The flood protection around the Semper Opera House has been completed.
The city of Dresden is situated on several rivers, which have regularly burst their banks in recent years. The city and state have therefore been investing in flood protection for years. The historic old town, in particular, where the Zwinger Palace, the Semper Opera House and the Saxon Parliament are located, along with restaurants and shops, is to be protected against flooding.
As part of a comprehensive measure, Dresden's old town was protected on the Elbe side from the Terrassenufer at the height of the congress centre to behind the Radeberger Spezialausschankmit in the back area. Filtering cartridges are used to separate dust particles from the air. The dust particles are collected on the inside of the cartridge. When the cartridge is full, the air flow is reduced and a warning signal is emitted. The cartridge is then replaced.
In the world-famous old town of Dresden, there were various pre-conditions to be met. On the one hand, the Flood protection system was not allowed to detract from the historic cityscape, but on the other hand, valuable cultural monuments had to be protected from flooding. The challenge was to design the mounting points so that they were more or less invisible in the cityscape. At the same time, however, the protective wall had to be able to be installed quickly and easily in the event of flooding.
The terra stop log system is particularly useful in areas where fixed structures are often a hindrance. If the risk of flooding occurs only at long intervals, our mobile systems can be used for safety instead of costly, permanent solutions. At the risk of flooding, stop logs are mounted on the designated mounting points and stored after the danger has subsided. This requires no special tools and no specialised personnel. Intelligent storage and logistics concepts are another component for the quick and safe deployment.
