Platform on civil engineering, underground infrastructure, energy, construction equipment & construction machinery
Van Dijk Maasland has developed into a multidisciplinary contractor operating in infra, construction, environmental and green space. “But the core is in foundations,” says director Frans van Dijk. “We are still doing what we started in the 1970s: coming up with innovative solutions for building and living on soft soil.”
What do Stone Age hunters, badgers, the boxelder bat and the highway on the narrowest stretch of the Netherlands have in common? They all come together on the A2 between the junctions Het Vonderen and Kerensheide. On this 18-kilometer stretch, Rijkswaterstaat is working on structural widening. There will be an extra lane and a full-fledged emergency lane in both directions. The intervention is necessary to improve traffic flow, accessibility and road safety on one of the busiest highways in Limburg. Environmental manager Eric Eussen brings us up to date.
In the Netherlands, anyone who says barrier boxes, vehicle restraint gates and innovative traffic solutions quickly comes up with the name of Martin Nanninga. As founder and director of VEVACADO International, he is building international successes with a small but flexible consortium. But behind that businesslike facade also lies a clear vision of how the Dutch infrastructure world is developing - and where he believes there is room for improvement.
