Since 2017, stricter calculation rules have applied to foundation piles, which resulted in longer foundations and 25% extra COโ emissions in the port of Rotterdam, with no practical problems. Within the INPAD research programme, large-scale tests were therefore carried out that not only saved millions in construction costs, but also 13 kilotonnes of COโ. The results are in line with an internationally developed design method and form the basis for the update of CUR2001-8. During the Geotechnical Day, Maarten and Alfred will present these new insights and their significance for the sector.
These presentations will be given in Dutch. More information and registration can be done via this page.
