Renewal flood defense Kampen

The flood defenses in Kampen are renewed. After 17 years the maintenance of the valve seals are raising to be too expensive. The valve seals are hidden in the road of the Ijsselkade. On an daily base there are hundreds, on busy days even thousands of cars cross the road. Because of the vibrations from the usage of the road the valve seals suffer a lot. With the consequence of releasing strips and clattering retaining walls.

Hein Heun Sloopwerken B.V. received the assignment to remove the upper raised edge of the valve seals. First at the Van Heutszplein and the Statsburg and later on at the Oorgat. After carefully and professional sawing work with specialistic materials, the edges are shifted away. After the removal there is an empty concrete bin left, in which will be filled with concrete. Finally, when all the work is done, there will be new asphalt placed to repair the road. To be able to asphalt, part of the road surface must also be removed, the sawing work and preparations for asphalting are also carried out by Hein Heun Sloopwerken B.V.
