The Odra River , which rises in\u00a0 Czech Republic and disgorges into the Baltic, suffered an extreme flood in July 1997\u00a0 that was responsible for the loss of 55 lives and over a billion dollars of damage in southern Poland. The Polish government, together with\u00a0 financial support from the World Bank, EBRD and EU institutions, is carrying out a number of flood protection projects in\u00a0 southern Poland that\u00a0 are aimed at preventing a future cataclysm.<\/p>\n
AECOM secured a major contract with the Regional Water Management Authority in Gliwice in Poland. As a consulting engineer, we will deliver construction supervision, construction contract management, supervision over implementation of environmental management plan, project financial planning and monitoring for the construction of a dry flood polder in Racib\u00f3rz. The value of the contract is four million Euro, and actual contract deadline is scheduled for the end of 2017.<\/p>\n
The Racib\u00f3rz Dry Polder is to be constructed on the Odra River\u00a0 just upstream from the ancient town of Racib\u00f3rz, on the border between Poland and Czech Republic. The polder will have a total area of 26 km2, and a maximum volume for flood water of 180 mln m3, which will prevent\u00a0 flooding and protect the lives of the 2.5\u00a0 million inhabitants that live in the flood zone that extends from Racib\u00f3rz\u00a0 to Wroc\u0142aw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":25881,"template":"","tags":[],"city":[432],"class_list":["post-18731","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","city-raciborz"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/18731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/18731\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18731"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=18731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
