Consortium De Groene Boog is constructing a new energy-neutral motorway between the A13 at Rotterdam The Hague Airport and the A16/A20 at Terbregseplein. The 11km-long A16 Rotterdam ensures that traffic on the A13, A20 and surrounding local roads will soon be able to flow more smoothly. The new connection contributes to better accessibility, and the quality of life in the region.
The Oosterweel link will round off the small ring road around Antwerp by 2030 and provide underground. In doing so, builder Lantis is eyeing improving the city's liveability, with the added challenge of building this project in and around existing urban infrastructure.
The City of Amsterdam wants to ensure future-proof management and maintenance of the integral road tunnel system, and has therefore launched the Aanpak Wegtunnels Amsterdam programme. Within this programme, three tunnels and the traffic control centre are being tackled. The municipality has commissioned Tunnel Engineering Consultants (TEC, a permanent partnership of Royal HaskoningDHV and Witteveen+Bos) to support them in this in the coming years. TEC has engaged Infranea as a partner for support in terms of BIM, 3D design and the development of Digital Tunnel Twins.
As Infranea, we provide advice to and are an implementation partner of Strukton Systems when it comes to IT architecture, information modeling, optimization and digitization of the delivery process and the optimization of BIM modeling processes.
In 2018, the Swedish transport authority granted Siemens Mobility a contract for 800 million SEK (75 million euro) for the delivery of communications, control and monitoring technologies for E4 Stockholm Bypass. This new bypass connects the southern and northern parts of the surrounding municipalities in Stockholm in order to alleviate pressure on the main arterial roads, thereby significantly reducing traveller delays. The southern tunnel will be one of the largest road tunnels in the world.
A large-scale initiative has been launched in the Netherlands to prevent flooding and thus improve environmental conditions in more than 30 locations across the country. Room for the Waal is the most complex project within this Room for the River programme. With the Room for the River project, Rijkswaterstaat aims to reduce the risks of flooding by lowering the water level. This project involved shifting a dyke 350 metres inland and dredging a side channel, creating a new island in the river. This gave the Waal its own island, with a unique river park in the heart of Nijmegen, offering ample space for housing, recreation, culture, water and nature. Besides the widening and mixed-use park, the project also includes the construction of three bridges. The solution is radical, but sustainable.
