Agrico is one of Russia’s largest agricultural organisations and
cultivates around 100,000 hectares of agricultural land in the
south of the country. The Republic of Dagestan is known for its
favourable agricultural climate. Agrico develops a total area of
more than 150 hectares.
We are assisting Agrico with the design of a greenfield
agricultural complex which includes three facilities; a meat
processing and canning complex, a fruit and vegetable storage
and canning facility, and a rice processing plant.
Royal HaskoningDHV is applying the best engineering and
management practices for this project. We have completed
conceptual designs on all three facilities and have carried
out selection and tendering for process equipment. Our
independent position means that we can select the most cost efficient
process equipment which adds value for Agrico.
Our international team is now working on the basic design for
the project. The design will include process engineering in line
with Russian Federation regulations and will take into account
local geophysical conditions such as seismic hazards.
The project is expected to enhance living standards across the
region bringing both employment and economic opportunities
to the Republic of Dagestan.
Flood control projects in Colombia have become a necessity
since the increase of disasters such as the La Niña floods in
2010 that killed over 174 people and left thousands homeless.
The most significant of these is the restructuring of the
120 km Canal del Dique, which connects the Magdalena River
with Cartagena, Colombia’s major Caribbean port, and provides
a vital national trade route.
The project was assigned to Royal HaskoningDHV by Fondo
Adaptación Colombia, the government body responsible for the
construction and restoration of infrastructure affected by the
2010 floods.
Working with Colombian engineering firm Gómez Cajiao and
Dutch knowledge institute Deltares, we are leading the studies
and re-design of the canal including restructuring of dykes, new
locks and marsh improvements.
The project will, for the first time in Colombia’s history, provide
a joint water resource and flood control solution. It will
protect both people and the environment while securing the
navigation route that is vital to the local economy.
On completion in 2017 the canal will vastly improve
sustainability in the region by providing a constant supply of
fresh water for domestic use, agriculture and fisheries.
In addition it will enhance natural processes, ecological
networks and biodiversity.
Innovative engineering design and planning is one of the ways
we can help ease the pressure on urban areas and improve
economic, social and environmental values.
The 30,000 m2 extension of Hvidovre Hospital in Copenhagen
is part of Denmark’s extensive programme to centralise its
hospitals. When the hospital completes in 2020 it will provide
the city with a new emergency ward, paediatric ward, obstetrics
and cardiology departments.
We are delivering structural design and building services
working as part of a wider design and architectural team.
The extension is being designed using future proof building
concepts which is where our knowledge plays a key role.
The main structure has four connected squares that will
make it easy to adapt the building according to changes
in growth and demand. Each square has its own spatial
variation, including green outdoor areas and has a
decentralised technical system like heating
and cooling which benefits patients
and staff.
Denmark’s strict building regulations call for daylight in all
rooms and spaces. The challenge is to meet regulations on one
hand and on the other hand control the internal climate during
the seasons in an energy efficient way. As a solution each
square has its own atrium which channels natural light and the
frontage is made mainly of glass designed to conserve energy.
To keep the interior cool in warmer months, vertical blinds
provide protection from the sun.
During the next two years we will prepare the detailed design.
We expect to hand over plans in 2016. Completion is expected
in 2020.
Royal HaskoningDHV is among others also involved in the
design of Denmark’s Aalborg University Hospital, and Honliv
Hospital in China.
Coastal flooding is a major issue for many seaside communities
in the United Kingdom. Our approach to managing this risk
was tested during surge events at Littlehaven on the North
East coast of England during December 2013 and proved to be
effective, whilst many other areas of the UK suffered extensive
coastal flooding.
Working with South Tyneside Council since 2009, we appraised
and designed a solution and through 2013 we supervised
the construction of the new sea wall and promenade for
the seaside resort of Littlehaven. The existing sea wall was
suffering from structural damage and foreshore lowering
caused by regular wave overtopping and frequent coastal
flooding.
The new sea wall has been constructed along an alignment
that is set back from the shore, landward of the old failing
defence. It is the first coastal defence scheme of this kind in the
UK, which deliberately sets back the alignment of a sea wall to
a more sustainable position for longer term effectiveness.
