The overall objective of the project is to improve the flood protection infrastructure of the Sava defence embankment in the Brcko District area (BiH) and to reconstruct Sections II, III, IV and V. The Central Posavina area is protected from high water levels of the Sava River by the embankment constructed between Krepsic and Bosanski Samac. Construction of this embankment necessitated the “divisioning” of the area protected from the high waters of the Sava River. The divisions cover areas from which water cannot be drained by gravitation during maximum water flow. The area belonging to Brcko District in Bosnia and Herzegovina, from chainage km. 0+000,00 to chainage km. 9+650,00 and the evacuation of inland and mountain floodwater during high water levels of the Sava river is achieved by using the reconstructed Djurici pumping station facility in Vucilovac. The design documentation addressed the stretch of the embankment in Brcko District in Bosnia and Herzegovina over a total length of L=8.282, 19 m. Since landslides were registered only on section I during the development of the Main design (at chainage km. 0+311,07 and chainage km. 0+362,92) a proposal was made to start with the reconstruction from the starting chainage toward the end chainage. Beneficiary (Brcko District) completed works on the reconstruction on section I (chainage km. 0+000,00 to chainage km. 1+500,00), and a part of section II (ch. Km. 3+014,07 to ch. Km. 3+215,19) as well as works on the reconstruction of a part of section IV (ch. K. 7+328,54 to ch. Km 7+879,95) of the Sava protective embankment in Brcko District.

Implementation of this project will result in: - Improved flood protection infrastructure in the following sections: a) Section II chainage: 2+878,03 – 3+014,04 and 3+215,19 – 4+646,13 (total length of reconstruction L=1566,95m) b) Section III chainage: 4+646,13 – 6+138,33 (total length of reconstruction L=1492,20m) c) Section IV chainage: 6+138,33 – 7+328,54 and 7+879,95 – 8+129,16 (total length of reconstruction L=1439,42m) d) Section V chainage: 8+129,16 – 9+660,22 (total length of reconstruction L=1531,06m) - In overall total length of 6.029,63 m.
