Uferbau
Uferbau refers to the construction and design of embankments, riverbanks, and coastal structures intended to stabilize shorelines, protect against erosion, and manage water flow. These structures are essential in both natural and urban environments to mitigate the risks posed by flooding, wave action, and sediment transport. Uferbau encompasses a variety of techniques, including the use of retaining walls, revetments, breakwaters, and vegetation-based solutions.
In riverine settings, Uferbau often involves the construction of reinforced embankments to prevent bank collapse and
Modern Uferbau practices emphasize sustainable and eco-friendly approaches, such as the use of natural materials like
Regulatory standards and engineering guidelines govern Uferbau projects to ensure safety and compliance with environmental laws.