This unique design approach encourages development of a
natural beach in front of the sea wall while reducing the risk of
wave overtopping and land erosion.
Waste materials from demolition of the former wall were
re-used on site to raise the levels of the adjoining car park and
amenity areas to further reduce flood risk. The sea wall design
includes a wide promenade and a stepped terrace down to the
beach to provide greater access for beach users. In addition the
sea wall alignment has enhanced the scenic beauty of the area
by creating a sweeping bay shape.
The development of Taiwan’s Taoyuan region has initiated
a dynamic, €1.25 billion, expansion scheme at the country’s
international airport that will enable it to service the region’s
growing appetite for air travel.
Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport currently handles
30 million passengers a year. The region is growing into a
thriving industrial and residential hub, and passenger numbers
are expected to rise to 60 million by 2030.
We operate as General Consultant for the Terminal Three Area
project and provide Masterplanning services, in a joint venture
with T.Y. Lin International and Parsons Brinckerhoff.
This includes developing the baggage handling concept, air
traffic forecast, commercial planning, and masterplans for
aviation fuel and storm water drainage.
Our main challenge is to construct the new terminal site while
the airport functions as usual, taking care to minimise impact
on airport operations.
The project involves the design and construction of a third
terminal which connects to the airport’s Terminal 2. The area
in between will be used to develop a ground transportation
centre, car park and commercial real estate.
In addition the work comprises a taxiway relocation, road
system expansion and apron area creation. The terminals will
have stations served by the region’s light rail system.
Qatar’s capital city Doha is home to nearly two million people.
Doha’s population is rising along with the growing number of
tourists to the city, who come to attend some of the world’s
most popular sporting events.
Transport is a top priority and Qatar’s Greater Doha traffic
masterplan provides a solution for future transport needs.
Sharq Crossing, an ambitious bridge and tunnel system, is a
strategic element of this plan. The crossing will span Doha Bay,
linking the new Hamad International Airport and the capital’s
business and leisure districts. It is expected to solve the city’s
congestion issues when it is completed in 2020.
TEC, the permanent joint venture between Royal
HaskoningDHV and Witteveen+Bos, is validating the conceptual
tunnel design on behalf of Santiago Calatrava, architect of
the Sharq Crossing. The Sharq Crossing is one of the most iconic and prestigious bridge-tunnel connections we have been
commissioned to work on to date, and the first ever immersed
tunnel project in the Middle East region.
We are designing two immersed tunnels and three cut-and cover
tunnels that will connect the bridges to the mainland.
The assignment further includes design of bridge foundations,
roads, utilities, safety, mechanical, electrical and plumbing
systems, and planning.
The Drachtsterweg in the Dutch of Leeuwarden is being
transformed with a focus on sustainability. This vital route into
the city centre cuts right through a number of suburbs and
has become heavily congested. The new development will ease
traffic flows and improve Leeuwarden’s accessibility.
The transformation works include replacing a bridge with an
aquaduct, deepening the road lay and constructing several
overpass junctions. There will be an underpass for small boats
and bikes with an innovative nature-friendly bank and a fauna
passage. Native species of trees and plants will be used, a
high percentage of recycled materials and a solar island will
generate energy for the lights and pumps.
We prepared the design and construct tender, preliminary
design, contract preparation and delivered contract
management for the reconstruction. Our experts ensured that
sustainability criteria were specified at every stage of the entire
process and implemented in the contract.
We were also able to use our experience of BREEAM in other
areas. We advised on the implementation of BREEAM-NL
Infrastructure to measure sustainability levels objectively. This
system provides clear criteria for including sustainability in all
phases of infrastructural work. We used it to monitor the level
of sustainability and further improve the requirements. The
system also includes criteria for among others energy-efficient
equipment, air quality, the environmental impact of materials
and CO2 reduction.
The 870 km Trans Adriatic Pipeline will be playing a major role
in the European Union’s drive to secure future energy supply.
Starting near Kipoi on the Turkish Greek border, the pipeline
will transport natural gas from Azerbaijan across Greece,
Albania and Italy. The pipeline continues along the Adriatic
seabed to Southern Italy where gas could be distributed further
to Western Europe.
