FLOOD PROTECTION<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The effects of climate change are evident. We have to deal with extreme weather conditions more often. An important part of our work is keeping the Netherlands safe and dry and protecting it from high water and flooding. This is becoming increasingly urgent. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Flood prevention<\/strong>
\nTogether, we face a major challenge: strengthening two thousand kilometers of dikes and renovating four hundred locks and pumping stations. That is why Rijkswaterstaat, in cooperation with twenty-one water boards, has set up the High Water Protection Program<\/em> (HWBP). Van den Herik is contributing to this with effective solutions. <\/p>\n

Versterken en verbeteren van dijken<\/strong>
\nOm Nederland te beschermen tegen hoogwater en overstromingen, bouwen we aan dijken. Dat doen we met grondverzet, het aanbrengen van (steen)bekleding en met waterkerende constructies. We beschikken over het juiste materieel om zowel vanaf het land als het water te werken. Om onze eigen impact zo klein mogelijk te houden, zetten we volop in op verduurzaming van ons materieel en waar mogelijk hergebruik van materialen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dijkversterking Ameland<\/strong>
\nEen mooi praktijkvoorbeeld is de dijkversterking Ameland<\/a>. We hebben met slimme logistieke oplossingen alle benodigde materialen op tijd op het eiland kunnen krijgen en de uitvoering met maar liefst een jaar weten te versnellen. Om dijken optimaal in te passen in de omgeving, passen we innovatieve oplossingen toe.<\/p>\n

Glazen waterkering<\/strong>
\nZo realiseerden we een unieke glazen waterkering bij een dijkversterking in het Limburgse Neer<\/a>. Dankzij deze glazen dijk bleef ondanks de dijkverhoging het prachtige uitzicht op de Maas voor de omwonenden toch behouden.<\/p>\n

We beschermen Nederland tegen de dreiging van de zee met behulp van suppleties en het bouwen van dammen of golfbrekers. Dat doen we niet alleen in Nederland, maar ook in de rest van Europa en daarbuiten. Zo zijn we onder andere actief in Polen, Duitsland, Frankrijk en Engeland.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Met ons zeegaand materieel bekleden we een unieke positie in de markt. Onze schepen zijn namelijk, net als ons bedrijf, groot genoeg om impact te maken en klein genoeg om wendbaar te zijn. Dankzij hun formaat zijn onze schepen uitermate geschikt voor werkzaamheden vlak langs de kust en landinwaarts.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n

We developed the innovative Piping Control method in-house. This enables us to prevent piping of dikes by applying geotextiles vertically in the (toe of the) dike. This method causes little inconvenience to the surroundings and is accurate and fast. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
