JLD Dike Stabilization
February 5, 2015
On January 19, 2015, the first meeting of the POV Macrostability took place with an excursion to the test site of the JLD Dike Stabilizer. Frans van den Berg wrote a column about this for the first newsletter of the POV Macrostability.
| "On January 19, the kick-off meeting was held in Volendam, with workshops and a field trip to the JLD Dike Stabilizer. I experienced this first meeting of the POVM as very successful. The turnout was enormous; a lot of input came out of it to incorporate into the Plan of Approach. Exactly the purpose of the meeting! By now we are a few months down the road and well advanced. The organization has been set up, the project group and cluster members are at work and there is a draft Plan of Action. And reference projects have been included. These are the started projects where macro stability is an important failure mechanism. With the POVM we want to helpthe reference projects to solve the stability problem in a smart way. We are therefore working within this POVM towards concrete results that are also directly applicable. Much remains to be done until 2017, but the enthusiasm for tackling this exploration together - market parties, governments, knowledge institutes and reference projects - is there. That is great to see and gives confidence in the outcome: useful and applicable results." |
