A pilot project at altitude: renovation of the forest road

Wind and weather also leave their mark on mountain roads. This is why the Volken Group specialists, together with a team from Voweg, are currently renovating and extending the forest road and the one-sided sweeping area at Grimselboden. They are replacing seven existing cross channels with ten new ones, removing 630 m3 of organic cofferdam material, creating 1700 m2 of rough grading, laying 1700 m2 of geotextile and excavating 520 m of pointed trench. The special feature of this pilot project is that the 650 cubic meters of backfill material required for this is being processed directly at the Engi extraction site. Using a mobile crusher, which also screens the material and produces it in accordance with standards. As soon as the covering material is also interspersed with lime and moistened, trucks transport all the building materials to the site, where they are then installed, leveled and compacted.
