In preparation for the creation of the flood hazard and flood risk maps within the framework of Directive 2007/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on the assessment and management of flood risks (EC FRMD), the flood hazard areas were to be newly determined. Together with Aquasoli, Siegsdorf, Tractebel Hydroprojekt was awarded the contract for two lots. Tractebel Hydroprojekt focussed on the 'Lower Main' lot. This lot included 22 watercourse sections.
These were often narrow watercourses in residential areas, often with long culverted sections. Separate 2D models were created for these sections in order to adequately take their capacity into account and thus to be able to map the overflow discharge in the hydronumerical model.
The project workflow was carried out in delivery packages, each approved after a technical review by quality assurance and water management authorities. Delays in the area of surveying were made up for by flexible management on the part of the project management and by carrying out supplementary surveys ourselves.
