Dutch Bridge construction kit to be shipped to Colombia
A construction kit version of our Dutch Bridge standard movable bridge is currently being put together. Sometime this year it will be shipped to Colombia where it will be assembled. All steel elements of the movable bridge fit into three shipping containers.
contractor selected for railway underpass
A contractor has been selected for the Heerhugowaard railway underpass Zuidtangent. Hegeman Bouw & Infra will team up with Mobilis to build the new underpass. Construction is set to start soon.
new download: bridge construction cost reference book
Are you curious to find out how much it costs to construct a bridge? We’ve gathered construction cost data for 70 of our bridges and put them in a handy reference book, by category and in ascending order of cost.

landmark movable bridge completed
The iconic Michiel de Ruyter Bridge has been completed! This movable bridge has many faces and will in future be the main entrance to the Zeeheldenwijk housing development in the Dutch village of Urk. When opened, tower and counterweight resemble the shape of a netting needle, which refers to the main characteristic of the fishing village.
design study for replacement of 40+ Belgian bridges
The Flemish government selected around 40 bridges that they want to have replaced by 2030. A consortium of Arcadis, SBE and Tractebel was recently commissioned to prepare this large-scale replacement operation. The consortium has asked ipv Delft to help them create a manual outlining the desired design quality for the new bridges.

new download: the Dutch Bridge brochure
We recently posted a new download: a brochure dedicated to our system of standardised movable bridges, The Dutch Bridge. This all-in-one solution for well-designed movable bridges significantly simplifies and speeds up both the initiation and building process, reducing building time and building costs.
latest brochure: feasibility studies
If you are interested in feasibility and/or design studies, then our latest publication might be what you are looking for: the feasibility and design studies brochure. It features several project for which we have performed such a study or quick-scan and tells you more about what to expect.
European Steel Desgin Award for Zwolle public transport bridge
The Zwolle public transport bridge has been awarded the Special Bridge Award at the European Steel Design Awards 2021! It is the fourth award this project has received, and for ipv Delft it’s the cherry on top of our 25-year anniversary cake. The ESDA’s are given by the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (ECCS) every two years to encourage the creative and outstanding use of steel in architecture.
