Projects
You can say so much…
But actions speak louder than words… That’s why we would like to show you what we are capable of. And, let’s not beat around the bush, that’s no small feat. We’re more than happy to showcase examples from each of our areas of expertise, giving you a glimpse into the projects we have taken on together with our clients.
The Lamme Bridge lays waste
The Lamme (Lame) Bridge. The name alone suggests that this bridge is not long-lived. And that’s right: the steel swing bridge, the main access bridge to the center of Leiden, dates from 1960 and is at the end of its useful life. Therefore, it is now being replaced by a wider and higher fixed bridge.
Grondbank Mijdrecht
Grondbank Mijdrecht is the official name of Van Schie’s soil bank. We take in green waste, rubble, dredging, clean and contaminated soil that companies want to get rid of.
Double celebration in Assen
This year it was exactly 100 years since the first TT race was run on the roads of Drenthe. Moreover, it was the 50th anniversary of the TT Festival! Every reason to celebrate this big and to give the decibels all the room they needed, not only on the circuit but also at the Kop van de Vaart.
Sound barrier for Dokkum
In Dokkum, the northernmost city in the Netherlands, Van Schie has installed a beautiful sound barrier. It stands along the Rondweg-Noord road. The screen is 440 meters long and 2.5 to 3 meters high.
Rest around the depot
The large streetcar depot of the Haagsche Tramweg Maatschappij (HTM) near Scheveningen has been completely rebuilt and renovated. The entire complex has been made suitable for the different types of streetcars that HTM has running and also for the new streetcars coming in in 2026.
Bridge over bridge
The municipality of Rotterdam has found a fantastic place to build 525 homes, on the edge of the Zuiderpark, a stone’s throw from Ahoy. Living in green surroundings, with all urban conveniences within easy reach. Who wouldn’t want that? However, there was one problem: this so-called Carnisse Eiland is surrounded by ditches and ponds and can only be reached by a few authentic bridges, including the concrete bicycle bridge in the Carnissepad.
Work floor in ‘Hofvijver’ (Court Pond) completed
In our earlier Journal, we reported extensively on Van Schie’s activities in the Hofvijver. For example, we constructed a veritable “sand bank” along the facades of the Senate and the Trêveszaal up to the turret, surrounded by a steel sheet pile construction: 80 meters long and 15 meters wide.
Swimming across the IJsselmeer
Van Schie regularly sponsors charities, including the event Swim4Brains, an organization that raises money for the Brain Foundation. Fifty practiced men and women swam together across the IJsselmeer from Stavoren to Medemblik, a distance of 22 kilometers. A trip that can take 8 to 10 hours.
Wind in the sails
Sail Amsterdam is the largest maritime event in the world, with 2.5 million visitors this year. Every five years since 1975, tall ships, “windjammers,” schooners, clippers and barges from all over the world come to our capital to moor around the IJ River after an entry across the North Sea Canal.
Salvaging a plane wreck
On the morning of January 30, 1944, a German fighter plane was shot down near the village of Veessen (Gld) with only the pilot on board. The plane was a Messerschmitt BF-109, a type that was normally supposed to attack American bombers, but on this day had a different task and was now attacked itself, with disastrous consequences.
Grondige uitbreiding
De Internationale Nederlanden Groep – kortweg ING – is met haar hoofdkantoor al ruim dertig jaar geworteld in Amsterdam. Aanvankelijk in Zuidoost, daarna verhuisde men naar de Zuidas, om vervolgens weer terug te keren naar Zuidoost. Daar staat aan de Bijlmerdreef inmiddels een heel complex van ING-kantoren, dat nu wordt uitgebreid met een splinternieuw hoofdkantoor. Een toekomstbestendig gebouw, dat voldoet aan alle mogelijke duurzaamheidseisen.
Rimpelloos door de Randstad
Een 72 meter lange fietsbrug, gebouwd in Krimpen aan den IJssel, moest worden afgeleverd bij het Cruquius gemaal in de Haarlemmermeer. Een opdracht waar heel wat gepuzzel bij komt kijken. Want hoe vervoer je zoiets? Over de weg? Dwars door de Randstad met al z’n obstakels? Of liever over het water? Het werd een transport over de binnenwateren: een 50 kilometer lange reis via de zogenaamde ‘Staande Mastroute’.
