Title Results of the foundation pile trial at Prinses Amaliahaven Rotterdam Country/Territory Netherlands Date 31/03/21 Description Last winter’s trial with foundation piles at Prinses Amaliahaven in the Rotterdam port area of Maasvlakte has been successfully concluded. The study, during which foundation piles were purposely brought to the point of collapse under heavy loads, has yielded improved design guidelines for the foundations of civil engineering structures. These new insights can be directly applied to the development of new quay walls in Amaliahaven and Alexiahaven, saving millions of euros in investments and significantly reducing the volume of carbon emissions released during construction.
