Completion of the reconstruction of the Kobelanka stream bed

At the end of August, the reconstruction of the Kobelanka stream bed in the Sušírna section, which began before the summer holidays, was successfully completed.

The aim of the project was to improve the flow of the stream, protect the surrounding property and return the watercourse to its original location.

The reconstruction proceeded according to plan – the stream bed was completely dug up, modified and the newly defined banks were reinforced with gabions filled with stone from the Hošťálková quarry. These modifications will ensure long-term stability of the banks and improve water drainage during heavy rains. The project also included landscaping and filling in the adjacent gardens. The affected land was restored to its original or even better condition in order to minimise the burden on residents during the construction work.

The total cost of the project was CZK 6,807,053 excluding VAT. A significant portion of the costs, namely 70%, will be covered by a subsidy from the Ministry of Regional Development, with the remainder to be paid from the municipal budget. The construction was carried out by Swietelsky, which ensured the high-quality execution of all work according to the set schedule.

We would like to thank all residents in the vicinity of the construction site for their patience and cooperation during the implementation.

The stream bed is being completely dug out and modified to return it to its original watercourse. The newly defined banks are being reinforced with wire gabions filled with crushed stone from the Hošťálková quarry. This modification will ensure greater stability and protection against erosion. At the same time, the adjacent gardens of the family houses are being modified and filled in so that the reconstruction affects normal operations as little as possible. The surrounding land will be restored to its original condition.

There have been long-term problems with the erosion of the Kobelanka riverbed and damage to the bank reinforcement in Na sušírnu Street. At the same time, the water threatens adjacent gardens and family houses. As part of the construction, the bank reinforcement will be modified from the weir at the Palů family's property, where the Kobelanka flows between the gardens.

The banks will be reinforced with gabions, and stone steps will be placed in the stream bed. The existing stream bed has eroded several meters of land from the adjacent gardens. The modification will restore the stream bed to its original state and to the plot owned by the municipality. The construction work is also a flood prevention measure that will protect the gardens and family houses adjacent to the stream in the future. Modifying the stream in this location will be very difficult, as access to the bed is limited. SWIETELSKY stavební s.r.o. offered the lowest price in the tender. The project will be implemented for a total amount of CZK 6,807,053 including VAT. We will receive a subsidy of 70% of this amount.

Our municipality faces damage to property due to flash floods or flooding practically every year. The last very severe flood was in September last year. The Ministry of Regional Development regularly issues calls for subsidies for the repair of municipal property after floods. Thanks to these calls, we have already managed to repair many local roads and bridges in recent years.
