SHEET PILE ANCHORING | CONSTRUCTION PIT FORTUNA POLDER

Because the demand for drinking water will increase and to optimize the pre-purification of the Gijster, a new intake pumping station will be built on the bank of the Bergsche Maas in the Fortuna Polder. To transport drinking water from the pumping station to the reservoir, three transmission lines will be constructed. Temporary construction pits are required to lay the transport pipes. To ensure that the sheet pile walls do not collapse under pressure, a strut frame or an anchoring system can be used. The advantage of using anchors is that the cofferdam remains accessible for various equipment. For the Fortunapolder project, JLD provided the design, delivery, installation and testing of 100 anchors and accessories.
