Snevert Pumping Station Inlet
The Snevert pumping station in Schagen was relocated to Lutjewallerweg in Schagen a few years ago. However, the intake for this pumping station is still located on the Snevert. We are now going to relocate the intake to the pumping station’s new location on Lutjewallerweg.
What happened?
We are doing this work because the current intake is no longer adequate. This makes it a good time to construct a new intake right next to the pumping station. The new intake has a larger diameter and discharges into a wider ditch. This immediately provides greater capacity for draining water. These days, we occasionally experience very heavy rainfall. With this new intake, we will be better prepared to handle it.
Who do we work with?
The project is being carried out by VOPO, a contractor specializing in pumping technology. The excavation work is being done by Van der Meer, an earthmoving company.
Where is the project taking place?
The project is taking place on Lutjewallerweg in Schagen. In order to install the inlet, the road must be excavated. For this reason, we are setting up a detour route for through traffic. Local traffic may still use Lutjewallerweg, in consultation with the contractor. This will ensure that homes and farmland remain accessible.
When will the project take place and how long will it last?
Work will begin in week 34 and is expected to last until the end of September. Some delays are possible due to unforeseen circumstances. Once we are finished, the street will be paved with concrete pavers. We are doing this because the soil we are replacing will settle slightly. We refer to this as settlement. After a one-year settlement period, the road will be repaved.
