Boskalis awarded EUR 75 million worth of infrastructure projects in
the Netherlands
Papendrecht, 7 December 2020
Boskalis has been awarded two infrastructure projects in the
Netherlands with a total contract value of approximately EUR 75
million.
Boskalis will construct a new inland harbor in Spijk in the
Netherlands on behalf of Rijkswaterstaat. The harbor is located on
the river Waal close to the German border. The harbor is intended
for inland vessels and will increase the capacity, safety and
accessibility. For this project approximately three million cubic
meters of soil will be moved by means of a small cutter suction
dredger and other earthmoving equipment. Work will commence early
2021 with a lead time of approximately 2.5 years. Boskalis expects
to reduce its CO2 emissions by more than 50% on this project by
using a sustainable biofuel.
Boskalis will furthermore redesign the N241 provincial road in
the North of the Netherlands. This contract was awarded by the
Province of Noord-Holland and PWN and includes the widening of the
road and additional road safety related improvements. The structure
of this project includes a planning development phase and a
realization phase with an expected completion date late 2024.
