Ecological working protocol

An ecological work protocol applies during the work. This ensures coordination between ecologists from the water board and the contractor, and we take a number of measures to protect nature.

We take nature into account 

Overview of measures: 

  • Groundwork is 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 is positioned in such a way that animals cannot enter the construction pit. 

  • The construction site has been pumped dry under ecological supervision; fish and other aquatic animals have been captured. 

  • A fence has been erected along Hooiweg. This prevents otters and other animals from crossing Hooiweg during the work. 

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

  • Measures are in place to prevent pollution.
