Balgstuw - Ramspol The inflatable dam at Ramspol is unique in more ways than one. With a cross section of 8 meters, it will be the largest inflatable dam ever made. This type of flood barrier is used elsewhere only for controlling water levels during normal circumstances, while this dam is designed to handle substantial storms. Ramspol will have the world premiere for an inflatable dam which is filled with both air and water.
Lenght: 3 x 80 meter
