Role in the Project

Within the project the Department of Geotechnics, Geology & Maritime Engineering, which is directed by Prof. Dr. Zbigniew Sikora, will be responsible for component 3. The Department is in charge of laboratory testing of the soil-ash mixtures and for the field tests at the test dike in Gdańsk. Furthermore the GUT will contribute to the proper design and construction of the pilot dike. One main aim is the dissemination of the project outputs by all means, including education (diploma works, seminars), technical meetings and conferences. The GUT as the direct university partner will also participate in the elaboration of design rules for the innovative dike materials and the production of the best practice guideline. They will provide the management for the Polish associated organisations. Beyond the GUT is planning a long-term cooperation within regional flood protection and the water management programme Żuławy 2030.
