Quay improvement HULOK

HULOK is an abbreviation for Hensbroek, Ursem, Langereis, Opmeer, Koggenland. All polders are part of the VRNK reservoir. The kilometre project area has been assessed for safety, with the dike being rejected on the basis of height and inward stability. Once all rejected sections have been addressed, the area will be back in order for the next 30 years.

What has already been achieved?

After completing all the studies and permit procedures, HHNK started the HULOK dike improvement project in 2023. In the first phase, the first 4 km of the dike improvement project were completed, running from Oude Niedorp to Langereis and part of Berkmeer. Last year, we completed the section from Ursem to Hensbroek and part of the section from Kaagmolen to Wipbrug. 

What remains to be done?

The final phase of the dike improvement project has yet to be carried out. This part of the project is largely located between Molendijksweg, Braken, and the Obdam windmill. The work mainly consists of groundwork and pile driving.

Planning

At the end of September 2025, contractor Van der Meer BV from Scharnegoutum will commence implementation of phase 3. This final phase is expected to be completed by the end of January 2026.
