Balgstuw Ramspol, Inflatable rubber dam in Ramspol, Netherlands
The Balgstuw Ramspol consists of three inflatable rubber membranes stretching 240 meters across the water between Ketelmeer and Zwarte Water rivers.
The construction of this flood protection system marked a significant advancement in Dutch water management, addressing the recurring flooding issues in the IJssel delta region.
This engineering structure represents the Dutch expertise in water management, demonstrating innovative solutions for protecting communities in low-lying areas.
The rubber dam requires only one hour to fully inflate to its maximum height of ten meters, creating an effective barrier against rising water levels.
The structure incorporates natural forces in its operation, as water enters through specific vents while air fills the membrane, ensuring stability during flood conditions.
