100% form and force-locking gap compensation in hydraulic steel construction: Metal polymer supports dam management at Sylvensteinsee A former village sunken in Sylvensteinsee reappears: Alt-Fall in Upper Bavaria (Germany). Because for regular maintenance at the dam, the water reservoir near Lenggries had to be drained. Thus, after half a century, the foundations of the then flooded place came back to light. One of the maintenance challenges was to overhaul the guide rails of the dam's roll-up roller shutters, ensuring a 100% force-locking connection of the newly installed reinforcement on the guide rails. The Sylvensteinspeicher is much more than an ordinary lake. "Far" is the apt word: the Sylvensteinspeicher extends with a length of seven kilometers and a width of two kilometers along the road from Bad Tölz to the Achensee. As Bavaria's most important water reservoir, it forms the backbone of water regulation for the entire Isar Valley and thus also for the state capital and Oktoberfest metropolis Munich. In dry season, it ensures the adequate water supply of the Isar, which makes it ecologically indispensable for the entire area. The dam of the lake stands on one of the Isar over time filled with debris and up to 100 meters deep erosion channel. With it the Sylvensteinspeicher dams up the side of the Isar and their side inflows Dürrach and Walchen. Its two hydropower plants generate 25 million kilowatts of environmentally friendly electricity every year.
