Observed morphological development of Hondsbossche Dunes 10 years after Svašek’s predictions
Svašek Hydraulics has been involved in the design of the Hondsbossche Dunes, a reinforcement of the Hondsbossche and Pettermer sea defence. As part of the tender team of Van Oord and Boskalis, Svašek has made morphological predictions of the evolution of this large scale nourishment. Now, several years after the construction of the Hondsbossche Dunes […]
Combination Sweco-Svašek is working on dyke and dune reinforcement Schiermonnikoog
*** Article in Dutch *** Om ervoor te zorgen dat we in Nederland de gevolgen van klimaatverandering het hoofd kunnen bieden, worden onze dijken en duinen getoetst op veiligheid. Zo ook de dijk en duinen van Schiermonnikoog. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat zowel de zeedijk, als een deel van het duintracé, toe zijn aan versterking. Om […]
New discharge data Rhine branches – based on new Qf relations set up by Svašek-Boorsma – implemented in national operational water database (Landelijk Meetnet Water)
Discharges of all five of the major Dutch Rhine branches (Bovenrijn, Waal, Pannerdensch Kanaal, IJssel and occasionally Nederrijn) are not continuously measured, but are instead derived from water levels via so called Qf relations. In principle Qf relations are Qh relations: there is a discharge (Q) for each measured water level (h). Reality is – […]
Floris de Wit joins the Svašek team

Subsequently, he started a PhD at the same university (expected defense in 2021), focussing on predicting and modelling the nonlinear wave shape in complex coastal systems with the eventual goal […]
Yannick Steenman joins the Svašek team
As per the first of April 2021, Yannick joins the Svašek Hydraulics team. Yannick graduated from the Delft University of Technology in November 2020 with the specializations Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Coastal Engineering. His Msc-Thesis focused on the numerical modelling of shallow jet flows in 2DH and 3D settings.
Inauguration Qrejten breakwater, Marsaxlokk, Malta
In the past the fishing port of Marsaxlokk regularly experienced damage to anchored vessels and onshore equipment due to high wave conditions. To improve the wave conditions in the port a breakwater in front of the port entrance at Qrejten Point was built in 2020. Svašek Hydraulics has been closely involved in the preparation and […]
Rainfall-runoff system Fenix-II warehouse, Rotterdam
Initiated by Stichting Droom en Daad, the Fenix-II Warehouse (Katendrecht, Rotterdam) is renovated and re-developed into FENIX. The first floor will contain the new FENIX Migration Museum and the ground floor will provide a mix of creative, culinary and cultural activities. The former warehouse of the Holland-Amerika Line (HAL) is of great historic value for […]
Nature restoration measures Bath, Western Scheldt, almost ready!
In recent years, Svašek Hydraulics has on regular basis performed studies in the context of several nature restoration projects in the Western Scheldt, in which valuable nature is created in areas with previous low nature value. In these projects, Svašek Hydraulics has been closely involved in the design process of the measures taken and has […]
