outcrop. The protected slope heights are between 4 and 18.5 meters. A total of about 5,000 m² of TECCO® were installed.
