Situation
Beavers inhabit a creek that runs along a dike. Their digging activities had endangered the dike’s stability in several places.
Description
To ensure the dam’s stability, the beavers’ activities had to be restricted, and existing passages had to be filled in. For this reason, mesh (DELTAX G80/2 STAINLESS) was vertically integrated into the dam at a depth of 1.30 meters. This still allows beavers to create burrows in front of the sealed-off area and maintain their habitat. So, the dam body behind the mesh doesn't protect it.
