Flood preventing

Austria

Vienna

A vinyl sheet pile wall was installed to form an extreme flood relief near Danube river in Stetten and Bisamberg close to Austrian capital Vienna. The dam was lowered by 40 cm at two separate places each 46 metres long. These over flow dams let the flood peaks discharge in controlled manner to a natural polder outside the urban areas. The vinyl sheet pile wall is strengthening the top part of the dam preventing erosion at the over flow as the flow peaks can exceed 100 cubic metres in second.

The vinyl sheets were vibro driven with steel mandrel. The material and the equipment were selected carefully as large piling machine could cause damage to the dam. For this reason, a Movax SG-30 Side-Grip pile driver was selected and fitted to a reasonable low weight CAT 321E carrier. The ground construction, engineering and piling works were conducted by the department of waterways engineering and research of the state government Niederöstereich.
