englishBusy times for Dutch dredger Van Oord in its domestic market
friday 12 Mar 2010
Dutch dredging and marine contractor Van Oord says 2009 was "an extremely busy one" in its Netherlands region (which also includes Belgium).
Said Van Oord: "Construction of Maasvlakte 2, a new area of the Port of Rotterdam, will further boost the port’s continued development. Van Oord has a 50 per cent stake in PUMA, the consortium carrying out the project. The work is progressing according to schedule."
At the same time, Van Oord deployed a large number of trailing suction hopper dredgers on various coastal defence projects that formed part of the Netherlands ·Weak Links· coastal defence programme, including the Hondsbossche and Pettemer seawalls, the coast at Scheveningen, Delfland, Nolle West Dunes and between Nieuwvliet and Groede.
Sand replenishment operations were carried out at Voorne and Texel as part of a regular maintenance programme.
Van Oord also helped reinforce the foreshores of a number of dikes along the Oosterscheldt and Westerscheldt in the Zeeland delta.
