Infrastructure

Population growth is putting pressure on urban areas. Land reclamation has become an effective solution to create additional space in coastal areas where space is particularly limited. Boskalis provides a range of infrastructure solutions from land reclamation and remediation of contaminated soil, to the construction of inland ports and waterways, roads and railways, tunnels and bridges. We are also a leading player in coastal protection, which is growing in importance as a result of climate change, sea-level rise and more extreme weather events.

Tunnel construction Warnow, Rostock

The Warnow Tunnel is located in Rostock, Germany, at the old mouth of the river Warnow in the Baltic Sea. In the DDR period this area grew out to be the main harbor of East-Germany. After the 'turn' (die Wende) in 1989 the port more or less died. Goods came cheaper and quicker from Rotterdam, Bremen and Hamburg by rail.

Land reclamation Check Lap Kok airport Hong Kong

In 1996 Hong Kong was a modern city-state with almost 6 million inhabitants where air traffic was a very important component for economic activity. The old airport Kai Tak, with a single runway, was no longer able to cope with the growing number of passengers and amount of freight.  The authorities decided to build a new, bigger airport at a new location in Hong Kong, a 350 hectares hilly island off the coast about 28 km west of the city center.
