Vanderkamp: expert in innovative, temporary pumping solutions

Some 90% of the water levels in the Netherlands are regulated. This makes it extra important to be flexible and efficient in the event of emergencies. At Vanderkamp, we do this by using collected data to look ahead and quickly come up with a temporary, sustainable pumping solution.

Emergency plan based on data

Calamities can occur due to faulty pumps, as well as extreme weather conditions such as drought or heavy rainfall. To be well prepared, we at Vanderkamp can create a contingency plan based on collected data. An example of this is the project 'Eefde Lock'. In 2022, we delivered here the largest temporary water supply in the Netherlands due to persistent drought. Using data from existing pumping installations, geographic data and sonar data of the soil profile, we drew a 3D model of the lock. On behalf of Rijkswaterstaat, we then used the collected data to create an optimal emergency plan. This will allow us to react quickly and efficiently in the future in case of calamities.

Anticipation through digitization

By digitizing everything beforehand and logging all data during a project, we can anticipate specific questions from the customer. On the digital dashboard, the customer can see all the data. Maintaining the water level can be fully automated and through the data we can predict when extra, temporary pumping capacity is needed. Calculation, adjustment and monitoring can be done remotely by us.

Striving for sustainability

When choosing the type and number of pumps to deploy, we always strive for the most sustainable, circular solution possible. This means that we keep redeploying our pumps to other projects and that almost our entire fleet of temporary pump installations are electrically powered. We also make as much use as possible of existing electrical connection options on site. By steering smartly on the basis of collected data, pumps run only when necessary. Efficient and sustainable.
