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.
Piece of cake
On a cold winter morning at a large nursery in the Betuwe, a 35-ton gas generator and a transformer station had to be hoisted into the company’s yard.
All hands on deck
Every year, boat owners eagerly await the start of the boating season on April 1st. From that date, most bridges and locks are open again at regular times for recreational boating.
Bruges by the sea
Every summer, residents of Bruges, tourists, and visitors to this beautiful city can enjoy free swimming in an outdoor area located in the old town. For several years now, Van Schie has been creating a sort of ‘beach pool’ on pontoons in the heart of the city.
Unfortunate event
In the middle of the fields, a worker from a competing company accidentally drove his excavator off the embankment and into the ditch. This happened on a narrow path. With the help of a Van Schie crane, they lifted the machine out of the water and put it back on solid ground.
System Bridge
An excellent pontoon bridge, assembled using VSP pontoons. It’s a modular system that can be expanded both in length and width, complete with railings and access ramps.
Heavyweight
Having all the disciplines in-house is incredibly useful. This Broshuis low-loader combination from Van Schie, seen here at the yard, transports our heaviest machinery to construction sites all over the Netherlands.
There’s no limit to Padel
Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, combining elements of tennis and squash. However, the sport also causes a lot of disturbances.
Light art on the water
The Amsterdam Light Festival is a seven-week-long event that took place for the eleventh time last winter. It features a boat and walking route along twenty unique light art installations against the backdrop of our beautiful canals. In the world of light sculptures, this festival is unique as it entirely takes place on and along the water.
Soil remediation in Teylers Hofje
It is one of the most romantic spots in Haarlem: the Teylers Hofje, located at the edge of the center, along the Spaarne. Currently there are still twenty such hofjes in Haarlem, once founded for the benefit of the poor or for beguines of the church.
Weighty job
Lifting, pushing, lifting, but mostly rolling. Using this combination of techniques, a heavy-duty concrete weighbridge was installed inside a building where waste containers must be weighed.
Pontoons among greenery
The organizers of the Floriade Expo – the world horticultural exhibition in Almere – have also experienced how important pontoons can be on the border of land and water. And also how Van Schie has an innovative solution for every location and situation, based on years of experience at large event venues.
Drilling with casing
More and more buildings are getting their energy from geothermal energy, as an alternative to wind and solar power. As a rule, this is water pumped from the depths of our earth. The heat in that water can then be used for heating or generating electricity. It is a sustainable heat source that does not rely on solar or wind. And always available.
