Sandaufspülung Borkum November 2024

[@danlowe8684]

Once you interfere with the natural longshore drift of sand via structural means (groynes, in this case), you are forever committed to endless future interventions and maintenance.

@@joyner4797 I understand your stance, but I have been researching this for a few years now (I do not claim to be an expert). But from what I have learned, the original reason for beach erosion has a cause. It may be a harbor that has been created, which draws the sand into its entry. It may be a dam that has been built upstream of a river that once deposited its sand onto the beach (and no longer does). It may be from offshore mining of sand for use in concrete (and now takes sand from beaches to refill areas mined.) It may be from seawalls constructed that now have too much turbulence to allow deposition of sand to occur. Or it may be that the humans cannot wait the several years between erosion and eventual deposition that naturally occur. It may be something that was done three decades ago that no one remembers. It may have been the mining of beach sand that was thought too thick to deal with. It may have been the hotel that needed better placement due to the high sand mounds between the parking lot and the beach.

@@joyner4797 Either the beach is eroding naturally (and sandy beaches do change over time), or it's eroding due to human structures/interference. Either way, it's a ridiculous recurring cost to keep fighting it. And buildings that need such intervention to keep from being swept away should never have been built in the first place, and probably shouldn't be kept around.

Nice video 😍😍

Playing on the beach and getting paid to do it, nice.

TOLLE GESICHTE

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

Well that made no sense ! Built a ramp to then just chuck the pipes off the side ?

[@ulsch1360]

Die Baumaschinen und Werkzeugcontainer wurden über die Rampe entladen. Ein Abwerfen an der Seite - wie bei den Rohren - wäre ihnen wohl nicht so gut bekommen.

[@ulsch1360]

The construction machinery and tool containers were unloaded via the ramp. Throwing them off to the side - like with the pipes - would probably not be so good for them.

In English, what am I watching?

[@ulsch1360]

In the first week of November 2024, sand was washed up on the Borkum West Beach between groynes 21 and 17, as some groyne heads were in danger of losing stability due to the currents caused by the upstream (and constantly changing) sandbank (according to information from the Borkum press). At the beginning of the video you can see the work material being unloaded from a beached barge via a sand ramp until late in the evening. After that you can see several steps in the first week of November. The final scene shows the status of the nourishment on the penultimate working day from the upper beach wall on the main beach. If you want to see the complete end result, you will probably have to go to Borkum yourself. Or watch one of the Borkum webcams from the main beach.

@@ulsch1360 and? purpose of moving the sand 5 feet?

@@thegrindfather An den Buhnen wurde offenbar durch die Strömungen, die durch die dem Strand vorgelagerte Sandbank entstanden waren, zu viel Sand weggespült. Um diesen Sand zu ersetzen wurde der Sand aufgespült. Durch die Aufspülung des ganzen Bereiches zwischen den Buhnen wurde außerdem der Verlauf der Priele so geändert, dass die Gefahr weitere Sandverluste an den Buhnen verringert wurde. Übersetzung: Apparently too much sand was washed away at the groynes by the currents created by the sandbank in front of the beach. To replace this sand, the sand was washed up. By flushing the entire area between the groynes, the course of the tidal creeks was also changed in such a way that the risk of further sand loss on the groynes was reduced.
