2 Operating under extreme conditions Flood Barrier are increasingly playing a major role in the field of coast protection. During spring tides or storm floods they can minimize the negative consequences to urban areas caused by high water. Huge forces effect on constructions and buildings the technology demands a maximum of precision In spite of different requirements and besides reliable availability all drive systems have one characteristic in common: Highest degree of operational safety ; A matter of course for the engineers of Bosch REXROTH 2

3 State of the Art Technology = a MUST have (Sea / Fresh ) water Mechanical and structural without sufficient resistance against torsional stress are in need of Synchronisation measures Thus, designing the drive solution specially the changing loads during high and low tide along with low natural frequencies of the Food Barrier has to be taken into consideration. State of the Art designed Drive & Control Technology for Flood Barrier can offer these advantages even under extreme external conditions provided that the drives operate trouble-free Impacts especially when operating in brackish water environment needs very special attention Mechanical Impacts Electro cemical Impacts (Low/High) Temperatures Abrasive Materials Technology Dialogue - Solutions on Sustainable Waters Management and Flood Prevention 3

4 Storm Barrier with REXROTH Technology inside Storm Barrier & Reservoir Thames River (London) Thames Storm Barrier There is a wide range of structural designs and operating technologies that can be employed for Storm Barriers. Bosch REXROTH can support with: Engineering consultancy up to 3D - Simulation models Best in class products State of the art system technology solutions Installation / Commissioning at site Maintenance though out the entire life cycle Storm Barrier along the River Barking Barrier Dartford Barrier King George V Barrier Tilbury Barrier Canvey Island Barriers 4

5 First in class products and system solution CIMS Integrated measuring system (CIMS) Gate structure Cylinder with special surface layer technology (Enduroq) 5

6 First in class products and system solution The enormous flexibility of the gate structure with over 60 meter span widths and ~ 60 tones of weight, requires position monitoring of the 2-Cylinders, in order to synchronized the movement when moving up and down. 6

7 Storm Barrier with REXROTH Technology inside Storm Barrier & Reservoir Singapore - Marina Bay Storm Barrier with flap gates to avoid flooding of the city Reservoir Barrage to gain fresh water from Sea water Singaporean + Japanese + German + Netherlands, Co - Project Drive & Control Technique supplied 7

8 Make sure, your system works - when needed! Regardless the kind of application demanded by any customer individual, specific customized system solutions can be designed and realized. Bosch Rexroth bundles the Know-how and experience in hydraulics and electrical drive technology and provides world-wide best in practice customized package solutions for Flood Protection Systems. Operating as well as monitoring of entire system can be insured. package solution provider Simulation Technology FEM-calculation for the distribution of stress in the trunnion of a hydraulic cylinder. Best in class products High-Tech coatings for a durable protection against corrosion. Engineering consultancy 8
