Circular Buiksloterham

For the new Buiksloterham district in Amsterdam-North, a new sustainable water treatment system was commissioned by Waternet. The new sanitation technology was designed by DeSaH BV and the execution of the WTB / E work was realised by Landustrie.

On the quay at Landustrie, the plant is built on a floating concrete hull. After sailing towards Amsterdam, the treatment plant will eventually be moored at the northern IJ bank.

In the Amsterdam district, 550 new-build homes will be linked to the world's first floating treatment plant. The traditionally industrial business park will be transformed into a sustainable and circular area. The "Circular Buiksloterham" project will be completed by mid-2019.

Hydroelectric power station opening

Last Saturday, the Netherlands' first cooperative hydropower plant was festively opened. Amid great interest, the children's mayor and the youth water digger activated the hydropower auger. After the official part, there was an open house for all interested parties. A special Dommelstroom app was developed for the plant, which provides real-time insight into energy production.

Three Hundred Minerals Renovated

Three hundred mini-grids renovated

On Thursday 9 November 2020, the renovated 300 mini pumping stations commissioned by the Municipality of Leusden went into operation. Working closely with social employment service Amfors Groep, Landustrie renovated the controls of these mini pumping stations in the municipality. On the basis of demo cabinets supplied by Landustrie, Amfors' metal company (Metafors) realised the switchboxes and the corresponding outdoor installation cabinets. Old switchboxes were dismantled by them and carefully separated, checked and recycled where possible. The proceeds from the recycling were donated to KiKa.

Largest hydropower auger

The world's largest hydropower screw has been manufactured at Landustrie so far. The 5-metre diameter screw is destined for a project in England and will generate around 355 kW of green power. Because of the dimensions of the screw pump, it will be transported by ship. The photos show embarkation of the screw pump and the accompanying screw trough from its own quay in Sneek.

To treat industrial wastewater, three Landy augers have been shipped to Vancouver, Canada. After arriving at the port, the augers will continue by road to British Columbia. The augers are over 2 metres in diameter and up to 14.5 metres long.

CSD technology disappears; what are the implications?

In the very near future, the dial-up technology Circuit Switched Data will no longer be supported. KPN will start the phase-out as early as 1 January 2021 and other providers will follow in the foreseeable future.

Expansion of Gabal el Asfar WWTP

The Gabal el Asfar sewage treatment plant, located on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, is undergoing a major expansion. After completion of the entire project, the plant will have a capacity of 2.5 million m3 of water per day, making it the largest plant in Africa and the Middle East and the third largest in the world. Implementation will be carried out by a consortium consisting of companies from Spain, Germany and Egypt.

Major hydro project in Alsace

The existing Steinsau weir on the River Ill near Erstein is being fitted with six pieces of LANDY hydropower jacks. The weir dates from the late 19th century and ensures that the downstream regions of Erstein and Strasbourg are not flooded during high water. Part of the restoration and renovation of the weir is the installation of screw turbines to generate renewable energy.
