The port of Emden is situated in north-west Germany nearby the Dutch border in the Ems- Dollart-estuary. The port area is more than 20.000.000 m2, with more than 20 km of quay walls, piers and embankments and nearly 40 berths for vessels up to 80.000 tdw. There are also two sea-locks, movable bridges and some gates in the sea-dyke. To optimize all maintenance works in the port of Emden, in the last five years an information system was installed, to get at each time a very good idea about the using and the state of constructions, roads and fairways. The information system is called DigiHaK, means "digital harbour land register" and is a so called Geographical Information System (GIS). There are six parts of information: 1. Geo information about land-use, in the harbour 2. State of the surface of an area; road surfacing, railways, terminals, stocking area etc. 3. Harbour constructions like quay walls, piers, bridges, locks, embankments, etc. 4. Description of the state of the construction, when will be the next survey? 5. Subsoil information with thickness of soil layers, soil mechanical data, etc. 6. Results of echo measurements in the fairways and docks. All this information are collected in separate data warehouses. A main data base guaranties that there will be no redundancy. Each data warehouse is connected with the main data base. To get all this information six main steps were necessary for the planning to do all this work: 1. Learning the knowledge of computer aided design and working in a group! 2. Developing of a digitally vector based map of the harbour and its surrounding 3. Building of several data warehouses and the main data base! 4. Input of all available information, but how to get this information? 5. Building of convenient queries, to find the correct answer to possible questions. 6. Setting up the DigiHaK - GIS into the port intranet! All this items seem in the beginning as a very simple work, because other people have done it before. Special software is available. But a lot of difficulties, beginning with building a model for the CAD-structure over the adaptation of existing software to our problems and ending with data protecting had hem the way very often. The paper deals with about this difficulties and the solutions found out to arrive at the finishing line. It gives an introduction what is to do, to guarantee that the system will work also in future. |
