The realization of the Ecovat full demo is progressing rapidly, we are now at a depth of 20 meters. On the picture you can see one of the few cranes in the Netherlands that can excavate perpendicular at this depth.
The drainage process has started to decrease the groundwater level around the Ecovat. In this way we can start with the excavation for the Ecovat. Water is pumped from the outside of the Ecovat to the inside, because too much water is withdrawn by the digging.

The company of Wedam has, as executive party, for the first time in their history realized the first ‘round’ wall in a very limited workspace. With the aid of a so-called Soilmix machine, two cutter wheels were placed in the ground. After reaching the desired depth, the cutter wheels were pulled up while the soil was further mixed. By connecting the wall panels formed in the ground, a complete wall was formed. In order to achieve the correct height and flatness of the wall, the top side was scraped off. This has realized the wall which will soon be the ground barrier and dam for the Ecovat.
The excavation of the pit will be conducted in the second half of September.

The construction is getting more ‘body’. The construction company of Wedam is busy with the preparation of the building site. Two months after the official start, a lot of changes have already been noticed. We aim to finish and implement the Ecovat S system after the summer period, with the intention to give you an impression of how the Ecovat system works in practice.
Living Lab
An extra feature of this full demo is the creation of a “Living Lab”, in which the operation of the system can be completed in mint condition and research done on a continuous basis for new applications and the accompanying configuration (hard- and control software).
