Sustainable water retention system in Nijkerkerveen
The client, the Municipality of Nijkerk, has the ambition to structure Nijkerkerveen in a sustainable way, which is why water was given an important position in a new-build neighbourhood in Nijkerkerveen. A sustainable solution for rainwater was realised in the form of a water channel.
Water retention system
For this project, the ditches that were already present were retained as far as possible. In addition to this, a wide water channel was created on the outskirts of the village, using some 200 metres of Bosch Beton L retaining walls varying in height from 1.5 to 2 metres with heel. We supplied the walls and contractor J. van den Brom & Zn. BV, a family company and specialist in earthworks, installed these professionally.
Sustainable solutions
It is important for the Municipality of Nijkerk that work is carried out in a sustainable way. The existing ditches were widened and deepened to create a water channel. Our retaining walls were used in this project as water retention system. The water channel is a sustainable solution for rainwater storage. The plan was designed in collaboration with the Municipality of Nijkerk.
