Hang slip risk in Boppard: all -clear for the L 207 after examination!

On January 24, 2025, the Koblenz police headquarters reports on a successful all -clear regarding a danger point in the Boppard Mühltal. After an incident with several smaller stone strokes and a small slope brutch, the L 207 road was released again today. The situation had been reported by the Boppard police the night before, and immediate measures were initiated.

The analysis of the geologists of the State Office for Geology and Mining Rhineland-Palatinate (RLP) confirmed that the previous weather conditions were to blame for the rock exits. Water had penetrated columns and had expanded in frost, which led to the smaller slides. However, geologists estimate that no larger departures can be expected. Therefore, both residents and the driver are not in danger.

causes and dangers of slope slips

slope slips are usually triggered by strong rainfall. The penetrating water means that previously hard -bound soil layers loosen up. Gravity and a decreasing detention between the layers are the factors that can ultimately lead to slipping the slope. Other causes are erosions, mining, earthquakes and thawing permafrost floors.

Light slope slide can not only cause cracks in the masonry, but also damage windows or glass doors. When moving the slope slip, there is also a risk that buildings get into the inclined position or tip over. Such incidents bring high buttons for building damage.

preventive measures and behavioral information

In order to reduce the risk of building damage in slope slides, various preventive measures should be taken. This includes, for example, the waiver of construction projects on slopes with a risk of slope and careful observing the soil quality of the building ground. In addition, buildings that are built in slopes should be well stiffened and anchored in solid soil layers.

In the event of impending slope slips, it is advisable to pursue current weather reports and observe the slope carefully. In the event of signs such as cracks or lowering in the ground, a possible evacuation may be necessary. In an emergency, important things such as medication and documents should be kept ready.
