Strength in hydraulic engineering
• Flood control• Dike reinforcement• Storm Surge Barriers• Navigation locks and weirs
• Rivers and inland waterways• Harbours and transport• Coast• Offshore
River management• Integrated water resources management• Decision making • Hydrologic, hydraulic and morphologic modeling
• Drinking water process & planning• Waste water process & planning
ECT Terminal phase 2(Port of Rotterdam / Hutchison Wampoa) ImagineA new container terminal for Euromax Terminal due to increase of container volume.
The resultMore capacity for ECT containergiant by building aultramodern terminal
ARCADISMasterplanning, design and supervision.
Architecture
ImagineLandmarks,structures that fits in the landscape
ARCADISOwn architects and landscape designers
Dike improvementsImagineAll mayor dike improvements are prepared by ARACDIS
Assessment of primary flood defences in the Netherlands3500 km.
Some project examples are:Enkhuizen-Hoorn (20 km)Hondsbosche en Pettermerzee wering (6 km)Amerongen-Schoonhoven(50 km)Schoonhoven-Lekkerkerk (10 km)
The resultDesignContract managementSupervision
Maeslant storm surge barrier (Rotterdam, The Netherlands)ImagineFinancial control of the maintenance of this barrier.
The resultWe do the control of the financial contracts on behalf of the Dutch Department of Public Works.

Reliability is a key issue;
• Use proven concepts• Operating mechanism above water• Fail save design• Simple movement (horizontal or vertical only)• Easy accessible for maintenance• Operations is vital
How to keep a structure reliable
• Maintenance driven design• Risk based management• Learning and cooperating with other
sufficient budget
Reliability
