From Tuesday, January 17th to Friday, January 20th, InfraTech will take place at Ahoy Rotterdam. Holcim will also have a booth in Hall 1.

After a four-year adventure of development, Holcim Coastal has accomplished it: its Basalton Quattroblock is the most stable stone revetment of the moment.

The “new” factory in Alphen has been in operation for years now, serving as part of the largest hydraulic engineering project in the Netherlands, the renovation of the Afsluitdijk.

The stability of Holcim’s Basalton Quattroblocks proved to be so high during the tests conducted in Delft in 2017 that they could not be loaded to their maximum capacity. In January 2022, new tests were conducted to determine the maximum stability of the Basalton Quattroblock, a slope protection element.

Dat ándere blok van de Afsluitdijk, het Quattroblock, bleek in de Deltagoot nog veel beter te presteren dan gedacht. Bij Holcim hebben ze er grootse plannen mee nu de stabiliteitsfactor niet 1,37 blijkt, maar zelfs 1,64.
