Before avalanches and debris flows come, there is protection against them.

The two villages of Blitzingen and Grafschaft are also exposed to the whims of nature. That is why the Volken Group is currently building an earth-reinforced protective dam against avalanches and debris flows at Hilperschbach on behalf of the municipality of Goms. The dam consists of around 3,500 cubic meters of solid earth. In order to be able to work quickly, a new road to the construction site first had to be leveled - with a slope of up to 33%, great precision and caution were required. Now the supporting structure is being built on a horizontal, well-compacted subgrade - exactly according to the instructions of the system supplier SYTECH. The project will be completed with embankments made of wet seed and a seed mixture suitable for the location. All in all, a demanding construction site, as work has to be paused in the event of heavy rain - a challenge for the Volken Group, but not an obstacle.
