The project involves raising the Afsluitdijk causeway on its north side – bordered by the Wadden Sea – with bespoke concrete blocks. Two large pumping stations are also to be built at Den Oever, on the causeway’s western edge. This allows draining of water from the IJsselmeer – a bay to the south of the causeway – to the Wadden Sea. Passages will also be built to enable fish to travel from the sea to IJsselmeer. In addition to designing, building and financing the reinforcement, the scheme also involves operating and maintaining the Afsluitdijk for 25 years.
