Our activities

Clients also call on Van Oord for soil consolidation and soil stabilisation. We use vertical and horizontal drainage techniques to speed up the settlement of subsoil, in order to facilitate the accelerated development of building sites. The world’s largest vertical drainage installation rig is owned by Van Oord.

The activities for soil improvement are:
- vertical drainage
- deep compaction
- drilling and blasting

The business unit that executes these activities is Wicks bv.
