Therefore, it is a country in a constant process of rebuilding its disappearing land. Several water control devices which temporarily trap water have been constructed in this effort to preserve a communal place. One such device, the sea 1 lock gate , opens temporary seas, allowing the movement of water and enabling logistics. In addition, there are ongoing efforts to undertake a larger scale of logistics at an even quicker pace. The largest sea lock gate in the world, one that will block the North Sea from the Netherlands is currently being built at IJmuiden and is expected to be operational in 2022. 1 I use the word ‘sea lock gate, which could also be replaced by ‘sea sluice’. In dutch, zeesluis. Figure 1: ​The existing sea lock ​gate​ in IJmuiden.​ (​ Source: Kyulim Kim, 2019) Figure 2: ​Simulation image of new sea lock gate. (Source: Rijkswaterstaat) Introduction Whilst researching water control devices in the Netherlands, I discovered that Korean workers had also contributed to building the new feature on the horizon of the Netherlands. The largest ‘sea lock gate’​ i​ n the world that blocks the North Sea in IJmuiden, was built by a South Korean company called Geosung Tech. It was shipped in its entirety from the port of Mokpo, Korea to the port of IJmuiden, the Netherlands in January 2019. I was, therefore, able to witness and film the first of three sea lock gates arrive. However, whilst undertaking my research, the Dutch company OpenIJ blamed Geosung Tech for being delayed, immediately after receiving the sea lock gate. Geosung had to pay a compensation cost for the delay of the sea lock gate, which ultimately ended up bankrupting the company. In researching and writing this text, I have sought to understand how ideas of ‘placeness2’ can be revealed by a specific space through the method of image analysis. ​During the process of researching this issue I was attracted to the images of infrastructure that I encountered, especially the typical blueprints and PR images presented by the enterprises involved. These images are ​made for specific purposes, therefore, ​flat; they only show the surface of the structure. The context and spatial experience cannot be shown or is actively hidden, in such images. Such images from the Internet are crucial materials to my research in investigating the spaces they depict. These spaces are only accessible via such images due to their submergence in water. It is invisible yet it exists as an object and a passage, separating and dividing the spaces. Additionally, through observing and analyzing the images of each state of these massive infrastructures during their construction processes, it is possible to understand how they are located and relate to other places. I will, therefore, narrate the backside of 3 the images and imagine other outer liminal space, e​ xploring possible resonances with such infrastructures. Liminal space, here, is not represented as an image but emerges from the ones being represented. It is a transition space where time flows differently. It is a space where in-between functional and dysfunctional. In chapter one, ​On the Case​, I will briefly introduce the new sea lock gate in IJmuiden and explain its ongoing issues. In my second chapter, ​Floating-​, different images and information regarding the sea lock gate and immersion tunnel are weaved together, along with fragmental personal memories of different liminal spaces. This involves the process of re-narrating the story of a space, by bringing in another alternate history of the location​. 2 The term also can be understood as ‘sense of place’. 3 ​Liminal space is where all transformation takes place. ‘​In ​anthropology​, liminality (from the Latin word ​līmen​, meaning "a threshold") is the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle stage of a ​rite of passage​.’ Turner, Victor. ​"Liminal to liminoid in play, flow, and ritual: An essay in comparative symbology"​. Rice University Studies, 1974. On the Case On April 13 2019, I contacted the vice president of the Geosung Tech and we exchanged video files. The title of the video he sent me was ‘Sincerely wish for the support of the Netherlands people’​. ​It was written below that ​the video is intended to inform the Dutch people of an immoral action of the company and that everything which is said is based on truth and facts. ​The video he sent me consists of collected images and texts but does not include much visual evidence. Therefore, I presume that he needed the video file I took [Figure 14] as additional material for the trial which was in April and October 2019. On the court, Geosung Tech claimed the bank guarantee that OpenIJ collected at the end of 2018. ​If necessary, Geosung Tech will proceed to the arbitration court in Geneva, the ICC, as agreed in the construction contract4. ​Below is the email and extract of the video that I got from him: Monday, April 15, 2:12 AM Thank you for your interest in our issue. If you watch the video that I created and posted on Youtube, I think it will help you understand the issue. https://youtu.be/2gPE5DU-taQ If possible, it will be helpful if you can download the Youtube video and add your voice narration to the video since there are only subtitles for now. Also, I’m not an expert in making videos, so can you help me if something should be added to the video? Also, in late April and early May, Picket demonstrations will be held in front of the Ship Ijmuiden PR Hall, so please help if possible. We would like to watch the video you shot in January. Please promote our Youtube videos to others. It is linked to several SNS in the Netherlands. Best Regards, Hyun-Kug Lee GEOSUNG TECH CO., LTD. V. PRESIDENT / SHIP & OFFSHORE SALES DIVISION 4 ​The information is from Cobouw's accusation article "OpenIJ committed a crime with a bank guarantee for lock gates". Cobouw ​is an independent Dutch weekly magazine for t​he ​construction industry​.

