Natural stones/ Stones for hydraulic structures

Sustainable natural stones and stones for hydraulic structures

Hard-wearing alpine limestone – increasingly popular on account of its appearance – is perfect for gardens, hydraulic engineering and landscaping. It is characterised by its unique texture, light colour and tactile qualities. This makes the natural stone, which is sourced from our local quarry, ideal for gardens and gives a natural look when integrating stone walls and steps into the overall design. The armourstones from our sustainable material processing plant are also indispensable in hydraulic engineering. Their natural resistance to water and weathering makes them a solid base for bank stabilisation, embankments and pile walls, as well as for flood protection systems. They can also be used to design water gardens, ponds or watercourses.
