Expansion of the Twente Canals in the east of the Netherlands

Van Oord, Hakkers, Beens & Count & Cooper

The Twente Canals are an important logistical link for transporting goods by water to the ports of Almelo, Hengelo and Enschede.

The consortium is replacing sheet piles over 47 kilometres and widening the canal, so larger ships can sail faster and more safely. That removes about 900 trucks from the road each day.

Count & Cooper supported both the tender phase and the actual delivery.

47

km of sheet piles

12

km nature-friendly banks

900

fewer trucks per day
