Construction of a seepage barrier with structural function in the existing dike using the Mixed-in-Place method. Including beams at a distance which were placed in the fresh mixture of existing soil with the binding agent.

The river Lech is a right tributary of the river Danube. The 256 km long river rises in Vorarlberg and flows through Tyrol and southern Bavaria, where it flows into the Danube. Shortly before the Austrian-German border it takes up the Vils, forms the artificial Lechfall before Fuessen and crosses Swabia and Upper Bavaria on its way. The largest cities on the Lech are Landsberg and Augsburg, where it receives its largest tributary, the Wertach. At Marxheim, the river empties into the Danube.
