Reinforcing and improving dikes
To protect the Netherlands, we are building dikes. We do this by moving earth, installing (stone) revetment and water retaining structures. We have the equipment to work from both land and water. We are fully committed to making our equipment sustainable and to reusing materials wherever possible in order to minimize our own impact.
Dike reinforcement Ameland
A great practical example is Dike reinforcement Ameland. There we used smart logistical solutions to get all the necessary materials to the island on time and accelerated construction by as much as a year. We apply innovative solutions in order to optimally integrate dikes into their surroundings.
Glass water barrier
We realized a unique glass water barrier at a dyke reinforcement project in Neer, Limburg. Thanks to this glass dike, the beautiful view of the river Maas was preserved for local residents despite the dike raising.
We protect against the threat of the sea by means of replenishment and building dams or breakwaters. We do this not only in the Netherlands, but also in the rest of Europe or beyond. For example, we are active in Poland, Germany, France and England.
With our seagoing equipment, we occupy a unique position in the market. Like our company, our vessels are big enough to make an impact and small enough to be maneuverable. Their size makes our vessels ideally suited for work close to the coast as well as inland.
Piping Control: an in-house developed, innovative method to combat piping of dikes is the application of geotextile vertically in the (toe of the) dike. This method causes little inconvenience to the surroundings and is accurate and fast.