(Source: Geosung Tech, 2019) ‘The Contract of Sea Lock Gates5: Foreward Geosung Tech and OpenIJ are on the eve of writing history, they created a dream together and now this dream is becoming reality. The dream they share is building together the biggest lock gates in the world. Both parties are more than aware the safety of thousands of Dutch citizens lies in their hands. Together they will build a true giant of steel keeping guard and protecting the Dutch inlands by retaining the ongoing threat of flooding for the next 100 years. To build the biggest lock gates in the world trust in each other and respecting each other is essential. Geosung Tech and OpenIJ are convinced that together they are capable to face this challenge. Geosung Tech and OpenIJ both driven by passion for steel structures, putting trust in each other, respecting each other are bundling forces to face this challenge and to succeed. Let mutual trust and connecting dreams be the cornerstone of our future cooperation and this agreement.’ Figure 5:​ Sea Lock Gates are successfully built and delivered. (Source: Geosung Tech, 2019) 5 https://youtu.be/2gPE5DU-taQ Figure 6: ​Claim issued by OpenIJ just after gates arrived in the Dutch sea. (Source: Geosung Tech, 2019) Figure 7:​ A wind-up doll with the shape of a wolf in sheep’s cloth shows the structure of the layers of the system around the gate. (Source: Geosung Tech, 2019) Following OpenIJ’s claim for compensation, Geosung requested the sea lock gate be returned, but it could not happen. ‘A new large sea lock is being constructed at the entrance of the North Sea Canal at IJmuiden and it will provide access to the Amsterdam port region’. When the sea lock gate from Korea arrived in the Netherlands, it immediately became a ‘space' attached to the place of the Netherlands. Thus, efforts to bring this object back were no longer valid, since the sea lock gate was already transformed into space. Hoping to get support, Geosung created these images in order to inform and to get the sea lock gate back to Korea. The images above are, therefore, attempts to move back this space to where it was originally. What does the sea lock gate in conflict look like? The sea lock gate is not seen from one side anymore; it is hidden by the other side. The photographs included within Geosung’s images [Figure 4, Figure 5] were not taken by Geosung themselves but are available on the internet and taken by Rijkswaterstaat, th​e ​Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management​. ​The actual substance of the sea lock gate is no longer with Geosung, but they have the shadow of it. On the other hand, the Netherlands is actively showing certain images of the sea lock gate, which are different from Geosung’s memory.

  • Geology of the Dutch Coast
    Geology of the Dutch coast The effect of lithological variation on coastal morphodynamics Deltores Title Geology of the Dutch coast Client Project Reference Pages Rijkswaterstaat Water, 1220040-007 1220040-007-ZKS-0003 43 Verkeer en Leefomgeving Keywords Geology, erodibility, long-term evolution, coastal zone Abstract This report provides an overview of the build-up of the subsurface along the Dutch shorelines. The overview can be used to identify areas where the morphological evolution is partly controlled by the presence of erosion-resistant deposits. The report shows that the build-up is heterogeneous and contains several erosion-resistant deposits that could influence both the short- and long-term evolution of these coastal zones and especially tidal channels. The nature of these resistant deposits is very variable, reflecting the diverse geological development of The Netherlands over the last 65 million years. In the southwestern part of The Netherlands they are mostly Tertiary deposits and Holocene peat-clay sequences that are relatively resistant to erosion. Also in South- and North-Holland Holocene peat-clay sequences have been preserved, but in the Rhine-Meuse river-mouth area Late Pleistocene• early Holocene floodplain deposits form additional resistant layers. In northern North-Holland shallow occurrences of clayey Eemian-Weichselian deposits influence coastal evolution. In the northern part of The Netherlands it are mostly Holocene peat-clay sequences, glacial till and over consolidated sand and clay layers that form the resistant deposits. The areas with resistant deposits at relevant depths and position have been outlined in a map. The report also zooms in on a few tidal inlets to quick scan the potential role of the subsurface in their evolution.

