3 OVERVIEW Waterwegen en Zeekanaal NV Seine-Scheldt an inland navigation project on a European scale with respect for the natural river Lys Design & Build in Harelbeke Aims Procedure

4 WATERWEGEN EN ZEEKANAAL NV Flandres Wallonia

5 WATERWEGEN EN ZEEKANAAL NV

6 WATERWEGEN EN ZEEKANAAL NV Transport of goods over water Water management & Safety against flooding Multifunctionality of waterways

7 OVERVIEW Waterwegen en Zeekanaal NV Seine-Scheldt an inland navigation project on a European scale with respect for the natural river Lys Design & Build in Harelbeke Aims Procedure

8 Scheldt bassin Seine bassin?

9 EUROPEAN DECISIONS ( ) Trans-European Network for Transport (TEN-T) Realisation of missing links 30 priority projects, including Seine-Scheldt France (VNF): new canal Seine Nord Europe Flandres (W&Z): navigability improvements ECMT class Vb (185m x 11.4m x 3.5m)

10 SEINE- SCHELDT France

11

12 EUROPEAN FUNDING Multi-annual work program International cooperation Seine-Scheldt Intergovernmental Commission (IGC) European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG) 10% financial aid granted (= 460 mio EUR) Canal Seine Nord Europe (France) Border Lys (France, Walloon and Flemish region) Lys (45km) + canals (26km) in Ghent region (W&Z) Scheldt + canal Condé-Pommeroeul (Wallonia)

13 SEINE- SCHELDT Improving navigability Design principles 1-way class Vb 2-way smaller vessels

14 SEINE- SCHELDT Water profile in the Lys river Water depth of 4.5m (now: Lys 3.5m) Maintaining the width at water level => Dredging necessary

15 SEINE- SCHELDT Improving navigability Minimal lock dimensions 230m x 12.5m x 4.70m

16 SEINE- SCHELDT Bridges (8) Free height of 7.00m (over 35m width) Necessary for large parts or 3 layers of containers

17 SEINE- SCHELDT Embankments Mooring places ( m long) 1-way traffic with communication through RIS/AIS Waiting zone for large vessels to cross each other Ecological embankments Quay walls

18 OVERVIEW Waterwegen en Zeekanaal NV Seine-Scheldt an inland navigation project on a European scale with respect for the natural river Lys Design & Build in Harelbeke Aims Procedure

19 SEINE- SCHELDT River restoration Ecology Landscape Recreation

20 SEINE- SCHELDT Definition of River Restoration All measures to restore or reinforce the structure and processes which contribute to the dynamic balance in the river ecosystem River ecosystem = river bed + meanders + embankments Dynamic balance: a river is in constant evolution Erosion vs. sedimentation Flooding vs. droughts

21 HISTORY OF THE LYS Extensive calibration

22 SEINE- SCHELDT River restoration (1) Reinforcing the dynamics in the ecosystem

23 SEINE- SCHELDT River restoration (2) Fish migratory routes around locks

24 SEINE- SCHELDT River restoration (3) Recreational routes with respect for heritage Landscaping

25 OVERVIEW Waterwegen en Zeekanaal NV Seine-Scheldt an inland navigation project on a European scale with respect for the natural river Lys Design & Build in Harelbeke Aims Procedure

26 SEINE- SCHELDT Harelbeke

27 SEINE- SCHELDT IN HARELBEKE (1/3) Deepening of the Lys New lock New weir Restoration of migratory routes for fish Heightening of Kuurnebrug upstream (*) New Hoge Brug downstream New waiting and mooring places Construction of (ecological) embankments Hoge brug (*) not part of D&B Kuurnebrug

28 SEINE- SCHELDT IN HARELBEKE (2/3) Dredging + protection against erosion Straightening of waterway downstream Hoge Brug New urban quay New industrial quay Geldof Realisation of intake at Banmolens Renovation of hydraulic turbine Banmolens (*) Continuous service road on left bank (+ bridge over intake) Road works on right bank Site Geldof (*) not part of D&B Banmolens

29 SEINE- SCHELDT IN HARELBEKE (3/3) Spatial planning (without realisation): Passage of the Lys at the new lock & weir Insertion of Marina (Kuurne) Impact assessment on new urban quarter on left bank Overall spatial valorisation of the surroundings (o.o. Bloemmolens) Urban development Bloemmolens

30 HARELBEKE: MAIN PROJECT ZONE

31 EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE (1/3) Banmolens Industrial heritage Reconversion project Lofts Hydraulic turbine Intake needed! Spatial cohesion Fish migration?

32 EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE (2/3) Bloemmolens Industrial site until summer 09 Acquisition by W&Z to safeguard space for future lock and weir Possibility to transform into lofts?

33 EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE (3/3) Lock and weir

34 NAVIGATIONAL DEMANDS Traffic prognosis versus lock capacity (1/2) Traffic prognosis Seine-Scheldt (million tonnes) traffic in the past 4 growth industrial production +1.37% container and waste traffic + new quay walls 2 0 project induced traffic change of route

35 NAVIGATIONAL DEMANDS Traffic prognosis versus lock capacity (2/2)

36 NAVIGATIONAL DEMANDS Lock geometry based on class Vb

37 NAVIGATIONAL DEMANDS Mooring structures Bollards in lock walls Floating construction Continuity of navigation during construction

38 WATER MANAGEMENT Normal water management: Upstream 10.18m TAW Downstream 8.00m TAW Hydrological data T (year) Q (m³/s) H_up (m TAW) H_dwn (m TAW) MHW

39 Variant A CONCEPTUAL PLANS

40 Variant C CONCEPTUAL PLANS

41 CONCEPTUAL PLANS Variant A Variant C Acquisitions needed Minimal to none Bloemmolens By-pass weir Not necessary (temporarely) necess. Techn. feasability To be investigated OK Continuity navigation During construction OK Navigability Optimal axis line Broken axis line Bloemmolens Lofts in the future? Demolition needed Variant A: best solution, but achievable? Variant C is achievable, but not as good

42 FISH MIGRATORY ROUTE By-pass new lock and weir Restoration of river dynamics on meander Integration of Banmolens / Bloemmolens?

43 BRIDGES Heightening Kuurnebrug (*) Rebuilding Hoge Brug (*) not part of D&B

44 KUURNEBRUG Palmbout: Opportunity to improve road situation

45 HOGE BRUG

48 SPATIAL VISION (3/3) Masterplan Palmbout

49 PROJECT ZONE DOWNSTREAM Straightening the curve Urban quay widening Industrial quay Geldof

50 STRAIGHTENING THE CURVE Max m Min. 35m Ca. 8m

51 INDUSTRIAL QUAY GELDOF Continuity of Geldofs activities Straightening the curve implies building a new quay wall downstream Acquisition planned nearby

52 EXPLOITATION & MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Life Cycle Management keep the Whole Life Cycle Cost to a minimum Avoid calamities Renewable energy sources Accessibility of the (construction) site

53 CONCLUSION OF PRELIMINARY STUDY The construction of a new lock and weir at Harelbeke is one of the main challenges for the international Seine-Scheldt project There are many conflicting goals that need to be reconciled An integrated project, by means of a Design & Build procedure is launched, based on two variants

54 OVERVIEW Waterwegen en Zeekanaal NV Seine-Scheldt an inland navigation project on a European scale with respect for the natural river Lys Design & Build in Harelbeke Aims Procedure
