Slope protection with an earth retaining system: respectful of natural resources and the landscape
Heavy rains in June 2018 damaged a road between Echternach and Berdorf (Luxembourg) so severely that it had to be closed. The river along the road below it destroyed the existing stabilisation structures, such as retaining walls and gabion walls, and ...
