Cultural Foundation of Dessau-Wörlitz (KSDW)

Mobildeich length: 1.7 km

The Cultural Foundation of Dessau-Wsrlitz acquired the MOBILDEICH for the protection of its historic parks. In agreement with the State Office for Flood Protection and Water Management of Saxony-Anhalt, the State Bureau for the Conservation of Historic Monuments and the State Administration Office, the decision was made for a total of 1.7 km of the mobile dyke defence system. No other flood protection system satisfied the expert committeeÕs high demands in terms of safety and flexibility.

Around the mouth of the Mulde River, a Mobildeich with heights of up to 2.10 m protects the stud farm located there.

The gardens around the Luisium have lost none of their appeal, as MOBILDEICH can also be set up without any structural devices at all on the terrain, which has strong variations in elevation.

In particular, the stock of trees was taken into consideration. Specially adapted tree cuffs were provided in several location to seal the system.

Transport containers for the fire departments in the Lahn-Dill district

Our new design: fully-mobile flood protection out of the transport container.

This 6.5 m container contains 480 m of Mobildeich with a height of 0.6 m. All parts needed for setting up are stored as a compact unit Ð protected from weather and transport damage Ð and can be brought to the site within minutes.

A swivelling extension facilitates the manual handling of even large module lengths.

If desired, the MOBILDEICH company will assemble a wide variety of container sizes (20", 40", WELAB, ...) for using MOBILDEICH in your vehicle fleet

Renovation work at the Sachsenhausen flood gates (Havel River)

In order to ensure safe working conditions at the Sachsenhausen flood gates, a MOBILDEICH was erected within four hours in the middle of the Havel River.

Its dam height is approx. 2 m. Over its length of 20 m, the dyke effortlessly adapted to the substrate features.

Within a week, the necessary work on the flood gates could be accomplished inexpensively on dry land

Fürstenberg (Havel) – Ð Draining of a construction site for a fish/canoe passage

MOBILDEICH was brought to the site in Fürstenberg in an estate car with trailer (1).

Image (2) shows the construction site located in the urban greenery. In the next picture, Mobildeich is placed in the middle of the river using a construction crane. The bank and slope area is uneven and is blocked by stones and poles. Here, MOBILDEICH proves its particularly good sealing properties on various substrates.

Chemnitz – damming of the Chemnitz River

These photos were taken during a training program of the Freiberger Mulde / Zschopau State Dam Administration in September 2006.Federal Agency for Technical Relief experts Dr Geert Lehmann, Thomas Tjaden and Thomas Schlunck provided information on, among other things, innovative dyke defence systems.

The practical learning included MOBILDEICH set-up exercises. The approximately 70 employees of the State Dam Administration were won over by the easy set-up and the full overflowing capability capability of the system on a very smooth waterway substrate.

Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau – damming of the Neiße

The approximately 750-hectare Fürst Pückler Park in Bad Muskau is one of the most important parks in Europe and was taken up in UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2004.
In order to protect the essential parts of this work of landscaping art from the destruction that can be caused by flooding, MOBILDEICH was demonstrated on site.The set-up was carried out in the middle of the NeißeNeiße. At low water, the dyke could be set up within a very short time. The staff of the Fürst Pückler Park Foundation were won over not only by the quick and easy handling of MOBILDEICH, but also by the practical proof that there is a solution for their flood protection problem that can be integrated without compromises in the image of the landscape park: the dyke is invisible for most of the year.

Dessau-Rosslau – flood protection near Lutherstadt Wittenberg

On 11 April 2006, the "Mitteldeutsche Zeitung" reported on this use of Mobildeich along Südstraße in Rosslau. Federal road 187 runs along the Rossel River, which held a lot of water due to the flooding in spring 2006. The Rossel is a tributary of the Elbe: As was the case during the 2002 flood, the Elbe pushed the water into the branch of the river and thus into the city, so that the foundations of many houses were flooded. After flood alert level 4 had been reached, the backflow of water had to be pumped across the street using hastily ordered large pumps; MOBILDEICH ensured the safety of the site, which was in a sink.

Selke Valley – flood protection in Meisdorf

The Selke River in the eastern Harz region has caused destruction over longer intervals in the past. The "Save the Selke Valley" citizens' initiative has made its objective to explore possibilities for using flexible flood protection systems. For presentation purposes, a 20-meter-long Mobildeich was set up in Meisdorf within 20 min and sealed in the river course. The module can be transported in the boot of an estate car, and provides safe, fast and effective flood protection for a flood height up to 45 cm.
