ENATURE® FISHPASS-SYSTEM NUN AUCH IN DER SCHWEIZ

The patented fish ladder system from Austrian precast manufacturer MABA Fertigteilindustrie GmbH, part of the Kirchdorfer Group, has already established itself throughout the DACH region with around 100 installations over the years. With a new installation at the Swiss Obermühle power plant, the modular precast system is now enjoying renewed success with its Swiss neighbors.

With numerous installations – particularly along the Drau in Carinthia with its steep gradient – the MABA enature® fish pass system is now a widespread institution in Austria. In southern Germany and South Tyrol, too, the prefabricated system has been used for years, which radically reduces the flow velocity of the water in a fish ladder with multiple, staggered “slots”. This enables the fish to ascend with comparative ease and has a positive effect on the energy balance and operating costs of the power plant, as the low flow velocities only require a relatively low water dosage.

Fishpass Obermühle Power Station
At the Obermühle power plant in the Swiss canton of Zug, Fernando Binder (fmb-ingenieure.ch) used the enature® fish pass system 2023 to create a fish ladder that is adapted to the limited space available and is even 2-storey high in places.
With significantly reduced flow rates, the “multiple-slot” principle ensures effortless fish ascents with minimized water dotation.
