More client case studies are available in our annual report.
De Stichtse Rijnlanden
'Sustainably ensuring clean water and dry feet’
De Stichtse Rijnlanden Water Authority covers the southern part of the province of Utrecht and a small part of South Holland. On the Lekdijk, the water authority is facing a daunting task. It has to reinforce the dike from Amerongen to Schoonhoven. That’s a stretch of 55 kilometres.
This is very important, because if the Lekdijk were to give way, a large part of the Randstad could be flooded, all the way to Amsterdam.
North Water
'Sustainable industrial water system in Delfzijl’
We’re spoiled: turn on the tap and high-quality drinking water flows out. But open the newspaper and you’ll read that even in the Netherlands water is becoming scarce. All the more reason to be aware of this basic necessity. As a consumer, but also in industry.
The production and supply of industrial water is sustainable and reduces the pressure on drinking water capacity.
De Woonplaats
'Flexibility and innovation in housing construction’
Build, build, build. That’s the motto of our time. But building goes hand in hand with major challenges in terms of space, nitrogen problems and sustainability. De Woonplaats, a housing association that operates mainly in the municipalities of Enschede, Aalten, Oost Gelre and Winterswijk, is doing everything in its power to help those seeking homes as effectively and efficiently as possible.
You can always count on NWB Bank, with its favourable interest rates.
HVC
'Creatively building an energy-neutral Noordoostpolder’
In Marknesse in the Noordoostpolder, HVC is making all the preparations for the Sunspace solar park. 74,000 solar panels will generate around 43 million kilowatt hours of solar energy.
The construction of the park is progressing well, also thanks to the pleasant cooperation with NWB Bank for the financing.
