“Weir gates and control devices in hydraulic engineering” is the topic that speakers at the Nuremberg Hydraulic Engineering Symposium (NWS) will explore on 8 December 2022.

There are only very few hydraulic structures that can meet the tasks they were designed to address without a weir gate or at least one control device. At the same time, the range of potential materials and control techniques and technologies varies greatly. As system monitoring, operating in extreme situations, damage, material deterioration, or new ground-breaking solutions also have their part to play in hydraulic engineering, there are plenty of topics to address at our symposium. The speakers we have invited will report on planning, use, operation, and maintenance of weir gates and control devices and most certainly prompt discussion.

The lecture programme is geared towards architects, engineering offices, representatives of authorities, and universities.

Nuremberg Hydraulic Engineering Symposium 2020

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

The Nuremberg Hydraulic Engineering Symposium 2020, which was scheduled for 10 December 2020, on the theme “Weir gates and control devices in hydraulic engineering” has been cancelled due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The decision to cancel the symposium was not an easy one to make, as we look forward to organising and hosting this event each year. We are also aware that many participants look forward to the symposium at the end of the year and value the interesting presentations, personal contact, and collegial exchange during the symposium and the evening before.

We hope for better chances in 2021.

Your NWS organizing team from the IWWN

Nuremberg Hydraulic Engineering Symposium 12/12/2019

From the quay to the dam

Quays and dams are massive hydraulic structures which have to absorb different loads, are permanently exposed to the water, and exhibit only few similarities in operation and management. The idea of linking up topics from navigable waterway engineering and water-retaining structures was the main focus when choosing the subject for the NWS 2019.

Resilience of hydraulic structures from current perspectives

The resilience of hydraulic structures from current perspectives, i.e. the capacity for hydraulic engineering installations to offset the negative impact of extreme events, overloads or disasters are some of the questions and issues
that were discussed at the 2018 Nuremberg Hydraulic Engineering Symposium on 13 December at Nuremberg Tech.

50th anniversary of the Hydraulic engineering lab at Nuremberg Institute of Technology

It may be small, but it really delivers! – The Hydraulic engineering lab in the KB building at Nuremberg Tech is this year celebrating its 50th birthday. This was the slogan for the Nuremberg Hydraulic Engineering Symposium on 15 December 2016.