TAP AG will promote economic development and job creation
along the pipeline route. But before construction can start, TAP
must establish ‘right-of-way’ agreements with the thousands
of landowners and householders who live in Greece, Albania
and Italy. With each country having its own cultural heritage
and legislative system, this is an enormous and complex task.
We are working with TAP AG to conduct the Land Easement and
Acquisition (LEA) process in these transit countries. Our goal is
to ensure that access to land is secured so TAP can
start construction on schedule.
We also ensure people affected are compensated according
to international best practice standards such as the European
Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) performance
standards.
We are assisting TAP AG in conducting stakeholder
engagement, livelihood restoration planning, securing land
access agreements, securing ‘right-of-way’ contracts and
geo-data management. We have mobilised 200 employees to
conduct field activities, surveys and to reach agreements on
compensation with affected people. Once the LEA process is
concluded, we expect to have contacted between 30,000 to
50,000 people.
Tanjung Priok is Indonesia’s main port and is situated in
Jakarta Bay. It handles the majority of Indonesia’s exports and
imports and is a lifeline for the majority of the country’s many
thousands of islands.
The port has become severely congested due to the increase
in container traffic and lack of major port development over
decades and therefore it is now undergoing one of the largest
port extensions in the world.
We are supervising the construction of the first stage of
the development – the new North Kalibaru 4.5 million TEUs
Container Terminal. Once completed in 2018, the terminal will
become an international hub for seaborne trade and it will
strengthen Indonesia’s logistics chain.
Royal HaskoningDHV was commissioned by Indonesian Port
Corporation (IPC) to supervise the construction of the port,
including land reclamation, retaining walls, an access bridge,
the container yard and quay structures.
The port is being constructed on soft soils and an innovative
approach has been taken to secure foundations. The entire first
terminal and container yard is being constructed on a concrete
deck supported by foundation piles. Seawater and cooling
water intake will be protected from contamination (caused by
dredging) by using silt curtains and reusing dredged material
for landfill.
At the height of construction we have mobilised a team of
more than 40 engineering professionals with a wide range
of multidisciplinary skills on site to supervise works and
resolve any issues. One of the reasons we have been selected
to perform the supervision work, is because our teams have
the right set of skills, there is a very strong local presence in
Indonesia and we have the flexibility to mobilise people quickly,
as and when needed.
Contribution to society: sustainability incorporated in design through photo-voltaic roof panels, reusable water and an energy efficient mechanical & electrical system.
We brought: functionality, efficiency and expandability
Bottom line: one of first privatized projects, contribution to rapid economic boost of Brazil
This project was started as one of the first in Brazil where an airport has been privatized in hopes that the privatization will help remedy airport capacity problems.
By improving Viracopos Airport, passenger travel experiences will be improved and the airport facilities will be more capable of handling the capacity it is faced with.
This in turn will contribute to the rapid economic growth that is occurring in Brazil.
Partners in projects: Royal HaskoningDHV, Deerns, Kuiper Compagnons, NLR, Districon, InterVISTAS (phase 2)
A Brazilian consortium acquired the thirty year concession for Viracopos International Airport, the fastest growing airport in Brazil, located near São Paulo. Due to the airport’s location and the congestion at the other airports in the São Paulo region, within the concession period the airport is expected to become Brazil’s largest airport. NACO was contracted to develop the master plan and preliminary design of the new terminal building, which ultimately will be able to handle around 80 million passengers and 1.4 million tons of cargo .The scope of works for NACO also included, preliminary design for the multistory parking garage, airside and landside engineering and capital investment forecast.
This terminal design is driven by three keywords: functionality, efficiency and expandability.
The building needs to be completed within two years. The terminal building design needed to be simple, compact and easily constructible, while remaining expandable to cope with the forecast rapid traffic growth. These aspects are reflected in the shape, materialization and modular concept of the building. Besides cost efficiency, special attention was given to sustainability, reflected in amongst others photo-voltaic roof panels and an energy efficient MEP system.
The first phase of the new terminal facility at Viracopos International Airport will provide a state-of-the-art passenger handling facility for 14.5 million annual passengers (MAP). The developments that have been laid out in the master plan will be implemented in phases. The first phase terminal building will be ready in 2014 before the World cup soccer will take place.
