The largest water storage in the Netherlands
To be able to use the Volkerak-Zoommeer as a temporary water storage area in the event of a storm surge whereby water levels may rise to a dangerously high level, the existing dikes around this lake including its lock and sluices, ground and closable watercourses present therein must be raised and strengthened. Seven civil engineering works had to be adapted and made double-retaining. Iv-Infra made the integral design of the civil engineering works and tested the existing gates and pivot points in accordance with new standards for several locks.
