MINE of MOYEUVRE-GRANDE - France

mine1.jpg

Mining activities are in decline, and not only in Germany. Mines are being closed down all over the world. But what exactly happens to the tunnels, galleries and shafts? Occasionally, stories surface in the press about abrupt subsidence or, as recently happened in France, the flooding of cellars in houses located in a valley in a former mining region. In March 2004, Nordseetaucher was contracted by INSERBAT of Forbach, France, to investigate the cause of the increasing water pressure in the vicinity of a decommissioned mine.  read more »

Geotextiles in Hydraulic Engineering

Geotextiles are commonly used as cost-effective construction materials in hydraulic engineering. Over the past decades, woven and non-woven textiles, geogrids and composite materials have emerged to play a key role in canal and waterway engineering, the construction of man-made lakes, barrage engineering and coastal protection. They perform a wide range of tasks, including separation, filtration, drainage, protection, packaging, reinforcement and sealing.  read more »

Longitudinal bisection of a floating dock

dock2.jpg

The 7,500 tdw floating dock at the Schichau Seebeck shipyard in Bremerhaven was built in 1964; due to the gradual closure of shipyards it had not been used for many years. In 1986 the dock was lengthened by 30 metres and widened by 6.6 metres, meaning that it no longer fitted through the Fishing Port lock. The dock was put up for sale and a buyer was found. The challenge faced by the engineering firm contracted to arrange the handover was to establish the exact cutting procedure for the longitudinal bisection to enable the dock to be moved. Nordseetaucher was contracted to carry out all cutting work above and below water.  read more »
