🌊🇪🇺 The experimental levee of the LIFE SandBoil project is here!
We are now ready to start testing innovative solutions against backward erosion piping, one of the most dangerous phenomena for levee stability.

👉 This pilot levee is unique in the world and a true flagship for Italy: it will help improve the safety of our rivers and the communities living nearby.

💡 Special thanks to our partners University of Bologna – DICAM, AIPO, EDUVIZIG and Maccaferri for their essential support and contribution! In collaboration with OST - Ostschweizer Fachhochschule
