Projects
Houtribdijk reinforcement
The Houtribdijk no longer meets the safety norm laid down in the Water Act. In response, Rijkswaterstaat is reinforcing this dyke between Lelystad and Enkhuizen with sand and stone. After the reinforcement, the dyke is able to withstand a severe storm that, on average, occurs once every 10,000 years.
