Prince Hendrik Sand Dyke Project

Construction all-risk coverage to support the restoration of the Prince Hendrick sand dyke that protects a unique ecosystem on the Island of Texel in the Netherlands – a World Heritage Site. The project aims to prevent a major failure of the dyke due to rising sea levels, while simultaneously improving biodiversity and protecting the local community, which benefits from physical protection afforded by the dyke and income from tourism and fishing.
