Description

Auto-translated from German

As part of the measure, deadwood structures will be installed in two dike fields. These consist of 3 trees and five deadwood boxes. The trees must first be removed from the water and transported via the waterway to the Kornsand ramp. The deadwood boxes are made from pre-cut logs with a length of approximately 2.5 m and a trunk diameter of 15 cm to 30 cm. The boxes will be filled with brushwood or small branches in loose packing. Ballast elements are intended for securing the driftwood/deadwood boxes. These are cast concrete bodies made of concrete C25/30, XC0, which are to be supplied by the contractor. The driftwood and deadwood boxes will be attached to the ballast elements with high-strength chains or stainless steel threaded rods. The driftwood and deadwood boxes will then be sunk into their intended positions together with the ballast elements from a ship. The ballast elements ensure that the driftwood and deadwood boxes are stable in position and buoyant. Based on experience from the Netherlands, the chains are attached in such a way that the driftwood can move as little as possible to minimize the chains cutting into the trunk over time. The underwater installation must be accompanied by divers. Before installation, the divers will check the bottom of the installation area for unexploded ordnance, then help to install the structures in a stable position and document the installation through photo and video recordings.
