Description
The Vivara Pro Amphibian Tunnel is a sustainable crossing point for amphibians. The product supports nature-inclusive construction and ecologically responsible infrastructure management. The tunnel was developed in collaboration with specialised partners. The solution complies with legislation and ecological guidelines. The tunnel helps amphibian populations to migrate safely. This happens without disruption from traffic.
Amphibians such as frogs, toads and salamanders migrate annually. They migrate to breeding waters, especially in spring. Roads pose a major risk to them. The Vivara Pro Amphibian Tunnel offers a safe and proven solution. The tunnel provides a safe crossing point, significantly reducing the number of roadkill victims.
Safe crossing point for amphibians
The amphibian tunnel functions as a permanent crossing point for amphibians. Animals instinctively use the tunnel during their migration. The tunnel guides them under the road, preventing contact with traffic. This contributes to stable populations.
The tunnel is suitable for daily use, not only during the spring migration. Even outside the migration season, the tunnel provides a safe route. Amphibians use the tunnel to reach habitats, which increases their habitat and chances of survival.
Support for migration and ecological connections
Amphibians are highly dependent on connected habitats. Fragmentation caused by infrastructure is a major problem. The Vivara Pro Amphibian Tunnel helps to reduce this fragmentation. The tunnel connects habitats and breeding areas.
Creating a permanent crossing point establishes ecological connections. These connections are essential for genetic exchange. They contribute to healthy populations in the long term. This is an important principle within nature-inclusive construction.
Sustainable materials and responsible design
The tunnel is made of BTEX-free concrete. This material is strong and durable. It is suitable for long-term use in the soil. BTEX-free concrete does not contain any harmful substances. This prevents negative effects on soil and water.
The robust design can withstand heavy loads. The tunnel can be safely installed under roads. The structure remains reliable even under heavy traffic. This makes the tunnel suitable for both local roads and larger infrastructure.
Seamless combination with amphibious screens
The Vivara Pro Amphibian Tunnel works best in combination with amphibian screens. These screens guide amphibians to the tunnel entrance, helping animals find the crossing point more quickly. This increases the effectiveness of the measure.
Vivara Pro supplies both tunnels and screens. This means that the products are technically and ecologically compatible. The combination is often used in ecological projects. Examples include roads in nature reserves or near breeding waters.
Applications within projects
The amphibian tunnel is highly versatile. The product is used in various projects. The focus is always on protecting amphibians and biodiversity.
- Crossing point for amphibians on roads and cycle paths
- Connecting habitats and breeding grounds
- Creating safe migration routes between nature reserves
- Ecological projects focused on biodiversity
- Roads through amphibian migration routes or habitats
Suitable for various types of amphibians
The tunnel is designed for multiple species, such as frogs, toads, and salamanders. These species have similar migration patterns, and the tunnel’s dimensions and structure are tailored to accommodate them. The tunnel provides sufficient shelter and a natural microclimate.
Amphibians avoid light and dry conditions. The tunnel takes this into account. The interior remains dark and moist. This encourages animals to use it, ensuring that the crossing functions effectively.
Contribution to legislation and project certainty
Protecting amphibians is mandatory for many projects. Legislation imposes requirements on migration routes. Without measures, projects can be delayed. The Vivara Pro Amphibian Tunnel helps to comply with these requirements.
Creating a safe crossing point in good time provides clarity. This prevents ecological bottlenecks at a later stage. Vivara Pro contributes ideas to the design and application. This ensures that the solution fits in with the project and the environment.
