Construction and infrastructure services group, Dura Vermeer is responsible for part of the dismantling of the Rotterdam company Aluchemie on the Oude Maasweg.
On 6 July project director at Aluchemie, Geir Arne Nilsen and directors at Dura Vermeer, Monica Melis and Henk-Jan Slager signed the construction contract for the work.
In February 2021, the production company Aluchemie, in Rotterdam, Netherlands announced that it would stop production activities as of 1 January 2022.
Dura Vermeer is responsible for the removal of underground infrastructure and soil remediation work on the site.
Slager says: ‘By combining the expertise and experience of two Dura Vermeer operating companies, this location will remain suitable for the future as a widely applicable business location.’
‘The Aluchemie project symbolises the core values for which we as Dura Vermeer stand. Through collaboration, expertise and involvement, we give this location a sustainable future,’ adds Melis.
The work is expected to start in October 2023. The operation should be completed by mid-2025. A small team of Aluchemie employees will continue to work to manage the dismantling in collaboration with Dura Vermeer.
