Mobility and infrastructure
One of our expertise
Ballast Nedam deploys a lot of expertise daily, mobility and infrastructure included. We have been working on infrastructural elements to improve mobility in the Netherlands for many years. We focus on complex tunnels, roads, viaducts, bridges, quay walls and other infrastructural elements.
Smart choices
At Ballast Nedam, we do not shy away from a challenge, as was made evident by us taking on the A24 Blankenburgverbinding project. The Maasdeltatunnel originally consisted of five or six tunnel sections that were to be sunk one by one.
This plan got us thinking. Was there a smarter and more efficient way to realise this immersed tunnel? Together with DEME Group, we designed a method in which the excavation pits move further into the waterway. As a result, the tunnel consists of only two immersion elements. Ensuring more convenience to shipping.
Sustainable asphalt? How it works
How do we reuse recycled materials in our asphalt products? The asphalt that we mill becomes considerably smaller during milling, after which it goes to Asfalt en Recycling Business (ARB), where the milling material is broken down, stored separately and classified. In doing so, the grades, the type of crushed stone, and the type of bitumen are considered. This guarantees the quality of the building materials, allowing us to structurally apply top layers with 65% higher reuse.
