AFSLUITDIJK DEN OEVER

At the Afsluitdijk in the Netherlands, work is progressing on a large-scale water

safety project. In this project, the PVL Underwater Cutting Torch enables the

precise cutting and removal of existing sheet piles underwater at a depth of

12 meters.

 

These sheet piles were originally installed to facilitate the construction of

new discharge sluices. Once the sluices are completed, the sheet piles must

be removed underwater, a task being carried out with the cutting torch of PVL.

By using the underwater cutting torch to remove the sheet piles, the project can proceed to its ultimate goal: constructing new discharge sluices and a pumping station to improve water drainage and strengthen the safety of the Afsluitdijk.
