Projects

Hydrex Research Center has undertaken numerous research and consultancy projects directly or indirectly related to clean rivers, seas and oceans. Below are some examples.

Current projects

As part of our ongoing commitment to clean rivers, seas, and oceans, we started a new collaboration with Provincie Flevoland and Waterschap Zuiderzeeland. Hydrex Research Center guides our dedicated team of Technical University of Delft students to achieve high quality results and aims to significantly enhance water quality within the Flevoland region.

Commissioned projects

With our team of Technical University of Delft students, we provided new insights for the Schone Maaswaterketen – a collaboration between Rijkswaterstaat, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, Dutch water boards and water companies. Their goal is to make the Meuse basin cleaner by reducing pollution.

Hydrex Research Center guides our dedicated team of Technical University of Delft students to achieve high-quality results and aims to help the authorities significantly enhance the water quality within the Flevoland region.

In our continued effort to clean rivers, seas, and oceans, we have established a new partnership between the Province of Zuid-Holland and Hydrex Research Center. This initiative involves a committed team of students from the Technical University of Delft. Their mission is to deliver superior results and provide substantial support to local authorities in improving water quality throughout the Zuid-Holland region.

HRC publications

Sediment was sampled at seven locations in the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp to determine the contamination levels. With the help of these results authorities can take specific action to reduce the pollution at source and clean up the widespread, severely contaminated sediment.

An investigation was conducted into whether inland shipping is a more workable option than the current pipeline construction plans in the Antwerp area. With the help of this evaluation, Belgian authorities can decide whether to move forward with the plans or choose an alternative.

This project investigated the laws and regulations concerning dredging in the Netherlands to see how innovative technologies might be implemented. The goal was to better understand how the government, companies and local municipalities handle the dredging of contaminated sediments.
