TenneT selects BAM for new 380 kV connection between Moerdijk and Tilburg (in the Netherlands)
TenneT has awarded BAM Infra Nederland the civil works contract for the 380 kV high-voltage connection between Moerdijk and Tilburg, in the Netherlands, covering the eastern section of the new connection between Rilland and Tilburg. This is the first project within the multi-year EU367 framework agreement, under which BAM and TenneT are collaborating on the expansion of the Dutch high-voltage grid. The works will take two years to complete and include the construction of 138 pylon foundations and the installation of temporary access roads.
Sustainable and innovative construction
The 40-kilometre route between Moerdijk and Tilburg runs through an area of valuable natural habitats and agricultural land. This requires smart, sustainable solutions to minimise environmental impact. BAM has therefore opted for the reuse of existing materials, contributing to circular construction, and the use of as much electric equipment as possible to reduce CO2 emissions. Through intelligent design solutions, BAM is also ensuring a more efficient execution by reducing the amount of equipment required. In addition, ecological measures are being taken to further reduce the impact on local flora and fauna.
By using digital tools such as GIS and parametric design, BAM is able to ensure precise planning and predictable project delivery. Accelerating the energy transition in a sustainable way aligns seamlessly with our strategy, ‘Building a sustainable tomorrow’, which focuses on sustainability.
