wetlands, is the <strong>largest in northwestern Europe<\/strong>. We were allowed to use our expertise to carry out <strong>nature restoration work<\/strong>. For the LIFE II project, we removed forest in the Weerribben and dug capholes. The released material was pumped to the Wetering-west depot location using a 7 km long discharge pipeline.   <\/p><p class=\"p1\">The Kiersche Wijde and Kerkgracht (that Wieden) were part of the large <strong>LIFE II project<\/strong>. Here we dug ditches and fens, removed forest and dug capholes to create a riparian habitat. The capholes were created at various depths. The released material was pumped to a sand extraction site using a pressure pipeline so that it could be made shallower.   <\/p><p class=\"p1\">For the habitat plan De Wieden, <strong>capholes and marshes<\/strong> were <strong>restored<\/strong>. The released material was pumped to the island \u201cVoornpol\u201d by means of the Shredder pontoon. <\/p><p class=\"p1\">In this cultural-historical area, we are working hard to preserve the variety of ponds, lakes, marsh forests, large reed beds, hay meadows with their flora and fauna. We look back on a beautiful and special project of nature restoration work we carried out. <\/p><p> <\/p><hr><p> <\/p><p><em>Want to know more about the Shredder Dredger and how this machine can be of service in your project?
