Geotechnical contractor Bauer performed work to upgrade the foundations of a historic building on an island in the middle of the River Neckar in Esslingen, Germany. The historic carpenter’s workshop will become a restaurant and market hall thanks to the 70 m long, 5 m deep anchored secant pile cutoff wall around the outside of the building and a soldier pile retaining wall carefully constructed within the building.

Comments Off on Nachterstedt Landslide in Eastern Germany, Three People Believed Missing
A massive landslide in the little town of Nachterstedt in Eastern Germany early on Saturday morning local time caused two houses to vanish into a nearby lake. Three people are believed to have been in the buildings at the time of the slide. Rescue efforts are still on going and had to be halted during the night but were resumed the next morning. Helicopters with infrared cameras and dogs were used to find the missing people, but with no success so far. Approximately 60 residents of nearby buildings had to be evacuated and put up in emergency shelters. (Photo by Spiegel Online) [Editor] More after the break. [/Editor]
