The City of Surrey relies on the Nicomekl River Sea Dam to protect low‑lying agricultural lands from tidal flooding and saltwater intrusion. Built more than 100 years ago, the structure no longer meets modern structural, seismic or flood protection standards, particularly as sea levels continue to rise. To address this, the City began planning for a replacement water control structure capable of managing river flows, tides, storm surge and salinity intrusion under future climate conditions, while also improving ecological connectivity and meeting regulatory requirements. DHI supported this work through advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and 3D salinity modelling. The modelling provided the City with an evidence-based understanding of hydraulics, salinity intrusion and scour performance, supporting informed decision-making for a climate-resilient replacement of the Nicomekl River Sea Dam. ➡️𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: https://lnkd.in/gk2v88Pd 📸[Images] 1.

It gave me the opportunity to spend two amazing weeks with my colleagues in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Before the trip, I was excited to experience both work and life in KK. During my time there, I built connections with incredible colleagues, shared experiences from projects the New Zealand Marine & Coast team is working on, learned more about MIKE ECO Lab and ABM through local examples, and gained insight into the exciting projects the local team is delivering. Jonas Brandi Mortensen, my host in KK, mentored me with solving the technical difficulties of a potential project. Now I am confident to go back to the client and convert this opportunity into a project. Beyond the office, I experienced Sabah's rich culture and stunning natural landscapes, from Mount Kinabalu to the mangroves, while enjoying the local cuisine and unforgettable sunsets. Seeing degraded inland and coastal waters during my visit was also a powerful reminder of the environmental challenges associated with urbanisation and tourism development, and the important role DHI can play in supporting better water sustainability.

When tackling plastic pollution in rivers, one question that really matters is: ‘𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙖𝙣?' It may seem like a simple question, but the answer has implications for how we monitor rivers, plan clean-up operations and invest in pollution prevention. A recent study, ‘𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵: 𝘓𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨’, published in 𝘌𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, is the result of DHI’s collaboration with The Ocean Cleanup to better understand how plastics move through river systems.

For many of our early-career colleagues, YWPDK provides a valuable opportunity to connect with peers across the water sector, exchange knowledge and build professional relationships. ‘Water is at the heart of many environmental challenges and of DHI's work. At DHI, I focus on understanding how nutrients, pollutants and other pressures affect ecosystems, using data and modelling to support better environmental management. YWPDK is valuable in bringing together young professionals across the Danish water sector to share knowledge, ideas and build collaborations,’ says Xin Huei Wong, Environmental Engineer in DHI's Marine & Coastal department. DHI also sees the partnership as an important way to help strengthen the future of the water sector. ‘DHI actively supports YWPDK through national and international events, workshops and knowledge-sharing activities. As the water sector undergoes a generational transition, transferring expertise to younger professionals is essential, and we see YWPDK as a key partner in that process,’ says Luis Campos Román, Manager in DHI's Water in Cities department. Thank you to YWPDK for visiting us. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and supporting the next generation of water professionals.

𝗔𝗨𝗩 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗯𝗲𝗹𝘁! As tunnel immersion progresses in The Fehmarnbelt Project in Denmark, DHI’s Marine and Coastal team is supporting the project by completing spill monitoring campaigns using our autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Several campaigns have already taken place, with more planned to follow. Equipped with both optical and acoustic instruments, the AUV has carried out submerged missions close to dredging and specialised vessels used in the project, providing data to assess whether sediment flux is present and, where detected, to quantify it. Kristian Maar, Marine Survey Specialist, explains:  ‘The AUV allows us to take measurements in areas that would otherwise not be easily accessible by boat, which is crucial during the immersion phase of the Fehmarnbelt project. Currently, it measures turbidity and acoustic backscatter, but it can readily be reconfigured to carry additional sensors depending on the task.’ In close collaboration, DHI and Femern A/S have been working together since the early days of the Fehmarnbelt project, developing a comprehensive range of environmental studies and monitoring starting with the initial feasibility assessments in the mid-1990s. Using the AUV for spill monitoring reduces interference with construction activities and minimises health, safety and environment risks while providing accurate data for environmental monitoring.  Thank you to Nortek and RTsys Group for the valued support. 📸𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗨𝗩 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. #Fehmarnbelt #AUV #spillmonitoring #DVL #turbidity #SSC #plume #transect #dredging

Earlier, Søuld shared insights [https://lnkd.in/gjS7vUPc] from their biodiversity analysis of eelgrass collection activities along the Danish coast. DHI supported this work by evaluating current washed-up eelgrass harvesting practices against baseline hydrodynamic, biogeochemical and environmental conditions, and assessing potential environmental and biodiversity impacts. The focus was on whether the practices could affect biodiversity, climate and the environment beyond direct physical disturbance, including potential effects to nutrient removal and CO2 sequestration.   The assessment combined field observations and existing environmental datasets from a marine ecosystem model used in the Danish river basin management plans with prior numerical analyses using MIKE 3 and MIKE ECO Lab. This enabled observed harvesting activities to be evaluated against established hydrodynamic and ecosystem process representations, rather than being inferred from assumptions alone.   Overall, the assessment found no adverse impact on biodiversity or protected species associated with Søuld’s current harvesting practices, providing an evidence-based basis for continuing responsible eelgrass collection along Danish coasts.   👉 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: https://lnkd.in/g2KSNasy

What’s it like to spend a few months working with colleagues halfway across the world? Hear from Peiqi Yeo 杨佩琦, 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿, who recently returned after a Global Mobility Scholarship at DHI’s office in Italy.

The exchange was memorable, offering the opportunity to live and work abroad for a few months while learning from talented experts in our Italy office. What I was most looking forward to was finally meeting in person the colleagues I had been working with remotely. I was also eager to immerse myself in the local culture, from enjoying authentic Italian food (and wine!). Adding an unexpected twist to the journey, the conflict in the Middle East escalated just before my departure, causing significant flight disruptions. Navigating the uncertainty, exploring alternative routes and adapting plans at short notice was unforgettable. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄, 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆? It was eye-opening to learn about the hydrodynamic conditions in another part of the world. Compared to the Mediterranean Sea and many other regions, Singapore generally experiences more sheltered wave conditions, which can lead to different engineering considerations and design assumptions. I enjoyed learning from our colleague about the various names and directions of the local winds in Italy. Another fun fact I learned during the exchange was that the deepest part of Lake Como is actually deeper than the Singapore Strait! Experiences like these broadened my perspective on both the technical and environmental diversity of water systems around the world, while reinforcing the importance of understanding local conditions in our works.

Working on climate adaptation projects in Singapore, I had always wanted to visit Venice, a world-renowned example of coastal resilience. And I finally did! During the trip, a local asked me, ‘What do you do?’ I felt proud to share that I work for a company that contributed to the MOSE flood barrier system, including providing 24/7 operational forecasting support. It was especially meaningful because I just had lunch with the lead modeller behind the system not long ago! A reminder of how closely connected we can be and how our projects that make real-world impacts over the world. 👉 𝗧𝗮𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗤&𝗔: https://lnkd.in/gJwGAWeX
