Team Bresser has successfully jacked up and straightened the monumental lock keeper’s house in Veere. The characteristic building from 1872 had unevenly subsided, requiring careful rectification to restore its stability.
This project was extra special for our colleague Stefan, as it took place in his home region. The regional newspaper PZC covered the project with a video report and an in-depth story about this remarkable job.
A special job in Wassenaar. Bresser moved the 110-year-old coffee house 27 meters there. The national monument was moved to its new place by rails. Omroep West made a report.

Engineering News-Record magazine (Scott Lewis) recently published a list of the 10 heaviest buildings ever moved worldwide. We are proud that two Bresser projects are included in this prestigious ranking:
A result we are truly proud of!
In the Dutch city Roosendaal, Bresser moved a 44-meter-high chimney (450 tons) in one piece over a distance of 450 meters. Thanks to years of effort by former Philips employee Jongmans, the tower was spared from the demolition hammer. The buildings on the former Philips site have recently been demolished to make way for a distribution center. With the exception of the chimney. Commissioned by the municipality of Roosendaal, Bresser moved the entire structure upright to a new location on the side of the site. At this location, Philips’ industrial heritage remains a landmark for the city.
