Project description
The new alignment of the N31 provincial road at Harlingen, Friesland, goes around the city centre of Harlingen and crosses the Harinxma canal, parallel to the old bridge in the existing N31 road. Due to the number of recreational (sailing) vessels passing the existing moveable bridge in the N31 being the cause of usual traffic delay, the new crossing has been designed as an aqueduct under the canal. The cross section of the aqueduct comprises two motorway tubes with 2 lanes each, with a low internal wall with columns in between. The aqueduct is suited only for motorway traffic.
Scope of work
Transport and immersion engineering and preparations, construction engineering of immersion provisions, operational command and management of transport, immersion and sand flow operations and preparations of aqueduct and management of all its’ subcontractor parties, including advisory work upon construction for civil and structural post-immersion finishing works of the aqueduct.
