| Abstract: | The water sector within the Civil Engineering (CE) industry is subject to an increasing complexity within their projects caused by global and national transformations in the field of for example politics, climate change, economics and innovation. This thesis focuses specifically on multi-functional flood defence projects and three essential CE topics which continuously co-develop alongside these transformations, namely sustainability, functionality and stakeholders. The expanding complexity of the multi-functional flood defence projects results in more design and building issues, which need to be tackled by innovative solutions. The Hydraulic Engineering department of Consultancy Movares recently has thought of a new innovation specifically for the flood defence sector: the water-filled dyke (WFD). Movares’ idea for the WFD concept originates from a tender for the Dutch municipality ’Haarlemmermeerpolder’ case. Theaimofthisresearchistogaininsightintothethreeresearchtopicsandtodevelopan assessment framework for multi-functional flood defence projects with the aid of the WFD concept as an example. The framework assures a more efficient working process within Movares and it acts as a tool to develop and assess innovations. The main research question following from the research aim is: What does a framework look like that assesses the feasibility of multi-functional flood defence solutions, from a sustainable, functional and stakeholder perspective? |
