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.
One with nature
It is impossible to imagine our streets without noise barriers. Roads are being built everywhere, there are houses and people live everywhere. Even in Ede in the Veluwe, where a new ring road had to be built right through the woods. Then it is nice that there are ‘green’ noise barriers that fit seamlessly into a natural environment.
Clean City
While everywhere in our country hundreds of garbage trucks drive through the streets, in the municipality of Amsterdam they are taking a totally different approach to the disposal of household waste. Not by road, but underground. The system being built for this can best be compared to tube mail. Van Schie was allowed to make an important contribution to the infrastructure of this innovative project.
The train disaster
The train disaster near Voorschoten – earlier this year – is no doubt still fresh in many people’s minds. On Tuesday, April 4, around 3:30 a.m., an Intercity and a freight train collided with a construction crane, with fateful consequences. The driver of the construction crane died; thirty other people were seriously injured. Both trains derailed, and the massive impact sent two of the four railcars crashing into a meadow.
Nice job at the PLUS
Distribution centers of our national supermarket chains have been popping up like mushrooms in recent years. A consequence of “just-in-time-delivery,” a system in which the stores no longer maintain their own stock but receive the goods from a central point – a so-called DC.
Zwaanskuikenbrug
Many bridges in the Netherlands are currently undergoing renovation, including the Zwaanskuikenbrug at Hei- en Boeicop. This swing bridge over the Merwede Canal will be equipped with a new road surface, new controls, new cabling, and will be freshly repainted. As a temporary solution for cyclists and pedestrians, Van Schie has constructed a modern VSP pontoon bridge here. Ambulances are also allowed to use it. Other vehicular traffic must take a detour.
‘White snake’
Like an exotic snake, this double gas pipeline winds its way through the Amsterdamse Bos, ready to go underground. This happens through so-called ‘horizontal directional drilling’.
Energy transition
Everyone is working on the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, with the aim of creating a cleaner world. The number of electric cars is rapidly increasing, and charging stations are sprouting up like mushrooms.
A playground for steel partitions
On the outskirts of Sloterdijk, lies the playground ‘De Brettenburg.’ It is a large area that needed to be expanded with sand dunes and alternative play equipment.
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.
