Braunschweig, NI swaps sand bags for Mobildeich flood protection system along waterfront

Braunschweig, NI Waterfront Mobildeich Flood Protection

Mobildeich inflates durable hoses using early floodwaters and stays in place thanks to a secure tarp. The system is easy to unroll, fits into tight spaces, and handles water levels up to 3.5 meters. Braunschweig will use Mobildeich along an established flood defense line near the Oker River. Municipal officials approved the system to prevent a minimum potential cost of 23 million euros per major flooding event.
