The BT turnbuckle system was able to play entirely to its strengths in the renovation of the left Sude dyke Mahnkenwerder near Boizenburg. In order to minimise the encroachment and on account of the cramped conditions, the flood barrier was to be implemented in the vicinity of the pumping station by a 2-metre wide and 2.5-metre high L-shaped retaining wall. This task could only be accomplished sensibly with prefabricated elements. A fast assembly was also required in order to optimise the costs of lifting equipment and wages. In the competition for the contract, the manufacturer of the L-shaped elements discussed the BT turnbuckle system with the client.
