Inspect
What do we look for when inspecting the flood defences? We check for damage to the dike. All flood defences are inspected and tested by two certified inspectors using a probe (four-eyes principle). We look for damage to the revetment, wet spots, subsidence or bulging, among other things. We record all our observations in a database using the 'digispectie app'.
The condition of our dikes
The inspection provides us with an up-to-date and detailed picture of the condition of our dikes. Based on this, we assess the damage and can plan and carry out our maintenance work, starting with the most urgent and important repairs. Leaseholders, tenants, or owners of a dike are responsible for its maintenance.
Multiple inspections
Our area managers monitor the condition of the dikes on a daily basis. This is a general inspection, focused on supervision identifying damage. We carry out additional checks in the spring, autumn, and when special circumstances arise. Special circumstances include prolonged drought in the spring/summer and the risk of high water and storms in the autumn.
