AT-2025-06: Examination of sand catchment areas Text automatically translated in your browsing language Automatically translated

The Rijkswaterstaat Coastline Care programme is responsible for protecting the Dutch coast against the negative influence of the North Sea. Since 1990, a large amount of sand has been extracted annually on the North Sea to protect the Dutch coast by means of sand replenishments. The sand needed for this is extracted in the North Sea. This project concerns waterbed research in order to determine whether the intended sand catchment areas contain suitable sand for carrying out replenishments. For high-quality granular and chemical analyses, it is necessary to be able to take virtually untouched samples. Purpose of the market consultation The purpose of this market consultation is to gain more insight into how the market views the task. Responses from market parties to a number of issues provide a better picture of the feasibility of research into sand mining in relation to the use of the ships of the Rijksrederij. This allows Rijkswaterstaat to formulate the possible tender in such a way that the market has the space to deliver its added value. In addition, the market consultation has other goals. By means of the market consultation, market parties can get an early picture of the project and the project objectives. For Rijkswaterstaat, it gives a picture of the interest of the market in the possible tender. Finally, the market consultation for the market and Rijkswaterstaat provides a low-threshold opportunity to discuss matters with each other. Please refer to the appendices. -- Text automatically translated in your browsing language Automatically translated
