🌊🇪🇺 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

🎬 Here’s the video of our new experimental levee – unique worldwide!

✨ Memories of the European Researchers' Night in Bologna ✨

During this special event, we explained how sand boils form along the levees of the Po River and shared innovative methods to reduce the risk of embankment collapse.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us to explore these vital topics in science and engineering! 🌍🔬
