Protective nets Waterschap protective nets
Technical textiles as a material for specifically designed protective nets. This enabled the Amstel, Gooi and Vecht Water Board to use their water treatment plant in an optimal way again.
The Amstel, Gooi and Vecht Waterschap faced a unique challenge at their water treatment plant with two ICEAS tanks that manage the entire wastewater treatment process in one tank, a rarity in the Netherlands. However, seagulls caused issues by consuming floating wastewater and contaminating the environment with their excrament.
In response to this problem, Polyned designed and installed two protective nets over the water treatment tanks. These nets are specifically designed to keep seagulls from the tanks, preventing further contamination. The nets are designed to be robust enough to effectively protect the tanks without interfering with operational processes or complicating tank maintenance.
The installation of the protective nets has had a direct positive impact on both the functionality of the water treatment tanks and the hygiene of the environment. By keeping seagulls out, pollution has significantly decreased, resulting in a cleaner and safer working environment. The Amstel, Gooi and Vecht Waterschap is very satisfied with the solution that has not only improved operational efficiency but also enriched the living environment for the surrounding community.
This project for the Amstel, Gooi and Vecht Waterschap shows our capacity to provide effective and sustainable solutions to complex challenges in the water treatment sector. The successful implementation of the protective nets illustrates how a simple but well-thought-out intervention can lead to significant improvements in both environmental hygiene and operational efficiency. This project highlights our commitment to innovation and our ability to deliver customized solutions that meet the specific needs of our customers.
Full in-house capabilities from start to finish
Our designer creates an initial sketch and provides an artistic rendering to deliver a clear visual solution for a realistic image. We also provide a cost estimate.
If you're pleased with the sketch and budget, we'll move on to the preliminary design phase, complete with final calculations, including design specifications, costs, and structural requirements.
Before we proceed with production, we finalize the construction details in a binding timetable.
Our next step is to execute the production and installation plan. Materials will be packed and delivered to the site, where our VCA-certified technicians will manage the installation.
Once the installation is complete, a handover with the project leader will take place, during which everything will be thoroughly checked. We also provide maintenance and service, customized to the project and in agreement with the client.
