DHV to develop an ecological coastal city in China
Sustainable urban development evokes the Dutch Wadden Sea

The engineering consultancy DHV has been commissioned, together with the Chinese planning institute Qinghua and the Arup consultancy from the UK, to respectively carry out a prestigious coastal and urban development project in China. The coastal city is to be built on an area of 150 km2 and will soon have to provide space for one million inhabitants. DHV won the assignment by including in its concept for the area an island and lagoon structure, which reminds one of the Dutch Wadden Sea. The concept allows for the creation of fresh ground-water in a sustainable manner for use in the city¡¯s green spaces. The international jury, consisting of experts from Italy, Sweden, and China, complimented the proposal for the way it combined coastal development, energy, water, and transport into an attractive urban design.

The new coastal city will be built in Caofeidian, an industrial zone in North China on the Bohai Sea. ¡°Caofeidian has to become the model for China and the rest of the world of a Chinese ecological coastal city,¡±says Dick Kevelam, DHV¡¯s advisor on coastal development. Because of the coastal location in a salt-water area, and because of the limited rainfall in the north of China, there is little fresh water available for the future inhabitants. ¡°One of this project¡¯s challenges is to capture and recycle fresh water in as a sustainable manner as possible,¡° according to Mr Kevelam. ¡°There is a lot of talk about ¡®sustainable urban planning¡¯ in our business, and DHV has the expertise to actually bring it about in challenging projects.¡±
At high tide, the outer islands off the coast form a sea defense wall that offers flood protection for the lagoon, which is located behind. The city is to be built on islands in the lagoon. The islands will be raised a number of meters above the salt water, by drawing sand from the lagoon. The lagoon design will restore part of the original tidal mud-flat coast in this area and will save those areas that still exist. ¡°In this case we¡¯re not creating land in the sea, rather we¡¯re returning water to the land in a controlled manner, thus re-creating a natural dynamic,¡± as Mr Kevelam puts it. In order to adapt the Dutch know-how as much as possible to China, DHV is working very closely on the project with its colleagues in Shanghai.

In early 2009, the city¡¯s construction will begin next to an industrial port comparable in size to that of the Port of Rotterdam. The port, which is being further developed very rapidly, is today partly operational. The Caofeidian New Coastal City is the second large coastal project that DHV has designed for China recently. In the other case, the Chinese were enthusiastic about the ¡°Delta Diamonds¡±, a 75 km2 polder land-reclamation project for the urban, economic, and ecological development of Tianjin, China¡¯s largest import harbor. This project is currently underway.

Construction drawings finished for Tianjin Tongnan Bridge Won second round entry for Liulin Bridge

DHV Shanghai won the Tongnan bridge in 2004. After discussing with the client during the half year, we eventually satisfied all the requirements from all the aspects. July.2005,DHV Shanghai and Tianjin Municipal Engineering Design Institute (TMEDI) began to make the preliminary design for the 128M plover combination frame bridge. As it is not confirmed in Chinese standard whether cast steel is be used in bridge, so it is very difficult to use it in the design. The construction drawings in Dec.2005.VHA and DELCAN are the consultants of Tongnan bridge. Now the project is inviting public bidding and examining some major frame components.

Due to the fineness action in Tongnan bridge, DHV Shanghai was invited to the Liulin bridge design international competition. The design team is including DHV, VHA and DELCAN. Through expertise evaluation, our concept stands out of 12 competitors and became one of four excellent concepts recommended to the city council. Tianjin municipal government will at last choose 3 concepts to apply on 3 different places on Haihe.

Liulin bridge is located in the backward position of Haihe, and Liulin Bridge is located inside the Science and Technology District (STD), near the Outer Ring road. The bridge goes across the 200m wide river. The bridge width is 50m, including 6 vehicle lanes, 2 bike lanes and 2 pedestrian lanes. The bridge connects the Science and Technology District to the north of the Hai He River and the Liulin Scenic Spot to the south of the Hai He River.

The design inspiration comes from the dragonflies flying along the river. There is a row of main pier in the middle of the river, from which develops two symmetrical 90m span hanging structure. As the Chinese saying ¡°a dragonfly slightly touching water face¡±, the bridge form is dynamic. Reasonable structure system combining with the creative form is the soul of this design.
