In this era of climate change, the Hydraulics Laboratory in Antwerp (Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium) has taken an important step. The new, larger wave flume opens up unprecedented possibilities for studying extreme weather and developing coastal protection solutions.
The wave flume: an essential facility
This specialised facility simulates waves and water movement in a controlled environment. The size of new wave flume in Antwerp is impressive: 84 metres long, 2 metres wide and 2.5 metres deep. This is a significant improvement compared to the existing smaller flumes.
The importance of physical models
Although computer models play an important role in modern research, physical models such as the wave flume remain indispensable. The Flemish Agency for Maritime Services and Coast says: ‘Waves cannot simply be analyzed in formulas.’ The combination of physical and numerical models provides researchers with a more complete picture of extreme weather forces.
Applications and research opportunities
The new wave flume offers a wide range of research opportunities, including:
Coastal protection
Offshore structures
Ports and maritime infrastructure
Climate adaptation
Erosion survey
The role of CONSMEMA Metalworking
The construction of the new wave flume was carried out by the Dutch company CONSMEMA Metalworking. This company’s history dates back to 1924. It had a crucial role in the realisation of this project. Experience in complex metalwork and innovative approach in hydrodynamic and hydraulic mechanical projects made them the ideal partner for this specialised job.
CONSMEMA’s expertise in building scale models, wave flumes and flow channels, tow vehicles and test rigs was indispensable to the success of this project. Their involvement underlines the importance of teamwork between different areas of expertise in addressing the challenges posed by climate change.
Advanced technology and precision engineering applied by CONSMEMA ensure that the new wave flume meets the highest standards of accuracy and reliability. This is essential for conducting reliable research on the effects of extreme weather conditions on our coast and maritime infrastructure.e weather conditions on our coastal areas and maritime infrastructure.
The Hydraulic Laboratory:
The Antwerp Hydraulic Laboratory is part of the Department of Mobility and Public Works. It has played a vital role in researching the impact of human activities and natural processes on water systems for more than 90 years. The new wave flume will strengthen the laboratory’s position as a leading research centre in the field of hydraulic engineering and maritime technology.
Conclusion: an investment in our future
The new wave flume in Antwerp, made possible by the expertise of CONSMEMA Metalworking, is more than just technological progress. It is a crucial investment in the safety and sustainability of our coast and maritime infrastructure.
As Filip Boelaert, secretary general of the Department of Mobility and Public Works, said: “This opens doors for research into the impact of climate change and rising sea levels on our coast.” With this new facility, Antwerp can better than ever meet tomorrow’s challenges and develop solutions that will benefit not only Belgium, but coastal regions worldwide.
Multidisciplinary teamwork between government agencies, research institutions and specialised companies such as CONSMEMA Metalworking is essential in tackling complex problems such as climate adaptation. Investing in advanced research facilities and bringing together expertise from different sectors is an important step towards a resilient and sustainable future for our coastal areas and maritime infrastructure.
