Hydraulic integration of an HT-ATES in the Rotterdam Nesselande heating network
The three-year innovation program WarmingUP has shown that collective sustainable heating systems are technically and socially feasible in the Netherlands. However, heating the urban environment with sustainable sources requires new infrastructures and regulations. Nearly 60 parties from around the world have provided new knowledge, instruments… -
Sand from the North Sea – the Minerals Information System
Deltares is working with TNO and on behalf of Rijswaterstaat on the Minerals Information System (DIS), which will provide a picture of how much sand can be extracted from the North Sea. Since 2019, we have been working on a major update to version 3.1. It draws on a lot of new data which was not used in previous versions. The most recent version… Health water, soil -
A reed bed for treating water makes neighbourhoods greener and local residents happier
Soil remediation usually leads to disruption and it is often very expensive. But other approaches are possible: remediation using nature actually contributes to spatial quality and the costs are much lower than with conventional land excavation and disposal, and groundwater extraction and treatment. Our knowledge of the subsurface and water… Health water, soil -
BlueEarth: informed and interactive decision-making for sustainable water management
BlueEarth enables interactive and informed decision-making for a water secure world. BlueEarth is an approach for a structured and interactive stakeholder planning process supported by the BlueEarth Digital Environment to bring in quantitative information. The BlueEarth Digital Environment provides you with access to data and tools that help you… -
REACHOUT research and innovation project
REACHOUT is a European Commission funded research and innovation project to advance user-oriented climate services to support the implementation of the Green Deal. Therefore, research partners, climate service providers and city stakeholders are co-developing a coherent set of services for seven city hubs across the EU. Floods -
Global Water Watch: app with worldwide water information
Societies and economies are under threat because of the unreliability of per capita water resources due to climate change, non-sustainable use and political instability. Worldwide water information is essential to address this fundamental challenge. To stimulate access to water information, thDeltares has – with its partners World Resources… Water supply Floods -
Sustainable and low-cost installation of monopile foundations for future very large wind turbines
Within five years, the GROW research project SIMOX, Sustainable Installation of XXL Monopiles, aims to have innovative technologies for the installation of large offshore wind turbines foundations commercially available. By testing multiple techniques, SIMOX will develop new and necessary technical and environmental knowledge. Such techniques… Energy transition -
Deltares peat mapping in Indonesia – status update
In 2017 Deltares, together with ITB (Institute of Technology Bandung), submitted a rapid and cost effective peat mapping method to the Indonesian Peat Prize that applied an elevation model (DTM) created from airborne LiDAR data, and limited field measurements of peat thickness. The position of the peat bottom is determined by subtracting the peat… Floods Subsidence -
Sustainable decommissioning of offshore wind turbine foundations
The limited lifetime of offshore wind farms requires an efficient and safe decommissioning. The project Hydraulic Pile Extraction Scale Tests (HyPE-ST) studied the option of removal of offshore wind turbine foundations (monopiles) in a sustainable way. HyPE-ST project aimed at both the fundamental understanding and the demonstration of the… Energy transition -
Major joint industry project for more reliable offshore cables
The Cable Lifetime Monitoring Joint Industry Project (JIP CALM) was launched on 8 July 2019. This project is a collaboration between over 30 international organisations that aim to reduce subsea power-cable failures and make offshore wind energy more reliable. Energy transition -
New pile installation method for offshore wind monopiles
Monopiles are one of the most common foundation designs in offshore wind construction due to their ease of installation in shallow to medium depths of water. The dominant method used to drive monopiles into the seabed is the so-called hydraulic impact piling (hammering). The main disadvantages of this technique are the noise levels emitted during… Energy transition -
Pre-feasibility study of ecosystem-based adaptation measures for Xiangtan
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) assigned Deltares and Ewaters a pre-feasibility study on suitable ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) measures for Xiangtan, People’s Republic of China, in the context of its Xiangtan Low-Carbon Transformation Sector Development Program.
