The 1961 to 1970 Construction Period in Steg
According to the 2000 census, more than one in four residential buildings in Steg dates from 1961 to 1970, exactly 67 of 253 (26.5 percent). In Raron, the share is 18.8 percent, in Visp 17.7 percent and in Leuk 12.8 percent.
This construction wave coincides with the arrival of Alusuisse from 1960 onwards, which, according to the municipality, brought an enormous economic upturn.
Checking the Material Before Drilling
Fixing net holders or spikes with wall plugs means drilling into the facade, parapet or sill. For buildings constructed before 1990, SUVA advises assuming the presence of asbestos. Facade panels, parapets or sealants from that period can contain asbestos, and drilling can then release fibres.
As a specialist in workplace safety who has signed the SUVA Charter, I therefore check the construction year and facade material before any drilled fixing in Steg-Hohtenn. If asbestos is suspected, I fit a clamp or adhesive fixing instead of drilling. I decide whether a net, tensioned wire or spike is the right fit in the same way as for every Bird deterrence in Upper Valais. Rodents and cockroaches on the same valley floor are a separate topic, see Pest control Steg-Hohtenn.

Establish the Construction Year
I establish the construction year. If the building dates from before 1990, I examine the material more closely.
Check the Facade Material
Following the SUVA recommendation, I check before starting work whether asbestos could be present.
Fix Without Drilling
If asbestos is suspected, I fit a clamp or adhesive fixing instead of drilling.
