Dachstein-Cave Austria 10.05.2007

Together with the Technical University of Dresden (Germany) Riegl has realized an expedition into the Dachstein-Cave (Austria). In the last years the South-Access of the Dachstein-cave was measured using traditional surveying-equipment. Using these traditional methods, measuring the extreme large hollows inside the cave was unrealistic. Using the Riegl LMS-Z420i it was possible to measure also in areas, in which no physical access was possible. The results of this measurement-campaign give a volume-estimation of the large hollows inside the cave, which is necessary to get a better understanding of the water-balance of the whole cave-system. The whole operation was realized under extreme circumstances regarding climbing-routes and accessibility of the cave. Also the Riegl Z420i has shown its outstanding qualities regarding robustness and usability in extreme situations.
