After almost 65 years, the mechanics of the Hollandsche IJssel barrier, the oldest Delta work in the Netherlands, needed to be replaced. Hollandia Services renewed the drive mechanism of the storm flood barrier for brand new cable drums and drive lines in the western lift towers, commissioned by Rijkswaterstaat. With the new drive mechanism, the barrier and its hinterland are assured of dry feet again.
