Water barriers at Krvavec prevented the worst
The flexible water barriers for controlling torrential waters, which we built at Krvavec last year, proved to be extremely effective during this year’s storms.

Demanding slope rehabilitation to ensure safe access to the village of Loje

The project, commissioned by the Municipality of Škofja Loka, was carried out as part of a […]
