The big picture of the renovation

The Lichtenberg dam has been operated for around 50 years now and supplies about 200,000 people in the Freiberg area with drinking water. This raw water supply and the operation of the traffic jam system make extensive renovation essential. This was carried out as part of a complete emptying of the reservoir, which took place in autumn 2024. During this work, a construction water position with fan team and pipelines was also built on the water side of the dam to support the construction work.

The renovation measures last at least two years, and construction started in September 2024. Currently, some of the elaborate steps such as milling of the asphalt layer on the dam crown, the dismantling of the lane substructure and the installation of new ready -to -concrete parts are in full swing. Wasserwirtschafts.sachsen.de adds that the Saxony State Tall Classification Administration is not only responsible for these renovation projects, but also for many other construction projects that deal with the flood protection and the preservation of traffic jam systems.

This makes the long -term plans and measures for the Lichtenberg dam. Linking with the Freiberg Revierwasserlauf and the Osterzgebirge dam association not only ensures the water supply for the region, but also enables sustainable use of the natural resources. With this commitment and the extensive renovation work, the Landesmallschermannverwaltung shows that it has a good hand for water supply and environmental protection.
