Sliding techniques

Civiele technieken deBoer has been adept at successfully applying sliding techniques for a variety of relocation issues for decades. Thanks to our advanced sliding systems, we move each object with extreme precision, step by step, to the desired location.

The power of deBoer

Our sliding techniques

Hydraulic equipment

Enormous forces must be developed to move large masses. We have unique, self-developed press cylinders, sliding systems, hydraulic power units, sliding tracks in all shapes and sizes, lifting systems and all the associated equipment. Strength must be used thoughtfully.

Extremely accurate

With the help of our latest generation of measuring systems, we achieve the desired displacement with high accuracy. By using advanced equipment and computer-controlled systems, we execute our projects with the greatest possible precision.

Minimize disruption

We apply our methods to prevent as much disruption as possible during the realization of projects, while also taking the environment into account. In this way, we execute assignments with minimal disruption to infrastructure, mobility and daily life.

That's why deBoer

Both large and small sliding operations

At deBoer we have been moving bridges, tunnels and buildings for over 40 years, regardless of the size of the project. Whether it concerns small-scale or large-scale relocation issues, at deBoer you have come to the right place.

  • Infrastructure: Sliding techniques are mainly used to greatly reduce disruption during the construction of crossing infrastructure. This technique is often used in railways and motorways in particular. This technique can also provide an excellent solution for building bridges over waterways. We call this 'launching': shifting in the longitudinal axis.
  • Buildings: It is less common, but buildings are also moved. Often it concerns monumental objects that must be preserved in their current state. A mill, a medieval tower, a chimney, a complete museum building: we have seen all kinds of things. Each building requires a specific consideration: no building is the same. There are various methods conceivable and much is possible.
  • In addition to bridges, tunnels and buildings, many more objects can be moved. For example, tunnel boring machines, statues, installations and even trees. Sometimes places cannot be reached with cranes and moving them with our techniques is a good solution. deBoer provides you with the right advice.
