In collaboration with Omroep Venlo and Omroep P&M, Waterschap Limburg is producing Operatie Dijk: an eight-part television series about the River Meuse and flood protection. The Steyl-Maashoek dike reinforcement project, carried out by Dijkzone Alliantie (Ploegam, Dura Vermeer and Hollandia Infra), is also being highlighted.
Technical environmental manager Stephan Kweens explains the special solution being applied at this location: the Vlotterkering®. This is a self-closing flood barrier that rises automatically in the event of high water, without any human intervention.
