WASTOP ® PROTECTING HIRSCHTHAL, SWITZERLAND WITH WASTOP DN1200 Location: Hirschthal, Switzerland Customer: Hirschthal, Switzerland PROBLEM: Flooding caused by backow up the stormwater outfalls into the Suhre river caused problems in the town of Hirschthal. SOLUTION: A DN1200 WaStop was installed inside the stormwater outfall to allow ood water to ow into the river, but prevent it from owing back up the stormwater outfall when river levels rise. This gave local residents peace of mind, knowing the town would not be affected by ooding due to backow. Thanks to Canplast Switzerland for supplying this information. www.canplast.ch
