4. ECT Terminal
phase 2
(Port of Rotterdam
/ Hutchison
Wampoa)
Imagine
A new container terminal for
Euromax Terminal due to
increase of container volume.
The result
More capacity for ECT
containergiant by building a
ultramodern terminal

supervision.

5. Architecture
Imagine
Landmarks,
structures that fits in the
landscape
ARCADIS
Own architects and landscape
designers

6. Dike
improvements
Imagine
All mayor dike improvements are
prepared by ARACDIS
Assessment of primary flood
defences in the Netherlands
3500 km.
Some project examples are:
Enkhuizen-Hoorn (20 km)
Hondsbosche en Pettermerzee
wering (6 km)
Amerongen-Schoonhoven
(50 km)
Schoonhoven-Lekkerkerk
(10 km)
The result
Design

7. Maeslant storm surge barrier
(Rotterdam, The Netherlands)
Imagine
Financial control of the maintenance of this
barrier.
The result
We do the control of the financial contracts on
behalf of the Dutch Department of Public Works.
ARCADIS

11. Reliability
Reliability is a key issue;
• Use proven concepts
• Operating mechanism above water
• Fail save design
• Simple movement (horizontal or vertical only)
• Easy accessible for maintenance
• Operations is vital
How to keep a structure reliable
• Maintenance driven design
• Risk based management
• Learning and cooperating with other
sufficient budget
