| Abstract: | Simple cause – extensive damage. Continuation of a complex project in connection with an accident. In September 2008 at the Müritz‐Elde‐channel the new weir Lewitz could be started‐up. The originally planned construction period amounted to 15 months; however, about three years were actually needed. During the production of a temporary bypass in March 2006 an accident occurred. The consequences of the damage had to be eliminated first, before the planned project could be continued. Subsequently, the construction sequences and procedures had to be adapted to the changed boundary conditions. The accident, the removal of the damages and the effects to the building contract are represented in the following. |
