This week Taco Bresser gave a guest lecture to students Civil Engineering at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. The lecture is a part of the minor ‘constructive design’. It was very nice to inspire the students with examples of sustainable relocation and preservation of heritage.
A monumental villa (1936) in the south of Holland that had subsided by 23 centimeters was successfully jacked and rectified by Bresser. The 370-ton building was carefully jacked up and placed on a new foundation. Thanks to this operation, the 80-year-old house has been preserved and now offers the new owners a beautiful place to live.
