7,800 metric tons of rock in the battle against the forces of nature

At the Kalpetran South rockfall protection project, our team is protecting the valley from falling rocks with a nearly 400-meter-long protective embankment.


Right in the danger zone and immediately adjacent to the railroad tracks, we’re installing 7,800 metric tons of rock and 5,100 cubic meters of backfill material. This requires the utmost concentration with every move. This is exactly where our #TeamVolken shows its true strength. With our combined experience and state-of-the-art technology, we master extreme conditions and provide long-term safety for the local community.
