Just a niggling longer and Van der Lugt Lisianthus can , next to the six - hectare fresh building at their new positioning in Monster , set out collect rainwater in a saucily made drainage area . Van Daalen Grond- , Weg- en Waterbouw recently complete a 10,000 three-dimensional meter catchment basin , so that the washstand is simultaneously finish with the glazing of the nursery . " In this way of life , from that second on , the grower collect any rain that come down even before having a demand for water , " Dirk - Jan van Daalen explain during a tour of the construction site . Dirk - Jan with the last excavation work in the backdrop

Since February , the characteristic , orange machinery of Van Daalen GWW can be found at the Molenweg in Monster . “ For more and more task in which we are involved , we are asked to take care of the everlasting package , from situation preparation , archeological site work for pipelines to creating basins and finishing the base for a company . We can then utilize all element of our profession in which we are proficient and that we bask . ”

A start was made on 1 February with develop the intact patch for building . Quite a problem , not least because of the big amount of several humble gardens that used to engage the plot . “ The full secret plan has been leveled , waterways satisfy in and pave removed , so that there now is a nice consistent cultivation layer without debris in it . We were able to cede the website ready for building on 1 March , despite the fact that it was quite wet in other February . Two dry weeks at the end of the month were quite helpful . "

A nearby ditch was then widened because ditches elsewhere had to give path due to the restructuring of the plot . Then it was meter for the catchment basin , or actually the basins . Van der Lugt Lisianthus is aim two . One of 10,000 cubic meters and one of 7,000 three-dimensional metre . This apply the raiser sufficient urine memory board and way for manoeuver in the event of an emergency .

If you reckon intimately , you will see a black pipe that will service as a drainpipe valve for Rainlevelr and gray pipework in the corner for the overflow . The inlets will be mount when the foil is applied .

Both basins are connected to a connecting pipe , so that the water storey in the two basins remains the same . To make that ' leveling ' possible , the levee of both catchment area must be equally gamey and the bottom as deep . Because the watershed are not the same size , it expect a fortune of reckoning and drawing work before they were able to dig . " Fortunately , these days we are design at an former stage with all parties involved and we first puff everything in 3D - GPS so that problems are foreclose and we can keep go bad nicely . "

Part of the excavation can also lie in of pre - load up the soil . “ In our work you always have to know what case of underground you are shell out with . With as deterrent example a washbasin ; putting a very high levee on a washy soil makes no sense . Pre - loading for a good compaction is then a solution . You do not require the levee to sink after stab and profiling . The annoying thing is that that closure is often not the same everywhere . If that materialize , the entire drainage area is at once out of balance . You do n’t require that . Here in Monster , we have a honest subway system and pre - load was not necessary . "

The washstand at Van der Lugt also has a chic detail : a retaining wall has been installed in the basin . “ Here , cultivation dirt can be stored periodically and scooped up with a power shovel , without damaging the drainage basin . The building of basin is really a specialism , and this also involves creative things like this . It is best when the grower leaves thing more or less to us . We can really free him completely from worry and make something that is low-cost and that he or she is comfortable with for about fifteen eld . ”

As before long as one river basin is cease , the next basin can be started with . But not before the lining on the largest basin has been installed . That lining is already tailor - made in advancement . " An reward of working with expectant precision in 3D , " Dirk - Jan explain . Finally , pave and asphalt must be installed on the plot of ground . " Only then can we really make it neaten for Van der Lugt , " Dirk - Jan concludes .
