We have well-established safety measures in place to protect our employees and the environment.
Work began in May 2021 and will be completed in the fall of 2023: The Volken Group is building a gigantic flood protection project in the Baltschiederbach - together with the companies Rodio and Valjetting. The middle barrier was completed last September. This includes a desander and the detour of the stream back to its original course. In addition to 1,300 tons of steel for the reinforcement and 100 tons for the installation, a total of 19,000 m3 of facing and mass concrete and 18 m3 of ultra-high-strength concrete are being used. A tower crane, various large excavators, large dumpers and a walking excavator with a drilling carriage are being used to bring in these materials. This is a challenging construction site, as walls are being erected at a height of 20 m and with an incline of up to 30 degrees, meaning that a climbing formwork has to be used. In addition, the water supply for the municipality and the Baltschieder fish farm must be ensured during the 1.5-year stream relocation.
