Flood protection in Saalfelden, Austria

Austria

Saalfelden

The Urslau River is flooding every year between the mountains around town of Saalfelden and causes considerable damages to nearby buildings. Flooding is at worst in the springtime when the snow melts. Construction of protective structures began in 2012 and due to cost (around 40 Million Euros) estimated duration of the project is 15 years. In order to build concrete protection structures in dry condition the sheet pile walls needs to be built along entire river course in the city of Saalfelden. Sheet pile lengths vary with maximum length 12 metres.

Piling specialist Rachbauer utilizes Movax Side-Grip Piler SPH-80 on Komatsu carrier. The Side-Grip is proved to be especially useful on this project were parts of the sheet piling was installed under the bridges. On those locations the piles are driven in 5 metres splices and extended by welding until required depth was achieved.
