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

Recently, the Dutch Knowledge Centre for Foundation Problems (Kennis Centrum Aanpak Funderingsproblematiek: 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 toured several projects, including one by Bresser. These projects are aimed at reinforcing foundations to protect homes for the future.

Sharing insights on doing business internationally at Chamber of Commerce event

Doing business in Turkey? Director Taco Bresser shared his insights during the national Chamber of Commerce event on international business, #Road2TheWorld.

The occasion was Bresser’s recent work in Turkey, where the company was involved in the relocation of valuable cultural heritage. In southeastern Turkey, a medieval tomb had to be moved to make way for the construction of a dam. Thanks to Bresser’s knowledge and expertise, this monument was successfully relocated and preserved for future generations.

In addition, Bresser is also active in Istanbul, where work is underway to preserve a centuries-old clock tower. These projects underscore Bresser’s international role in protecting and preserving historical heritage.
