Description

The Maasvlakte 2 project, the construction of 2,000 ha of new port area, is, after the Oosterschelde works, another unique hydraulic engineering project for the Netherlands.
The Maasvlakte 2 organisation of the Port of Rotterdam Authority NV, the PUMA (Boskalis and Van Oord) contractor consortium and KIVI NIRIA are jointly organising a lecture cycle, covering the entire process from preparation to execution.
During this lecture cycle, the various aspects that have been and are being investigated during the project will be discussed and explained.
The topics explained relate to:
- the preparation phase
- the tender phase
- the design phase
- the execution phase
- special topics

The initiators believe that this lecture cycle will make a good contribution to knowledge transfer, information exchange and experience gained and to be gained during this project for the entire chain in the realisation process of a large hydraulic engineering project.
We are confident that this lecture series will provide an informative programme for the profession and in particular for young prospective engineers and, of course, other interested parties.

The number of places is limited to a maximum of 80. Please register before 1 June 2010.

- Introduction/afternoon chairman: Tiedo Vellinga (Port of Rotterdam Authority)
- Design of stony dune: Gerard Loman /Jan Willem Markvoort/ Ronnie Poot (PUMA)
- Execution of stony dune and land reclamation: Dirk Hamer (PUMA)
- Design/implementation of quay walls: PUMA : Hans Dries (BAVO-MV2 JV)
There will also be an opportunity to visit the stone company with, among other things, the giant E-crane, which places the 50-tonne concrete blocks (including clamp) at 63 m from the centre of the crane's undercarriage in the toe of the stony dune, at work.
