Case Studies & Reports
Refurbishment of the concrete surfaces at Great Mühldorf Lake
The MAX FRANK self-adhesive, controlled permeability formwork (CPF) liner was used for the precast concrete elements to considerably increase the durability and service life of the concrete surface.

Scaffolding for Herbringhauser Dam
The Herbringhauser dam, which is over 100 years old, serves to supply drinking water to the city of Wuppertal. For the construction of the dam over 100 years ago (1898 to 1901), 42,000 m³ of Grauwacke quarry stone were used. In 2004, the ... [more]
Reinforcement of the Folsom Dam in California
Completed in 1955, Folsom Dam is located on the American River in northern California, approximately 40 km northeast of the city of Sacramento. The 100 m (340 ft) high and 430 m (1,400 ft) long dam creates the Folsom Reservoir that has a ... [more]
