Silent Plus®
Noise protection system with sand core
for a quiet and pleasant living in Bietigheim-Bissingen
Bietigheim-Bissingen is a town in the catchment area of Stuttgart/ federal state Baden-Württemberg (Germany). At the western suburb Metterzimmern - as best address of Bietigheim-Bissingen - the new construction area "Haslacher Weg" is planned with 44 building plots, divided into building plots for single-family houses and two-family houses.
As the new construction area "Haslacher Weg" is located along the busy "Kleinsachsenheimer Straße", the city Bietigheim-Bissingen already demands in the run-up a noise protection wall - which was stated in the development plan.
The main requirement - next to the demanded noise protection characteristics - was that the construction harmoniously fit into the landscape, and that the old traditional large lime tree on the edge of the construction area, was taken into account and retained.

Since noise protection of conventional gabion walls are too low, the decision for Rothfuss® Best Gabion and its noise protection wall Silent Plus® was taken very fast. Silent Plus® is a multi-chamber basket system consisting of the locking rod system monotecR®. In the middle chamber a geo-textile sack is inserted filled with sand.
