𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐟𝐬𝐥𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐝𝐢𝐣𝐤 💪 It's quite a sight: no less than 6 crane vessels from Paans Van Oord bv at work on the Afsluitdijk. In various locations, sections of the seabed are being excavated and transported by our vessels to be reused elsewhere along the Afsluitdijk. A nice example of circularity. ♻️ Additionally, we are installing fascine mattresses at various points to protect the seabed. This is being done near the new discharge sluices at Den Oever, as well as at the Fish Migration River, where migratory fish swim from the Wadden Sea into the IJsselmeer. The fascine mattresses, made of geotextile topped with braided willow branches, protect the seabed from erosion when discharging large volumes of water. The placement of these mattresses involves precise positioning of quarry stone. Craftsmanship at its finest! 👏 The Levvel-consortium (BAM, Van Oord, Rebel, and Invesis) is working with various expertises on behalf of Rijkswaterstaat to strengthen the Afsluitdijk and construct one of the largest pumping stations in Europe. Curious about how Paans Van Oord is contributing to the reinforcement of the Afsluitdijk?

fascine mattresses is an innovative technique employed in 𝐀𝐟𝐬𝐥𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐝𝐢𝐣𝐤 but same techniques have been employed world over e.g. India where geotextile topped with braided bamboo sticks used for erosion control in the construction of causeways. However there is no match for the compatible equipment and machinery deployed by Van Oord.

Lekker die olieverontreiniging die VOX Maxima heeft veroorzaakt door tegenaan bunker barge te varen. Niet alleen Sentosa maar hele kustlijn vol met dikke zware zwarte bagger. Kan het thuis ruiken. Hoop kapitein + stuurman > 10 yaar in Changi hotel en $10B boete voor Van Oord
