Saint Petersburg Flood Protection Complex

The complex of flood protection structures of St. Petersburg in Kronstadt is a dam 25.4 kilometers long with a wave-breaking wall 7.5 meters high. All water flow spans are equipped with segment gates weighing 280 tons, and the central span of the bridge over the S-2 structure is a vertical-lift span weighing 2300 tons. The first official closure of the complex to protect the city occurred on November 28, 2011, which reduced the surge height by one meter and delayed the movement of 23 vessels. The dam territory and the unfinished S-1 and S-2 structures have repeatedly been used as filming locations for the movies "Upyr," "Antikiller," "Ugly Swans," "Bunker" and the TV series "Deadly Force" and "Bratva."
