Joining forces

G-kracht, with shareholders Aannemingsmaatschappij Van Gelder, Gebr. De Koning and Giken Europe, started in Amsterdam in 2019 to innovatively replace quay walls as an innovation partner of the municipality.

In the meantime, we successfully tested our innovation in a pilot project and the innovation was fully validated by the municipality of Amsterdam and other stakeholders involved in 2023, resulting in a framework contract as of April 2024 with a term of 4 - 8 years.

How it started

Many quay walls in Amsterdam have reached the end of their service life in recent decades. In addition to the age of the quay walls, increased loads on the quay walls also play a role.
