Project documentation

More about what preceded the start of work on the project documentation in the "History of the project" section, which actually ends on 2 December 2024. On that day, the DS received preliminary information No. 2 from the Agency for Nature Conservation and Landscape Protection of the Regional Workplace Administration of the Czech Central Highlands Protected Landscape Area, in which the mast height of 21 m is already accepted. The way was opened...

Even before that, just as one of the arguments for obtaining the consent of the Czech Central Highlands Protected Landscape Area, on 28 October 2024 Atlas Group Ltd., a provider of geodetic services, prepared a free survey of the wind pump for the association based on the dimensions of the preserved waterworks and suitable historical photographs taken by an employee of the Museum of the City of Ústí nad Labem at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s.

The survey of the waterworks and the pump mast were handed over to Petr Monček from Malenovice (near Zlín), who will provide the construction part of the project including the static calculation of the mast structure. The mechanical part of the project will be prepared by Michal Hofman from Čeřeniště.

On 1 April 2025, a trip was made to Višňové (near Znojmo), where the wind pump is supplied by the same company as the one in Němčí. The tour, conducted by Michal Hofman in the presence of the chairman of the association, was also attended by the vice-mayor of Višňové, Pavel Havelka. In the next phase, a drone will arrive to take pictures of the pump's top and create a 3D model of it. This will be helpful for the preparation of the drawings. The representative of the township has shown considerable interest in the event as inspiration for their next course of action and has asked for pictures and video from the drone to be sent. And also for the processed drawings. 

The following block of photographs "from the field" documents Michal Hofman's ascent to the handling platform under the paddle wheel. The ladder was lent by a helpful neighbour. The last 3 pictures document the building with the well, whose water was transported by the pump to the water tank. The block of photographs "from the platform" contains images taken by Michal Hofman.  The photo gallery of the Višňové wind pump will be supplemented by a block of photos "from the drone".
