In the resort town of Valstagna will be made in the rockfall, but without having to open a kind of hollow place
of Gianni Celi
The project is ready, just missing the green of the Superintendency of environmental goods, after which the wall that encloses the village of Valstagna, in the resort known as Lora Low, and always continues to create some concern to the inhabitants of the houses below, will finally be made safe. This is an important intervention whose cost is borne by the Province to the tune of one million 326 thousand Euros. Of this there were already concerned last year when the Administration and the population had valstagnese square against the first proposal for a project for the area. They envisage the creation of a range of about five hundred meters in length to achieve which would have had to remove half a million cubic meters of material. All this would mean the daily presence from fifty to 150 trucks per day, for several years, along the back roads up area of \u200b\u200bthe common people of the valley, the provincial government and Campesan Valsugana. To mitigate this impact had also thought of installing a cable car, by Lora down through the river to get trucks full of material at the old power station in the territory of San Nazario. After a series of meetings with the then provincial commissioner on soil conservation, Constantine Toniolo, and with the population, has come to a different setting of the work. In fact the project, prepared by Ing. Stevan John, engineer of the Province, provides that there are measures in place without removing stones or earth.
"We decided to proceed with the installation of a whole series of lines rockfall - explains the designer - not just a consolidation in the wall with the system of networks that are able to reduce the volumes of hypothetical collapse. The lines will also affect the terraced retaining walls higher. Everything is ready and we are just waiting for the approval of environmental goods because we are in an area subject to landscape. As soon as you get the clearance to proceed with final design resulting in a contract of work. "
Former councilor Toniolo, hours spent in the region, announced the start of work by the end of summer and Eng. Stevan In fact, confirmation.
One thing is certain and that is that will not be removed even a crumb of the material who has accumulated over the centuries behind these walls. "There will be a final solution - the mayor of Valstagna Angelo Moro - but certainly would not have accepted a devastating impact. For four or five years we had to endure the continuous passage of hundreds of trucks on our streets. "
"We are proceeding in parallel with the design of Valstagna - explains the engineer. Stevan - and in this case it will work by installing rockfall barriers without the need to remove material at the base of the walls. " As part of this expenditure will be around around 462 000 €.
