Aesthetic flood protection
Project data
| Project | Aesthetic flood protection |
| Completion | 2012 |
| Location | Garmisch-Patenkirchen Municipality |
| Purpose | Redesigned riverbed |
| Formwork systems |
|
| Special features | Out of 40 components, no two component were alike, and the formwork had to be designed individually at every point. One reason for this is that the concrete walls of the riverbed are folded in two planes: the first to follow the course of the river as it snakes through the town and second to form the U-shaped channel cross section. |
