Padastertal, August 2020 The Padastertal disposal area In the Padaster valley, which branches off to one side of the Wipp valley, there is Europe’s biggest disposal site for excavated earth and spoil. It can hold 7.5 million cubic metres of material - that’s three times the size of the Great Pyramids of Cheops! The spoil produced during the excavation works on the surrounding construction lots is brought directly to the disposal site via conveyor belts, to protect the surrounding population, and distributed over the site using discharge towers. Part of the spoil is used as aggregate for the production of concrete. BBT SE has carried out several protective works in the Padaster valley. Once the works are nished, the oor of the valley, which is 1.4 km long, will be 80 metres higher. After ample renaturisation works, this side valley which was too narrow to be used for agriculture or forest cultivation will become an area that can be used for grazing.
