Light from Trier: The masts overthrow ensures traffic chaos!
Trier, Deutschland - At the Konrad-Adenauer-Bridge in Trier, storm damage recently occurred, in which a lighting mast has fallen. In response to this incident, all seven lighting masts were subjected to a comprehensive examination. It was found that the stability of several masts was impaired by unfavorable weather conditions.
As a result, the Stadtwerke Trier (SWT) and the responsible authorities have decided together to reduce all lighting masts. The dismantling started on Tuesday at around 12 p.m. During the work, traffic is temporarily stopped at every mast to ensure the safety of everyone involved. The renewal of the lighting masts requires the construction of new foundations and the use of high -quality material. The entire process of renewal is expected to take two to three weeks, whereby the Konrad-Adenauer-Bridge will not be illuminated during this time.importance of stability tests
The incident on the Konrad-Adenauer-Bridge is in the context of the need for regular stability tests of masts. Substitating masts can be a significant danger to people and real assets, so that the owners or operators must also be liable for possible damage within the framework of the obligation to ensure traffic safety. Lighting and flagpoles in the living area are often carried out for decades without stability test. Traditional test methods can cause high material loads and are associated with potential follow-up costs, as reported.
For a responsible examination, companies such as DEKRA develop technologies that enable a destructive check without material load. These innovative procedures allow early damage to damage and can also be used in difficult places. The regular control of the masts, taking into account their support and position safety, is crucial for avoiding similar incidents in the future.
