Sea lock IJmuiden

The water structural work of the Netherlands

Project description

Sea lock IJmuiden

The name says it all. IJmuiden has a new sea lock. This upgrade to the port area was much needed. By 2029, the Noordersluis would have reached the end of its technical lifespan. Having faithfully served for almost 100 years, it was time for renewal. Another factor was that the size of ocean-going vessels has significantly increased. The new lock will allow these vessels to safely pass through, even at low water levels.

Our input

Together with the contractor consortium OpenIJ, our skilled workers realised the concrete work. A job of enormous magnitude. Exposed to the elements of nature, they created a lock of 500 metres long, 70 metres wide and 18 metres deep. Consortium OpenIJ consisted of BAM-PGGM, DIF and VolkerWessels.

Projects we and our skilled workers are proud of

PROJECT

Rottemerentunnel (A16)

In the past few years, a lot of hard work has gone into creating an 11-kilometre stretch, setting the bar high for sustainability. To improve the quality of life and accessibility of the Rotterdam region, Rijkswaterstaat has built a new motorway along the northern parts of Rotterdam.

PROJECT

Railway station Ede-Wageningen

To serve the increasing number of passengers at the station, the municipality of Ede and NS-Stations commissioned Prorail to revamp the Ede-Wageningen section.

PROJECT

Dike reinforcement Doetinchem

Dikes are incredibly important to the Netherlands. Without them, the Netherlands would look very different. That is why it is very important to maintain these dikes.

PROJECT

Apeldoorn-Twello

Commissioned by Rijkswaterstaat, we widened the A1 together with our construction partner Heijmans. The A1 is an important economic link road in the Netherlands providing a direct connection to the European hinterland.

A promenade along the IJ in Amsterdam with a hidden bicycle park under water. Together with our construction partner Van Hattum en Blankevoort, we built a bicycle park for 4,000 bikes in the heart of our capital city.