Royal HaskoningDHV was commissioned by the Cameroonian government to create a master plan and development strategy for the Kribi Industrial Port Complex, to guide a sustainable spatial, social and economic development. The development starts with the production and export of minerals, energy and petrochemicals. The development of medium and light industry is to bring more jobs and added value. Construction of the Kribi Industrial Port Complex, a 260km2 industrial and residential city is underway near Kribi, a coastal town in south western Cameroon. The project will provide a deep sea port, an extensive industrial zone for heavy, medium and light industry and a modern residential city to house up to 300,000 people by 2040.
Royal HaskoningDHV consultants and engineers worked with Cameroonian consultancy partner Global Option, to carry out studies which included the spatial master plan, zoning plan and management strategy. These were presented at a congress in April 2012 in Yaoundé to the main stakeholders at national and international level.
With several major companies and investors declaring an interest, the project is seen as a key step in creating wealth and sustainability in Cameroon. Regional investment will also be used to develop tourism and preserve marine and terrestrial nature.
Royal HaskoningDHV’s involvement in the project brings with it a proven track record of expertise in master planning, management strategies, sustainability and innovation. This not only meets the economic demands of the Cameroonian government but also offers advanced sustainable solutions on both environmental and social levels.
Project features:
The deep sea port phase 1 is currently under construction and is planned to be ready in 2014.
Development and construction of a combined infrastructure to the north - known as the ‘backbone’ - which will feed future development.
Construction of 9500 ha industrial zone, business activities and airport development.
Development and construction of the residential city including governmental buildings, schools, a hospital, shopping centers and urban services.

Contribution to society: expand use of existing real estate in crowded city. Winner of public NL Bouwprijs
We brought: innovation and technical excellence, light weight construction on top of 1940 monumental building
Bottom line: growing business in sustainable building development – our 4th such project plus other “greening of facility” assignments.
The Karel Doorman is an attractive, affordable, apartment building that is built downtown Rotterdam on top of a former department store.
Designed around 1940 and regarded as ‘young monument‘. Challenge to design a structural design for a new building without affecting the existing building.
Concept was combination of 2 ways: getting the most out of the old structural design and making the new apartments as light as possible.
Awarded the ‘NL Bouwprijs’ by the public. Nominated for‘De Vernufteling’
We have found good business in helping clients with existing buildings – creating a new purpose or upgrading to today’s standards. RHDHV have just completed renovation of the provincial government office of North Holland – signigicantly enhancing its sustainability – workers are delighted, plus less energy use, less CO2 emission. (from energy label F to AA)
Contribution to society: providing high standard livable area on island for residential and commercial purposes.
We brought: flexible design approach to be adjusted over time to actual developments.
Bottom line: initial investment costs reduced, providing future sustainable living area
Contract Value of the project: EUR 350,000
The private developer of Pluit City Land Development would like to create a high standard livable area on an island for residential and commercial purposes.
Jakarta is experiencing the effects of climate change, but an even more important factor to take into account for the design is the land subsidence of 5-15cm per year.
Also many other large developments are ongoing in Jakarta Bay with among others the ambitious Masterplan study to protect Jakarta against flooding by the ocean with a ‘Giant Sea Wall’.
Since so many factors have a potential impact on the 50 years design life time of the land reclamation, the client adopted a ‘flexible design approach’.
This innovative idea for Indonesia means that all no-regret measures have already been taken into account and will be constructed, but some measures will be implemented in a later phase depending on the actual developments. In this way initial investment costs are reduced, while still providing a sustainable living environment for the future.

MVV Environment Devonport Ltd ( mvv.environment.co.uk) is in the process of building an energy from waste and CHP (Combined Heat and Power) facility at the Devonport Royal Dockyard in Plymouth, UK. When it completes in 2014, the energy from waste plant will incinerate 245,000 tonnes per annum of municipal solid waste, export up to 22.5MW electricity and up to 23.5MW heat. As well as benefitting the environment and community by reducing waste to landfill and generating renewable energy, the plant will also generate jobs for the local community.
