Site visit: foundation problems homes along the Almelo-De Haandrik canal

Recently, the Dutch Knowledge Centre for Foundation Problems (KCAF) visited several foundation repair projects along the Almelo-De Haandrik canal (Overijssel, The Netherlands). The visit was part of a post-academic training programme focused on practical approaches to foundation issues.

After modifications to the canal to accommodate larger vessels, some waterfront homes began to subside. As a result, sustainable foundation solutions are now being implemented along the canal to stabilize properties and prevent further damage.

During the visit, the group explored projects by SealteQ, Duurzaam Funderingsherstel, and Bresser. These projects focus on reinforcing foundations to restore structural integrity and protect homes for the future.
