Met effectieve oplossingen in grondverzet, het aanbrengen van (steen)bekleding en de realisatie van waterkerende constructies, houden we het achterland veilig. We beschikken over eigen materieel om zowel vanaf het land als vanaf het water te werken. Bij de inzet van ons materieel kijken we altijd hoe we de uitstoot zo veel mogelijk kunnen reduceren. Steeds meer van ons eigen materieel is elektrisch of hybride.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nederland kent een grote opgave in het versterken van onze dijken. In het kader van het Hoogwaterbeschermingsprogramma (HWBP) zullen we met elkaar zo\u2019n tweeduizend kilometer aan dijken verhogen en versterken de komende decennia. Meerdere disciplines komen hierin samen: grondwerk, constructies zoals damwanden en steen- en zetwerk. Wij beschikken over de kennis en kunde om elk type dijkproject tot een goed einde te brengen. De komende jaren werkt Van den Herik onder andere aan de versterking van 21km dijk langs de Maas tussen Cuijck en Ravenstein en aan dijk- en beekherstel tussen het Limburgse Thorn en Wessem.<\/p>\n

Innovatieve keerwand in Limburg<\/strong>
\nIn het Limburgse Neer hebben we de aanwezige dijk met een lengte van 1,6 kilometer verhoogd en deels vervangen. We hebben een keermuur en nieuwe coupures aangebracht en aanpassingen gedaan aan de stuwen. Deze keermuur is voor een deel uitgevoerd met glazen panelen. Een unieke en innovatieve toepassing. Dankzij de glazen kering hebben de bewoners nog steeds een prachtige uitzicht op de Maas, maar zijn ze beschermd tegen het water.<\/p>\n

Working on and near a dike is often complex because of the many functions a dike has. A dike is not only a barrier, but often a road, bike path, residential, recreational or natural area.<\/p>\n

We are therefore firmly committed to good environmental management. Through clear communication with the environment – local residents, businesses and other stakeholders – we steer a project in the right direction. <\/p>\n

Piping Control: an in-house developed, innovative method to apply geotextile vertically in the (toe of the) dike and prevent piping. This method is durable, offers little inconvenience and is accurate and fast. Want to know more about this innovative approach?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
