Project title: Strength assessment of the Danish dikes
Project duration: 2018 - 2020
Client: Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark/Danish Coastal Authority
Contracting Authority: Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark/Danish Coastal Authority
Countries: Denmark
General Objective
The overall objective is the implementation of a national dike strength assessment, which the Danish government adopted in 2017. The project includes a national strength assessment of all Danish coastal dikes. The risk assessment must form the basis for a forward-looking management of these risks in the coastal zone and will allow for planning in the coastal zone taking into account the consequences of climate change. The assessment included 460 km of dike length.
Specific Objective
The national risk assessment includes an assessment of the safety of all sea dikes that protect the population and their values, as well as the infrastructure in the coastal hinterland against flooding. The assessment include the identification of geometrical and hydrodynamic parameters.
Services provided by AXI HYDRO SOLUTIONS SRL:
• Detailed geographical mapping of dikes;
• Extraction of dikes geometric profiles;
• Develop GIS-based methods for calculating the dike strength;
• Develop data quality management tools in GIS - contributes to an efficient process in the national risk assessment.