Het werd samen met de bijkomende werken als voltooid beschouwd in 1883. Op 31 oktober 1881 werd een overeenkomst gesloten tussen de ‘De Amsterdamsche Kanaal Maatschappij’ (AKM) en de Minister van Waterstaat, Handel en Nijverheid betreffende de overdracht van al de onroerende en roerende goederen met al haar rechten, verplichtingen en lasten aan de Staat. Deze overeenkomst werd geacht 1 januari 1881 in werking te zijn getreden. Nadat in 1883 de maatschappij werd geliquideerd, nam het Rijk alle verplichtingen en rechten over1. Het kanaal was toen al lang open: op 1 november 1876 was het kanaal door Koning Willem III aan boord van het stoomschip ‘Breda’ geopend, al was het nog niet helemaal klaar.

  • Amsterdam Beach
    PRESS FEATURE Amsterdam Beach It’s a surprisingly short distance from Amsterdam to the sea. The nearby coastal towns of Zandvoort, Bloemendaal and IJmuiden, and the rolling dunes in between, will all put you in that delightful beach mood. Strolling, swimming, sunbathing, kite-surfing... whatever your pleasure may be, discover Amsterdam Beach! Zandvoort: historical seaside resort Cosy and lively, Zandvoort is one of the oldest seaside resorts in the Netherlands. For centuries the inhabitants had made their living in the fishing industry, but that all changed in the 19th century. “Sea bathing” was becoming popular in England, and enterprising local physician Dr Mezger was eager to introduce this upper-class activity in Zandvoort as well. Soon the resort started to attract celebrities such as the Austrian Empress Sissi. The 1881 opening of a direct train link between Amsterdam and Zandvoort further ensured a steady stream of tourists. The popularity of Zandvoort grew quickly after the Second World War, and thanks to the easy connection with Amsterdam, many Amsterdammers still visit the resort for a bit of relaxation. Zandvoort is also very popular among German sun-seekers. Nowadays, Zandvoort generates half of its income through tourism. For a glimpse of the rich history of the resort, be sure to visit the Zandvoort Museum. Sun and sea A promenade runs parallel to the 9-kilometre beach, which in some places stretches to around 100 metres wide. The beach mainly draws day visitors. In the high season, more than 30 beach pavilions (catering establishments) open their doors. Most of these establishments are family businesses, and some are open all year round.

  • Publiekssamenvatting Maandanalyse Geurhinder Ijmondregio
    Publiekssamenvatting maandanalyse geurhinder IJmondregio Juni 2020 Introductie De provincie Noord-Holland, Tata Steel en de Omgevingsdienst Noordzeekanaalgebied (ODNZKG) willen beter inzicht krijgen in de geuren en hun bronnen die overlast geven in de IJmondregio. Daarvoor delen de provincie en Tata Steel een deel van hun eNose-netwerk met elkaar om zo meer gegevens te hebben. Met de hiermee verkregen grotere dataset proberen wij te onderzoeken of er een relatie te vinden is tussen de binnengekomen klachten en de signalen van de eNoses. Deze samenwerking is een pilot voor de duur van één jaar. De samenwerking is op 1 mei 2020 ondertekend door de provincie Noord-Holland en Tata Steel. Wat gaan we doen met de kennis? Met de analyses willen we bronnen van geurhinder opsporen en onder welke omstandigheden die tot klachten leiden. Met deze informatie kan gezocht worden naar oplossingen om de hinder te verminderen. Ook willen we monitoren of bepaalde bronnen onevenredig veel klachten veroorzaken. Oplossingen kunnen bijvoorbeeld aanpassingen zijn in de werkwijze van productieprocessen of het tijdelijk staken van werkzaamheden tijdens ongunstige weersomstandigheden. Wat is een eNose? De eNose is een meetinstrument met daarin vier sensoren die veranderingen in de samenstelling van de lucht waarnemen. In veel industriële omgevingen kunnen allerlei (chemische) stoffen in de lucht vrijkomen tijdens reguliere werkzaamheden en bij incidenten. Deze emissies zijn in beeld te brengen door de inzet van eNoses, elektronische neuzen. De eNoses signaleren geen specifieke stoffen, maar veranderingen in de samenstelling van de buitenlucht. Waar bestaat het netwerk uit? Op dit moment heeft het project een eNose-netwerk, bestaande uit 33 vaste eNoses (8 van Tata Steel, 25 van de provincie Noord-Holland), vier windvanen en een weerstation voor het bepalen van windrichting en -snelheid.
