Challenge
The Maeslantkering is a crucial part of Dutch water safety and must function reliably under all circumstances. The existing stainless steel cable carrier exposed to an aggressive environment with moisture, salt, and varying loads. After years of use, complete replacement was an option, but this would be drastic and costly.
Approach
Commissioned by Hollandia Services , Wisman Techniek opted for a sustainable approach: completely dismantling, overhauling, and reinstalling the existing stainless steel cable carrier Tsubaki Kabelschlepp GmbH. During the overhaul, the cable carrier was cable carrier inspected, cleaned, and optimized where necessary to meet the highest reliability requirements once again.
Result
Thanks to the overhaul, the service life of the stainless steel cable carrier has been cable carrier extended, while maintaining maximum reliability and safety. The installation is once again functioning optimally, without the need for complete replacement. This approach results in a sustainable solution with minimal impact on the operation of the Maeslant barrier and efficient use of resources.