As leading experts in energy from waste, Royal HaskoningDHV was appointed to design the plant’s mechanical building services. The design incorporates low energy systems to reduce carbon emissions.
Challenges
Natural ventilation was used to control temperatures within the process areas. This led to some challenges given the heat output of process equipment, particularly in the boiler and turbine halls. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling was used to optimise the design of the louvre system to ensure adequate ventilation. The boiler support frame is also used as a structural frame, giving minimal clearance from boiler plant for attenuated louvres and control dampers. Careful coordination with the boiler manufacturer was required to ensure the ventilation strategy could be implemented.
Outcome
Heating and cooling of the administration block is achieved by an air source heat pump system. This also provides domestic hot water for workers' showers. To keep the switchgear cool, high efficiency chillers with free cooling mode were selected. With a residential housing estate in close proximity, noise is an issue. Much of the plant is located inside the building with all louvres and air intakes/exhaust points having high levels of attenuation. Attention to detail has ensured all acoustic parameters were complied with.

Contribution to society: bridge’s life time expanded with 30 years at minimal financial costs, social impacts and environmental burden We brought: application of high strength concrete on steel decks, innovative management contract (including incentive fees for the consultant)Bottom line: innovative contract, considerable cost savings for client.
Eight significant steel bridges linking major roads in the Dutch highway system are suffering early fatigue in the orthotropic decks and require renovation. Higher traffic volumes and heavier vehicles than had been anticipated have taken their toll on the steel deck space and also risk impairing the main bridge structure.
Any repairs involving the public highways bring potential congestion for all the users of the road network. Innovative solutions are needed which minimise disruption and also prolong the lifespan of the bridges to avoid further repairs and consequent disruption, while also offering the best possible value for public money.
Rijkswaterstaat (RWS), the agent of the Dutch Government responsible for managing bridges, roads and waterways, has appointed Royal HaskoningDHV, Arup and Greisch to deliver the project under a Management Contract. The contract is designed to synchronise the goals of the parties and includes an incentive fee structure.
The fee structure and manner of cooperation with the RWS through a management contract are both innovations in public procurement. The primary goal for client and consultant is to solve the bridge problems at the lowest cost and with a minimum of traffic disruption. Other goals relate to safety and customer satisfaction.
Royal HaskoningDHV, together with Arup and Greisch, form consortium, responsible for project and contract management, procurement, construction supervision and stakeholder management. The issue of stakeholders is particularly important due to the number of interest groups associated with each bridge - including ministries, municipalities, provinces, the business community, public transport and the public.
Royal HaskoningDHV has a record of applying innovative, sustainable solutions to infrastructure development as well as appreciating the added value of these projects for society as a whole. A pioneering engineering approach is being used in the renovation which involves the application of high strength concrete on steel decks. This will increase the lifetime of each bridge by 30 years at minimal financial cost, while decreasing negative social impacts through avoiding lengthy traffic delays. The approach prevents extensive steel production and, in reducing the environmental burden, provides a solution which is sustainable as well as economical and practical.

Construction of sewerage and a 10,000 m3/day wastewater treatment plant for the city centre is underway in Phan Rang Thap Cham city, the administrative capital of Vietnam’s Ninh Thuan province. The project will bring much needed sanitation to the city, dramatically improving the lives of 125,000 people who live there.
Phan Rang Thap Cham is the new economic and administrative capital of Ninh Thuan province in Vietnam. With a population of around 170,000 people, it is one of Vietnam’s poorest - and driest regions. With the absence of a sewerage and wastewater treatment system, direct discharge of wastewater into city and surrounds is causing serious pollution of ground and surface water. Approval of a wastewater collection, treatment and reuse scheme was granted in 2011 and construction of sewerage and a 10.000 m3/day waste water treatment plant for the city centre is currently underway (2013).
Royal HaskoningDHV was involved at the start of the project, initiating and helping to securing *ORIO funding for the project to the Vietnamese Government by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The water technology team has completed technical and socio-economic surveys Environmental Impact Assessment, basic and detailed designs, financing plans and a capacity building program. As a Dutch consultancy based in Vietnam, Royal HaskoningDHV was well positioned to liaise between the Dutch and Vietnamese counterparts in the application process and project delivery, and balance the interests of both governments.
