| Project | The Duisburg-Xanten Dike Association is responsible, among other things, for the safety of the left-sided Rhine dikes and flood safety in general in the currently defined association area. The association area comprises the area on the left bank of the Rhine between Rhine river km 786.25 (Duisburg-Baerl) and 823.2 (Xanten-Beek).
On 17.01.2023, an erosion funnel was discovered at the Rhine dike in Wesel-Büderich in the area of the water-side foot. Due to damage to the sewage pressure line (ADL) located there, soil in the pipe was transported away. The broken piece of pipe was replaced and the excavation pit required for this was subsequently backfilled. The work was completed on 20.01.2023. Due to the hazard situation, the measures were carried out immediately and with the highest priority as an ad hoc safety measure. The operator of the ADL, Stadtwerke Wesel (SWW), prepared a detailed damage description/documentation in coordination with the DVDX. M&P Water GmbH, in the person of Dr. Haselsteiner, who is an expert for geotechnical engineering according to EASV, was commissioned to assess the damage repair with regard to the stability of the dyke and flood safety and to carry out a risk assessment in this context. |
