Sunken N31 makes Harlingen one whole again

The N31 is the direct connection between Amsterdam and Leeuwarden. The road creates a division of Harlingen. By building a new road largely sunken, the visual division of Harlingen has vanished. In the new situation, the road crosses the Van Harinxmakanaal in the form of an aqueduct. Waiting times at the Koningsbrug for automotive traffic are a thing of the past. The railway is crossed ‘on different floors’, with the track running over the N31. The N31 has been...

Reconstruction of the Stompwijkseweg

The Stompwijkseweg is getting a new road surface over a length of about four kilometers; the bank construction is being partly replaced and partly renovated. To make the road more attractive for recreational traffic, there will be bicycle lanes on both sides. After completion of the work, the road can last at least another forty years. The existing bank construction is reinforced by placing pipe piles behind the quay down to the hard pleistocene sand layer. Solines supplied all the foundation...

Solines supplies steel pipe piles because of supply problems with prefabricated concrete piles.

Several foundation companies are facing a shortage of prefabricated concrete piles. Due to the surge in construction and the aftermath of the economic crisis, in which several producers of concrete piles went bankrupt, the remaining producers can no longer produce enough to meet the enormous demand on time. This results in huge delays and therefore potentially high cost posts. Fortunately, Solines always has the alternative in stock. Several companies have already started looking for steel pipe piles, which are custom-made by Solines and...
