07-01-2010NL: A Sandy Motor?This year, the Province of South Holland and the ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management will start execution of a unique pilot project: The Sand Motor.
The Sand Motor is a large volume of sand (20 million cubic meters) that will be nourished close to the shore of Delfland. Wind, waves and tidal currents will spread the sand accros the shorelines in a natural way.
The Sand Motor will be shaped as a 1.5 kilometer long hook (see artist impression) and will be located just north of Ter Heijde, close to the Solleveld natural area.
Main goals for this expensive project are to let the coast grow with sea level rise and to give space for nature and leasure.
