Zwaaikom - Container Terminal - Kanaaldijk Zuid

Nice walking route

Construction of Langshaven and Zwaaikom Vossenberg West II / Leeuwerik Reeshof Work started in mid-August 2012 In the Vossenberg West II area, on the north side of the Wilhelminakanaal, a longitudinal harbor (harbor along the bank) with a container terminal has been built. In order to be able to turn ships with containers, it is necessary to construct a so-called swing bowl at this longitudinal port, on the south side of the Wilhelminakanaal. A soil barrier will be built along the swing bowl. The construction of the Langshaven and Grondwal started in mid-August 2012. The construction of the swing bowl in September. The work lasted until March 2013. The editing of globe panorama is Oct. 2016 but is from April 7, 2013. Activities • Widening part of the Wilhelminakanaal; • construction of a new quay and placement of a container crane; • landscaping site for container handling; • dig a swing bowl and install a noise barrier (approximately eight meters high); • cutting down existing trees and timber embankments along the canal (to realize a wall and swing basin). The required permits were issued for this. The sound barrier is made of soil and equipped with plants to give the whole a natural appearance.
