In 1857, Dalmann temporarily took over the post of hydraulic engineering director in Hamburg from Heinrich Hübbe . In 1864 the office was finally transferred to him. The background to this decision was Dalmann's position on the dispute over whether the port of Hamburg should be expanded as a dock port or as an open tidal port . On the basis of his investigations into the flow conditions of the Elbe, he published his investigation on current corrections in the flood area , which spoke as an argument in favor of the tidal port.

As director of hydraulic engineering, he then built the open tidal port himself. Dalmann expanded the port along the Norderelbe by building sheds and quays on both banks of the Elbe from 1866 onwards. This was the first time that steamboats and trains were connected to the North Sea in Hamburg. In 1872 the first transshipment from ship to rail took place on the Kaiserkai that he built .

Dalmann was buried in the St. Jacobi cemetery in Hamburg-Eilbek in 1875 . In 1960 the grave site was relocated to the Ohlsdorf cemetery near Nordteich and Stiller Weg (grid square AA 15), whereby only the bronze plaque and lion sculpture were implemented from the original grave complex. In the Ohlsdorf Althamburg Memorial Cemetery there is also a memorial grave for Dalmann (grave plate 35) together with his predecessor Heinrich Hübbe (1803–1871).

Today's Dalmannkai in Hamburg's Hafencity is named after Dalmann .
