The dredged material test dike construction in Rostock started in August 2011.

After a successful procurement the construction works for the Rostock test dike was planned to be the 8th of August 2011. Due to heavy rainfalls this Summer in Rostock both the subgrade and the dredged materials were too wet to start building. After 2 weeks of mostly dry and warm weather the construction works started on the 22nd of August. The construction site has been prepared, the measurement container placed, and tree of the four planned cross-dams to separate the construction into three polders could be built (see pictures).
