Synthetic geotextiles are often used for temporary construction roads, even though their lifespan is much longer than necessary. That is why the Joosten Group is researching Jogetex HV, a biobased and biodegradable alternative made from wood fibers. In this episode, Marco Hazenkamp and Sophie Pakvis discuss the development of the geotextile, the technical requirements, the rate of degradation, and […]
On infrastructure projects, the work environment is often dynamic and space-constrained. Contractors work in inner-city areas, along roads, and in existing residential neighborhoods, where tasks change rapidly. These tasks include digging trenches, backfilling, moving materials, installing manholes, and preparing pavement, often all within a single work phase.
The Neder-Betuwe dike reinforcement project is a large-scale water safety initiative along the north side of the Waal River, from Tiel to Wely. This 20.2-kilometer stretch is sandwiched between previous dike reinforcement projects—such as Tiel-Waardenburg, Stad Tiel, and Wolferen-Sprok—which have already been successfully reinforced with steel sheet piles in recent years. Steel once again plays a key role in the current project: nearly 11 kilometers of the dike will be reinforced with sheet piles, spread across multiple dike sections and carried out in three phases over a period of five years.
