The King Louis Bridge is listed as a heritage building; built in 1852, with a length of about 403 ft, it is an outstanding example of civil engineering in Germany. Since 1986, the former railroad bridge, made of timber and steel, has been used as a pedestrian and cyclist bridge across the more than 98-ft-deep river incision in the Iller River.
As the geothermal energy market is continuously increasing, BAUER Maschinen GmbH, a German company working in the field of specialist foundation engineering, has developed a new deep drilling rig. Dlubal Software's German customer Ing.-Büro H.-U. Möller was in charge of the plant's structural analysis. The system is used to make borings reaching to a depth of 22,965 ft in the area of geothermal energy, oil, or gas.
