Translation of "Avalanche barrier" in German

From spring 2012, the system will be one of the first in Switzerland to feed emission-free solar power from an avalanche barrier into the local grid.

From Trin, you will hike in the shade of trees along the old alpine trail until you also reach the Platt'Alva avalanche barrier.

The avalanche barriers to the right protect the settlement of Airolo below.

These are the avalanche barriers used to protect that section of the village down below.

Right above the path we can observe some massive avalanche barriers.

Technical measures include protective structures, such as avalanche barriers or rock fall nets, but also monitoring installations and early warning systems (including precautionarily blowing up avalanches).

The building permit was approved by the canton of Valais in late October 2011 – as a result, a new PV system is now being installed on the avalanche barriers found in the ski region of Bellwald.

Anchoring works have been going on at the avalanche barriers, and soon the first rows of structures will be positioned with the help of a helicopter.

These measurements and decades of data management today provide a valuable basis for resolving many practical questions, such as determining the snow reliability of a specific region or finding an ideal balance between the costs and benefits of preventive measures (avalanche barriers, temporary closures, snow load standards).

The Swiss photovoltaics pioneer TRITEC has become involved in the construction of a pilot system designed to generate solar power on existing avalanche barriers.

Thereby EWS can be compared with and evaluated alongside other protective measures, such as rockfall nets and avalanche barriers, in order to identify cost-effective strategies for minimising risk.

Once you reach a small valley, full of debris and rocks on the right, the path leaves the centre of the valley and climbs up on the right along a debris cone with close hairpin bends and passing by a few avalanche barriers.

We will use this pilot system to test whether the avalanche barriers are suitable for the installation of photovoltaic systems,« René Dirren, Director of EnAlpin AG, said.

Areas of the room police law, the planning and building laws and regulations, the forest law (insb of the torrent and avalanche barriers), the water right as well as the private neighbor right were included.

The artist originally came up with this pictorial concept in Davos, inspired by avalanche barriers on the Schiahorn mountain above Parsenn.

Structures typically found in the Swiss Alps include mountain railway and cable car stations, pylons, restaurants, mountain shelters, water pipelines, avalanche barriers, telecommunication facilities, snow sheds and railway tracks.

In the 13 municipalities with around 5,000 inhabitants it has established beacon projects such as a fleet of electric cars for tourists, photovoltaic installations on avalanche barriers, wood-chip heating systems and wind power plants.

In conjunction with the Expert Commission on Avalanches and Rockfall (EKLS), the SLF has formulated a set of recommendations containing specifications and criteria to be considered for the installation of solar panels on avalanche barriers.

The ideal solar irradiation in high alpine regions holds potential for very high output levels: The research project in the ski region of the Valaisan village of Bellwald will lay the foundation for an economically efficient and ecologically sensible use of photovoltaic systems on avalanche barriers.
