The Port of Rotterdam started its part of the work in January 2018. The 600 mixed-in-place piles are now st up and the reinforcement work and concrete placements of the quay walls are established as well. The Port wants to completed the work by the end of 2019.
The arrival of HES International B.V. on the Hartelstrook aims to improve the use of the available space within the existing port area.
