The safety assessment consists of passing through different phases:
- A Global check according to the global assessment rules as given in the VTV-2006 and Handreiking Voorland Zettingsvloeiingen of Deltares:
- A Detailed check according to the probabilistic assessment method described in the Handreiking Voorland Zettingsvloeiingen;
- An Advanced check, using two advanced programs of Deltares, that give no direct assessment result (approved, disapproved, etc), but can be used for further advanced (probabilistic) analysis:
- SLIQ2D for the Advanced check for static liquefaction;
- HMBreach/HMTurb for the Advanced check for breach flow.
