Working and testing in the name of flood protection

01.12.2023
BREMERHAVEN. Since spring, around 900 metres of revetment – which is about 200 metres more than originally planned – has been completed along the still unreinforced 1.4-kilometre middle section of the dyke in Bremerhaven. Construction halted for the winter in October and will resume with the rest of the section in April next year. Independent of the pause in construction, bremenports started a one-day test run shortly thereafter to prepare for the flood season and set up a flood protection situation room on the twelfth floor of Atlantic Hotel Sail City in Bremerhaven, which would activate at alarm level 2 and a water level of more than 2.50 metres above the mean high tide. “Everything went quickly and smoothly with the organisation and setup of the situation centre. And everything works, which is a really good feeling. Being well prepared is everything in emergency situations,” said Christian von Deetzen, who is responsible for flood protection at bremenports, after the test.
