Since the founding of the city of St. Petersburg in 1703, the low-lying areas of the city have suffered from flooding caused by storm surges travelling up the Baltic Sea. These occur about once each year, due to high winds and low barometric pressure causing surges in sea level.

This paper describes the planning, design, construction and operation of the project, which has cost about $ 3 billion. The barrier includes the following main components : • embankment dams • 6 sluice complexes to accommodate river flow • a 200m wide main navigation channel, ...
