General objectives:

• 2 large-scale field tests in Rostock and Gdańsk
• 395.000 EUR investment for construction and instrumentation
• Provides the basis for the implementation of the components 4 (Pilot Implementation) and 5 (Best Practice Guideline)

…

Laboratory testing:

• To define the mechanical, hydraulic, chemical and ecological characteristics of the different materials used
• For pre-testing and accompanying the field tests to define material changes due to static and
  hydraulic loading, vegetation, desalination, and consolidation (after 3 and 12 months)

…

Field testing:

• Realistically-dimensioned test dikes in Germany and Poland
• Settlements, consolidation, seepage, surface erosion and stability of drenched dikes, loading tests, vegetation assessment

…

Rostock – Germany

• Dredged marine sediments from the spoil field Radelsee
• Planned length: 250 meters
• Operated by the Hanseatic City of Rostock (P4)
• Different cross-sections and material combinations (both with different dredged materials and geosynthetics)
• Designed by the Lead Beneficiary with assistance of the associated partner

…

Gdańsk – Poland

• Dredged river sediments compounded with different fly ashes
• Planned length: 36 meters  at Vistula river
• Operated by the Pomeranian Head of Melioration (AP4) and located in the vicinity of Gdańsk
• Regularly flooded by the Vistula River
• In-situ field tests involve measurements of settlement and consolidation, seepage and other hydraulic loading

…

Responsible partners:

• TU Gdańsk (P2): Official responsible partner
• University partners: Geotechnical testing
• Steinbeis Innovation gGmbH (P5): Chemical analytics
• P4 (Rostock) and AP4 (Gdańsk): Maintenance at least until 2018
