The procurement phase for the construction of the Polish Test Dike within DREGDIKES project to be constructed in Trzcinsko near Gdansk has ended in May 2012. The final project specifies a dike 3m high, with inclination of 1:2. The construction material consists of 70%  of ash and 30% of dredged sand from Vistula River. Below […]

The DredgDikes project was presented on the 12th Baltic Sea Geotechnical Conference in Rostock. A presentation was held, a poster was presented and an excursion to the Rostock test dike construction site was organised. Also, the 8th International Conference on the Environmental and Technical Implications of Construction with Alternative Materials in Gothenburg (WASCON 2012) was visited to promote the DredgDikes ideas in Sweden.

The 2nd DredgDikes Monitoring Group Meeting was held in Rostock 24-25 April 2012. All partners and 5 associated organisations took part in the successful meeting. On the first day the progress of the German and Polish partners was presented. An excursion to the construction site of the Rostock test dike was organised for all participants.

The construction works at the Rostock test dike in Markgrafenheide have been resumed on 16 April 2012. Here you will find some images of the work progress.

The DredgDikes project has been presented at the South Baltic Annual Conference in Schwerin, 28-29 November 2011. The conference was held in the “Neustädtisches Palais”, which also hosts M-V’s ministry of justice.

Faza projektowa polskiego wału testowego jest na ukończeniu. Ustalono przekrój konstrukcji, wybrano miejsce konstrukcji i przebadano podłoże gruntowe pod nim, a także wykonano analizy laboratoryjne materiałów konstrukcyjnych. Czas na procedurę przetargową w celu wyłonienia wykonawcy.

A dredged material compaction testing field of 10 x 10 m has been installed to prove the compactability of the dredged materials used in the test dike construction. Two dredged materials have been used, that will be applied as top layers in the test dike.
