PPP Dealflow PPP in The Netherlands Upcoming Dealflow Projects in the tender phase Schiphol-Amsterdam-Almere Limmel lock A9 Gaasperdammerweg The Juliana canal is an important navigational route Rijkswaterstaat is expanding its network of roads between Limmel (near Maastricht) and Maasbracht. between Schiphol, Amsterdam and Almere. Part of As a result of broadening and deepening of the canal this expansion is the broadening of 63 kilometres larger barges will be able to use this route in the highway. Targets are an improved accessibility of future. In order to give these larger barges access to this economically important area and an improved the Juliana canal the Limmel lock will be replaced by traffic flow.

It was founded in 1959 by the engineer and architect René Greisch and currently has a staff of over 170 across its six companies (beg, bgroup, gi, gce, Neo-Ides and canevas). This large team is always open to collaborative ventures and carries out complex assignments in a wide variety of fields. Through his interest in both architecture and the structural design of buildings, René Greisch instilled in his team the spirit of research and innovation on which its reputation among architects has been built, leading to numerous collaborative ventures with some of the top names. Bureau Greisch also has its own archi- tectural unit (canevas) in order to create an atmosphere where engineers are constantly questioning and searching for new solutions, both formal and technical. This spirit of teamwork and cooperation, a quest for synergy and collaboration, innovation allied to ima- gination, and a questioning and dynamic approach have become the methods and principles by which Bureau Greisch works. René Greisch’s approach is embodied in a desire for perfection, in which a work is constantly refined and polished up to the very last moment.
