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.
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.
Regal introduction
This spring, the latest generation of the Range Rover Sport was introduced: a beautifully lined hybrid bolide. The official presentation for the entire Benelux was done with allure, a happening that took place in Belgium at an estate near Grimbergen, just a stone’s throw from Brussels.
Bridge over the Zaan
Just above Zaandam is the Zaan Bridge that connects Wormer and Wormerveer. This striking blue drawbridge is in need of replacement. A complex operation, since the Zaan is quite wide here and busy shipping traffic should be affected as little as possible. Therefore, before the old bridge is demolished, a temporary drawbridge will be built. A unique construction by Janson Bridging BV, part of the Van Schie Group.
City crane rises from ashes
For centuries, a city crane stood on the Oudegracht near the Winkel van Sinkel. More precisely, from 1402 to 1837. This hoist – constructed entirely of wood – was used to unload goods from ships in the shipyard or hoist them up to the street. Cargo usually consisted of crates, man-sized wine barrels, Cologne pots and pottery.
Seepage screen in the forest
With seepage water one does not immediately think of leafy forests in Brabant, but rather of wet Dutch polders where the water seeps under dikes and bubbles up along the meadows. In Ulvenhout – near Breda – they really think differently.
‘Beautiful Marlene’
Rarely seen such an elegant windmill – sorry – wind turbine. So the producer named her after a famous beautiful lady: Marlene Dietrich.
‘Cutting and shaving’
In polder Rijnvliet near Utrecht, a number of high-voltage pylons were recently removed in order to build an underground (heavier) network on the same route. This transition was necessary to meet the increasing demand for energy. Van Schie was allowed to dismantle the steel structures, cut them into pieces and then dispose of them.
Luminous art in Ghent
Belgium’s Ghent – the city of art, culture and festivals – once again hosted its annual “Festival of Lights” last winter. It was the fifth edition of this highly regarded event.
Working on the Amstel
Van Schie has designed a pontoon specifically for infrastructure work on and near the water: the VSP770 pontoon. A unique modular system developed in-house. A pontoon with many possibilities and great buoyancy.
Protection for the Great Bear
Along the Grote Beer, a busy traffic artery in Veenendaal, Van Schie replaced an old wooden screen with a contemporary 2-meter-high sound barrier built on an earthen embankment.
