Odra-Vistula Flood Management Project

Poland

Helping protect communities along the Odra and Upper Vistula rivers from the threat of flooding, we’re helping to deliver the £997 million Odra-Vistula flood management project (OVFMP), one of the largest flood protection schemes in Europe.

Our flood protection specialists are involved in two programmes within the OVFMP. In the first we are involved in two components: the construction of the Racibórz Dolny flood-prevention dry polder and the modernisation of the Wrocław floodway system. This programme is to protect Western Poland’s biggest city of Wrocław and other cities located on the Odra River between Racibórz and Wrocław, which in 1997 suffered catastrophic flooding, causing 56 deaths and £2.6 billion worth of damage.

AECOM is providing a range of services for this programme, including project management, design, contractor selection assistance, works supervision, and budget management.

In the second programme, as consultant engineer, we’re engaged in the design preparation and construction supervision of infrastructure to protect the city of Kraków and towns Wieliczka, Tarnów, Sandomierz and Tarnobrzeg from flooding, , and will provide overall project management and technical assistance.
