High-water-resistant camper park on the Waal in Druten

The Challenge

The Municipality of Druten has had a beautiful ferry pavement on the Waal for years - a unique location where the ferry crosses the busy river. This location attracts many visitors who enjoy the nautical panorama with ships passing by day and night. More and more motorhome owners stayed longer in this special place, but without any facilities.

The problem: The site is regularly flooded at high river levels, making traditional power supply impossible.

The Solution: Innovative High-Water Resistant Installation

In collaboration with the local installer, Seijsener developed a unique solution for this challenging location. The result is a fully functional motorhome park that can withstand regular flooding.

Technical Innovation

5 pieces of 4.5 meter high aluminum Pacific columns

• The base of the installation always remains safe at a height of 4.5 meters
• Demountable Pacific connection boxes with 6 sockets each
• Can be removed quickly and safely in the event of a flood alarm
• Sleek and elegant design thanks to internal cable routing

Complete motorhome facilities

• 30 fully-fledged motorhome parks
• Water tap for drinking water
• Landfill for cassette toilets
• Recreational jetty with power connections
• Future integration with AanUit.net payment system

Why This Solution Is Unique

1. ‍Climate adaptive design: This installation is the first in the Netherlands specifically designed for locations with frequent flooding. The modular design ensures that the provisions can be removed quickly, while the base remains intact.‍
2. Aesthetic integration: Despite the technical complexity, the installation has a sleek, elegant appearance that matches the natural environment of the Waal.‍
3. Operational efficiency: The system is designed for minimal maintenance and maximum availability, with rapid dismantling when needed.
