Management Organisation
Protection against flooding is a focal issue. Apart from
primary water defences, it is now clear that even non-primary water defences
have an important role to play in this regard. As a result, the awareness has
grown that absolute protection does not exist: the role of the water defence
administrator is thereby shifting from technical manager to that of a "risk
manager". In addition to a thorough knowledge of his own water defences, the
water defence administrator should consciously implement his role in the context
of the water system and the spatial environment.
The water defence administrator is faced with the challenge of continuous professionalisation through further development and application of the right knowledge, organisation and tools. This places him in a position to perform his tasks properly and transparently, and to build bridges towards society and various co-administrators.
Infram makes its contribution by primarily leading the way into developments and thinking with managers, policy-makers, administrators and specialists. Infram builds bridges based on around 10 years experience and cutting-edge knowledge in the field of water defences and spatial environment, policy and management processes, risk management, inspection and maintenance methods and plan-based management.
The following is a list of some of the projects that we have executed.
Blueprint and Pilot Management Plan for Water defences
Development of the Blueprint management plan for water defences, organising and advising the national knowledge network as a flywheel for the further professionalisation of water defence management in The Netherlands.
Customer: Institute for Applied Research in Water Management (STOWA)
Improvement of water defences inspection (VIW)
The improvement of inspections of water defences has accelerated following the events in Wilnis and Stein. Infram is the co-organiser of the Institute for Applied Research in Water Management (STOWA) process for Improvement of water defences inspection (VIW), and in this connection, provides advice on process development relating to inspections and inspection methods. As a partner in the Geomatica Business Park, Infram is also involved in the Ijkdijk project.
