Oosterscheldekering / De Banjaard Beach.
The Oosterscheldekering (Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier) is another storm surge barrier located between the islands Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland in the Netherlands.
It is the largest of the 13 Delta Works constructions, the most expensive and the most difficult to build.
The nine-kilometre-long Oosterscheldekering was initially designed, and partly built, as a closed dam, but after public protest, huge sluice-gate-type doors were installed in the remaining four kilometers. These doors are normally open, but can be closed under adverse weather conditions.
In this way, the saltwater marine life behind the dam is preserved and fishing can continue, while the land behind the dam is safe from the water.
Since its opening in 1986, the dam has been closed twenty-five times due to water levels exceeding or being predicted to exceed the three meters.
The dam is designed to last more than 200 years.

The Oosterscheldekering (in English: Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier), between the islands Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland, is the largest of the 13 ambitious Delta Works series of dams and storm surge barriers, designed to protect the Netherlands from flooding from the North Sea. The construction of the Delta Works was in response to the widespread damage and loss of life due to the North Sea Flood of 1953.

The Oosterschelde storm surge barrier (1976-1986)
The construction of the 9 kilometer long storm surge barrier the “Oosterscheldekering” is a complex and unique project. A structure of such enormous dimensions has never been built. The barrier consists of 65 pillars of 30 to 40 meters high and 62 sliders of 42 meters wide and 6 to 12 meters high. That makes the defense barrier (cost 2.5 billion euro) one of the most impressive hydraulic constructions in The Netherlands.
A lot of discussion precedes the construction of the barrier. At first, the plan is to close off the Oosterschelde with a solid dam. However, fishermen and nature conservationists revolt against this plan. The Oosterschelde is a unique nature reserve with more than 70 species of fish, 140 species of aquatic plants and algae and 350 species of benthic animals, which live on the sea bed. Building a solid dam would result in this nature reserve suffering irreparable damage.
Oosterschelde Open
Completely closing off the sea arm means the end of the salt water environment in the Oosterschelde and therefore also the cultivation of mussels and oysters. The protest – with the Oosterschelde Open as battle cry – does not fall on deaf ears. In 1975, the then Cabinet came up with the proposal to build an open barrier that could be closed by means of gates – if necessary.
A permeable barrier is much more expensive than a solid dam and thus the Cabinet’s proposal leads to fierce debates. In 1979 parliament approved the plan for the construction of the Oosterscheldekering.

My Citroën Ami 8 Club (1970) parked on the slopes of Neeltje Jans, the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier. It is the largest of the Delta Works, a series of dams and storm surge barriers, designed to protect the Netherlands from flooding from the North Sea. Construction started in April 1976 and was completed in June 1986.
This dike section is located along the Wevers and Flaauwersinlaag, Heerenkeet and Polder Schouwen.
It’s located on the Oosterschelde on the island of Schouwen-Duiveland, approximately halfway between the Oosterscheldekering and Zierikzee.
The current dike has an asphalt revetment that has already been overlaid with rubble and has been penetrated with vertical strips. It is therefore not a set cladding and therefore does not fall within the Seawalls Project. The covering is brought to safety during the execution. The dike fall and the remains of the old sea dike with the foreland are the focus of the ecological project "rich dike". It is also recommended to combine these activities resulting from this with the improvement of the revetment in adjacent sub-areas. It has been proposed to install a sand bank at the rear of this refuge (in front of the dike). This functions as a sand motor to maintain the salt marsh between the old dike remains. To prevent the sand from being washed away too quickly, a breakwater of released limestone has been provided between these old dike remains. A memo describes the breakwater design.
The Flaauwershaven is a special object, the design for this is not elaborated in the general memorandum. A separate design note has been drawn up for this. These activities will be taken into account simultaneously with the improvement of the cladding. The adjustments to the port area are being carried out in collaboration with the Van Zierik tot Zee project.
In the past it was a work harbor, and nicer for a photo then on this moment.

The tarmac world of the Brouwersdam.
The Delta Works is a series of construction projects in the southwest of the Netherlands to protect a large area of land around the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta from the sea. The works consist of dams, sluices, locks, dykes, levees, and storm surge barriers. The aim of the dams, sluices, and storm surge barriers was to shorten the Dutch coastline, thus reducing the number of dikes that had to be raised.
The Oosterscheldekering (in English: Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier), between the islands Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland, is the largest of the 13 ambitious Delta works series of dams, designed to protect the Netherlands from flooding.

We originally planned to meet some friends in Kamperland, Zeeland, for a long bike ride, promising ourselves mussels and fries at Neeltje Jans afterward. For those unfamiliar with the region, Neeltje Jans is a 285-hectare island situated halfway along the Oosterscheldekering. Originally a work island, it is now a recreation area with an information and attraction park.
Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate. While we avoided the rain, we faced 7 Beaufort winds, making a bike ride dangerous. Instead, we decided to watch the kite surfers at the Oosterscheldekering, a dam and storm surge barrier between Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland. Watching the kite surfers was spectacular! And yes, we still treated ourselves to those delicious mussels and fries at Neeltje Jans in the end. 😊
