Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands will on 11 July give the official starting signal for the closure of the seawall of Maasvlakte 2. The operation will permanently change the outline of the Netherlands. The Rotterdam port will increase 20 percent in size and the Dutch coastline will move about 3.5 kilometres further out into the North Sea. The total length of the Maasvlakte 2 seawall is 11 kilometers.

The Maasvlakte 2 project is an extension of the port of Rotterdam, which will see the construction of a new port and supporting infrastructure on about 2,000 hectares of reclaimed land next to the existing Maasvlakte, an earlier extension of the Netherlands' biggest port.

Since 2006 Svašek Hydraulics is involved in the design process and construction aspects of Maasvlakte 2.

On April 18th, a unique run has been organised at Maasvlakte 2 (the expansion of the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands) for the companies part of PUMA. Early April, the so-called compartment dam has been closed. This dam closes off the Prinses Alexiahaven, in order to temporarily decrease the water surface area of Maasvlakte 2, to simplify the closure of gap in the seawall in July. In October 2012, the compartment dam will be removed.

The run took place on a 7 km track around the entire Prinses Alexiahaven, thereby crossing the temporarily compartment dam, and on a 3.5 km track along part of the Prinses Alexiahaven. Svašek Hydraulics was represented by four employees on the 7 km run, and gained the first place, and besides the first women to cross the finish. On the 3.5 km run, Svašek Hydraulics was represented by one employee, who gained the second place.

Since 2006 Svašek Hydraulics is part of the PUMA and is involved in the design process and construction aspects of Maasvlakte 2.
