01What is being requested
Rijkswaterstaat has started a market consultation for research into sand extraction pits (AT-2025-06). The objective is to provide the market with insight into the feasibility and to collect input for a potential tender. The consultation focuses on determining the suitability of sand extraction pits for coastal nourishment, including granular and chemical research.
The Rijkswaterstaat program Kustlijnzorg is responsible for protecting the Dutch coast against the negative influence of the North Sea. Since 1990, a large quantity of sand has been extracted from the North Sea annually to protect the Dutch coast through sand nourishments. The sand required for this is extracted from the North Sea. It is necessary to conduct seabed research to determine whether the intended sand extraction pits contain suitable sand for performing nourishments. For high-quality granular and chemical analyses, it is necessary to be able to take almost undisturbed samples. Goa
