The flood defences in the Neuzeller Niederung showed considerable stability problems during the Oder floods at the turn of the millennium. Only intensive levee defence measures were able to avert the danger of a levee breach and flooding of the hinterland.
In Warwickshire, just north of Long Itchington Wood, the preparatory operations for this project include the development of a main compound area with office space and welfare facilities, plus storage areas for materials and equipment, and the tunnel being constructed at Long Itchington will enable HS2 trains to pass directly beneath one of the county’s largest areas of ancient woodland. The area is protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, and measures to avoid loss of the woodland were developed in consultation with Natural England.
This project shows how the reservoir's future resilience to high water levels can be ensured.
This flyer effectively summarises the key aspects of our involvement in the Drammen Tunnel project, highlighting the products, installation expertise, comprehensive service, and innovative solutions we provided.
A new 15-turbine onshore wind farm is under construction in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Located between Dalmellington and Carsphairn, it’s estimated that the 67MW Benbrack Wind Farm will provide sufficient electricity to power 70,000 homes when full commercial operation is achieved in the summer of 2024.
The approx. 5.4 km long coastal strip of the city of Scharbeutz, which is frequently used by tourists is characterised by a wide sandy beach with a beach wall and a promenade, road and buildings behind it. This stretch of coast is largely unprotected from storm surges from the northeast. The coastal defences needed to be improved to protect the residents in this area. The state of Schleswig-Holstein subsidised this construction project.
The project design incorporates solar panels sited on tall posts to ensure the site maintains normal levels of operation – even in times of flooding. Essential to the project was the construction of almost 1,000 metres of unbound access roads.
Facilitating the onshore activities for this project would require the construction of over 17 miles of temporary haul roads across the Yorkshire countryside and, although temporary, construction of the roadways was required to be nothing less than substantial.
The Wilhelm-Wisser-Schule (WWS) in Eutin, Germany, is bursting at the seams. For this reason, the school is planned to be expanded into a three and a half form entry school for around 550 pupils over the next few years. However, lessons will continue. As an alternative location, an interim school for the WWS will be set up on the fairground for around two years ....
At ABP Port of Southampton’s City Cruise Terminal, Naue geotextile sand containers have been installed to remediate scour holes in the harbour bottom and prevent further scour. Southampton is the cruise capital of the UK, with over 430 cruise calls departing from the port each year. The port is one of the busiest deep-water ports in the UK and can accommodate any size of cruise ship. The port is also home to the UK’s second largest container terminal.
