When TKMS in Kiel needed a new pier near its submarine shipyard, the water depth in the harbour basin needed to be increased at the same time.
The entire area had to be searched for ammunition and bombs left over from the Second World War. This search was done using Elisabeth Høj.
The excavated material was sifted through a sieve and inspected by an ammunition expert. Then, the material was loaded onto a barge and tugged to a disposal site.
