Quay improvement Schagerkogge

We ensure the safety of the dikes in our management area (North Holland north of the North Sea Canal). We regularly check the safety of the dikes. Several storage dikes at Schagerkogge, east of Schagen, have been rejected and need to be improved. We will ensure that the dikes meet the safety requirements for the coming years. 

Where is the project taking place?

These storage dikes are located east of Schagen, in the agricultural area. The parts of the storage dikes that need to be reinforced are shaded on the map. The different colours the map indicate the various dike sections into which the storage dikes are divided.

What's going to happen?

The quays at the Schagerkoggeboezem no longer meet the required height and therefore need to be raised. This will be done by adding extra soil on top of the current dike. Preparations for this maintenance work are currently being made in collaboration with the Movares consultancy firm. 

Who do we work with?

HHNK is the client for this dike improvement project. We are working together with the Movares consultancy firm and discussions are being held with various farmers and other residents in the area who have plots of land on or adjacent to the dike. In addition, the municipalities of Hollands Kroon and Schagen are being informed about the work and, where necessary, coordination is taking place with both municipalities.

When will the project take place and how long will it last?

The design for the dike reinforcement is currently being drawn up, after which the contract with the contractor will be drawn up and the permits will be applied for. The plan is to complete the work before the end of 2026.
