Tenders Are Invited For Planning Services For Flood Damage Removal Measures At The Baldeneysee Weir System

The Baldeneysee Weir System Is Located Along The Ruhr In The Area Of ​​The City Of Essen. As A Result Of The 2021 Flood, Sediment Redistribution Processes Occurred In The Downstream Of The System, Which Led To Scours Directly In The Downstream Water Below The Stilling Basin Of The Weir System And To Deposits Further Downstream. A Key Reason For The Formation Of Scour Is Probably That The Energy Conversion Of The Weir System Is Inadequate And Flow Velocities That Are Too High Occur Near The Bed. For This Reason, Possibilities For Improving Energy Conversion Should Be Investigated. For Long-Term And Sustainable Operation Of The Weir System, The Scour In The Underwater Area Should Be Filled, Future Erosion Phenomena Should Be Prevented Through Appropriate Measures And The Flow Situation In The Underwater Area Should Be Fundamentally Improved.
