Hydraulic structures along coasts, rivers, and canals

At Royal HaskoningDHV, we understand the complex challenge of protecting people, assets, and infrastructure from the ever-changing climate.

Climate change poses an increasing threat, and adaptation is necessary for survival. The solutions we build today must remain effective for tomorrow. To safeguard people, their livelihoods, and the environment, we design and implement future-proof climate resilient solutions. 

Creating hydraulic structures, such as dikes, dams and flood barriers, is a vital step in managing the flow of water, changing how we live alongside it, mitigating floods, and providing safety and stability. Sustainable solutions can be obtained by applying smart combinations of hard and soft (Nature-based) protections. 

Royal HaskoningDHV has a long history of implementing hydraulic structures around the world. From dikes, river training works, and dams to the restoration of natural floodplains, hydraulic control structures, and storm surge barriers, our proven approach minimises flood risk while recognising natural processes. 

We design and implement solutions that meet bespoke technical requirements, integrate with natural environments, and adhere to strict budgetary and legislative demands.
 
And because environments are always changing, we build adaptability and resilience into every solution – making sure what’s important stays protected for decades to come.
