Environmental Work Protocol

An environmental protocol is in effect during the construction work. This ensures coordination between ecologists from the water authority the contractor, and we are taking a number of measures to minimize the impact on the natural environment.

We respect nature 

Overview of measures: 

  • Earthworks are carried out outside the breeding season. This also applies to work that generates a lot of noise, such as installing sheet piling. 

  • The sheet piling of the weirs positioned in such a way that animals cannot enter the construction pit. 

  • The construction pit has been drained under ecological supervision; fish and other aquatic animals have been removed. 

  • A fence has been installed along Hooiweg. This prevents otters and other animals from crossing Hooiweg while construction is underway. 

  • The supply and removal of soil and materials takes place on existing roads and paths, and also on road plates. 

  • Measures are in place to prevent pollution.
