Piling ceremony for EuroParcs Enkhuizer Strand

After years of consultations with various authorities, citizen participation, and planning, the construction of the Enkhuizer Strand holiday park has commenced.

On July 1, the 100th pile was driven for 154 holiday homes. The work is in full swing and is on track to have the first holiday homes ready for use in October.

Alderman Jan Franx and EuroParcs board member Andries Bruil, along with approximately 100 guests, were present at this festive moment. The welcoming speech was preceded by cheerful songs from the Compagniezangers from Medemblik, amidst several beautiful model homes. The group then moved to the construction site, where the signal was given to start driving this ‘milestone’ pile, which was adorned with a sticker bearing Vroom’s logo “GOOD LUCK WITH THE CONSTRUCTION!”

When the ceremonial pile was fully driven, there was an official moment where four cheques totaling 10,000 euros were handed over to the Zuiderzeemuseum, North Holland North Lifesaving Brigade Enkhuizen, Football Association SV Enkhuizen, and Korfball Association DTS Enkhuizen. This amount was raised by various sponsors, all connected to the construction of the holiday park at this unique location on the IJsselmeer.

In addition to driving the prefab piles, Vroom Funderingstechnieken and Vroom Betonbouw are also responsible for the soil investigations, setting out, and raising the pile heads to the correct working height.

All foundation work in one hand!
