Working in limited space

Land, demolition and soil remediation

Dijkboom BV is a specialist in combined ground, demolition and soil remediation work within confined spaces and inner city areas. The work to be carried out in Rotterdam's Oude Noorden neighborhood was therefore right up Dijkboom BV's alley.

Rotterdam's Oude Noorden neighborhood dates from the beginning of the last century. The neighborhood suffers from foundation damage. Therefore, the renovation of the building envelope is combined with foundation repair. Johan Eikelenboom: "For this project, we are subcontractor to Brefu Funderingstechnieken, which is doing the complete foundation repair for Jurriens. We carry out the complete demolition of the concrete floors for Brefu Funderingstechnieken, as well as the excavation for the foundation construction under remediation conditions and the cutting and excavation of the wall recesses and recesses. The released excess soil is highly contaminated and will be cleaned by Boskalis Environmental for reuse."

For work in smaller areas, Dijkboom BV has modern and specialized equipment. "Our specialist employees think along daily about the right way to realize the project for people and the environment within a limited working area. Working on a project like this always remains a challenge, especially in terms of logistics. Space is limited both inside and outside, so communication is very important. The cooperation with Brefu and Jurriens is pleasant, which allows us to bring even a complex project to a successful conclusion together."