Royal HaskoningDHV’s involvement in the project brings proven, robust technology to Vietnam, enabling local project owners to operate wastewater treatment plants with a high level of durability and stability. We have improved the sustainability of the project by reusing the treated effluent for agricultural irrigation in an area where drought is a major problem during nine months of the year. The scheme will dramatically improve the lives of around 125,000 people living in the city through better sanitation. Treated wastewater will be reused to provide 10,000 m3 water per day to irrigate surrounding agricultural areas. This will improve the quality of the region’s lakes and rivers and lead to better environmental protection of surface and ground water. The scheme is also expected to increase economic and tourism potential, leading to foreign and national investment.
Features of the project include:
Immediate construction of sewerage and a 5.000 m3/day waste water treatment plant for the city centre (currently under implementation with local Government sources (2013). A wastewater collection network, a treatment plant for a capacity of 10.000 m3.day and re-use of treated wastewater. Expansion and improvement of the storm water drainage system to prevent flooding in the city areas during the raining season. House connections for 125,000 people and 300 SMEs in the critical environmental problem areas of the city.
12,5 km of interceptors and combined sewer overflows to separate wastewater from rain water and convey the wastewater to pumping stations.
10 pumping stations and about 9.0 km of pressure sewers to convey the wastewater to a treatment plant.
10,000 m3 wastewater treatment plant.
Pumping station to pump the treated wastewater to an irrigation system during the dry season.

tidal technologies. The construction of a new marine renewables services base for tugs, marine supply boats and maintenance vessels on behalf of Orkney Islands Council, will support the offshore renewable energy facilities.
Standing between the Atlantic and the North Sea, with fast flowing currents channelled between the outcrops of land, Orkney is home to some of the most energy-rich waters in Europe. Orkney is playing a leading role in the evolution of wave and tidal technologies. A new Marine Renewables Services Base for tugs, marine supply boats and maintenance vessels on behalf of Orkney Islands Council is required to support the offshore renewable energy facilities.
BAM Nuttall appointed Royal HaskoningDHV to undertake the detailed structural design and to prepare construction drawings for the new pier and approach structure. The new pier is a suspended deck structure with steel piles driven and anchored into bedrock.
Orkney Islands Council required wave screens to be fitted to the pier faces to provide a solid barrier to approaching waves.
The pier is designed in accordance with Eurocodes supplemented by UK nationally determined parameters to accommodate berthing from 3,000 tonne General Cargo Vessels and 500 tonne "Multicat" type vessels. BAM Nuttall appointed Royal HaskoningDHV because of the company's expertise in marine facility design.
BAM Nuttall and Royal HaskoningDHV has a good track record of collaboration on successful Design and Construct projects with both parties working closely together to provide cost effective solutions to maritime projects.
The project is expected to be completed on site in early 2014.
“BAM Nuttall’s Scottish business unit has enjoyed a constructive relationship with the Royal HaskoningDHV team throughout the development of this scheme design. The companies’ longstanding association on maritime projects ensured that their collective expertise has brought significant benefits to the engineering solution and we look forward to future opportunities to work together”.
A footbridge across the dangerous Senqu river provides a safe crossing and a sustainable future for the 2,000 inhabitants of Ha Mofutho in the Kingdom of Lesotho.
Engineering a lifeline across a dangerous river, Kingdom of LesothoThe local community at Ha Mofutho near Quasha’s Nek, had to cross the Senqu River to access the markets for their produce and to find employment. Villagers used small boats or even waded through the river to do this during low flow, but access during the rainy season was dangerous due to fast flowing and high water levels. Royal HaskoningDHV (formerly SSI) was appointed to plan a footbridge to create a sustainable future for approximately 2,000 people. Special attention was paid to job creation and the development of the local construction industry. In preparation for the project various workshops were conducted to transfer knowledge and skills to the local indigenous contractors, to ensure that they benefited in every way possible, and to the engineers from the Roads Directorate. Royal HaskoningDHV carried out engineering investigations, detailed design and the preparation of detailed drawings and tender documents for the bridge.
