Construction motorway, A4 Delft-Schiedam

Boskalis Nederland was involved in the construction of the A4 motorway from Delft to Schiedam. The client is Rijkswaterstaat. After 40 years, the construction of this final section will bring to an end the public debate about whether this new road was needed.

The A4ALL consortium submitted the best-priced tender for the design and the construction of the new motorway. The consortium developed smart design solutions that took the wishes of local residents into account.  Boskalis was involved in the integral work with its partners in the A4ALL consortium, and also executed some of the concrete engineering structures and servicing work. On this assignment, the consortium complied with the Boskalis safety program, NINA. The Integral Development between Delft and Schiedam is an area-based program. At the same time as the A4 Delft-Schiedam was being built, investments have also been made in upgrading the Midden-Delfland area and the urban area between Schiedam and Vlaardingen. As well as additional nature, a range of leisure facilities will also be established.

Construction of
Marker Wadden

Boskalis has been awarded the first phase of the Marker Wadden development in the Netherlands. The project includes the construction of an island with underwater landscaping. The Marker Wadden are natural islands that will be developed in the Markermeer lake in the years to come. They will provide a major boost for the ecological quality of the Markermeer lake. The natural shores of the islands will give fish more opportunities to spawn and feed. As a result, large numbers of birds such as terns and waders will return to the area because there will be more food for them. The construction of the Marker Wadden will transform the map of the Netherlands.

Outer harbor channel widening, Adelaide.

The Port of Adelaide is the primary port in South Australia, located at Outer Harbor. The port is operated by Flinders Ports Pty Ltd (Flinders Ports) and handles both container and cruise vessels, contributing significantly to the State’s economic activity. Flinders Ports identified the need for an upgrade of the existing infrastructure driven by the emergence of Post Panamax class vessels. To meet this growth the existing channel had to be widened to accommodate vessels with a maximum width of 49 m without operational restrictions. Flinders Ports contracted Boskalis to execute the dredging works.
