	Urban Transport Technology - Westerschelde Tunnel Construction - Netherlands
		The only two areas that are still unconnected are Zeeuwsch-Vlaanderen and Zuid-Beveland, separated by the Westerschelde, the port entrance to Antwerp.
		With an estimated cost (excluding tax) of €726 million (Guilders 1.6 billion), the Westerschelde Tunnel is important in that it is the first engineering structure designed in a fundamentally correct way on the basis of an expected service life of 100 years.
		The KMW (Kombinatie Middelplaat Westerschelde) partnership are to design, construct and maintain the tunnel for the first ten years of operation.

	Road Traffic Technology - Westerschelde Tunnel - Netherlands
		The solution to this is the Westerschelde Tunnel: an undersea highway tunnel, 6.6km long, consisting of two tunnel tubes, each with two lanes (3.5m each), with 26 cross passages every 250m.
		KMW (Kombinatie Middelplaat Westerschelde v.o.f consisting of Philipp Holzmann, Wayss and Freitag, Franki, BAM Infrabouw, Heijmans and Voormolen) have been awarded the contract for the design, construction and maintenance for the tunnel for the first ten years of operation, by NV Westerschelde Tunnel.
		The cross passages are vital to the safety of the Westerschelde Tunnel.

	THE LONGEST ROAD TUNNEL IN THE NETHERLANDS: THE WESTERSCHELDE TUNNEL
		The Westerschelde Tunnel is a bored tunnel with a length of 6.6 kilometres.
		A bored tunnel does not have the disadvantages of a bridge (limited clearance for shipping) or a traditional, submerged tunnel (anchors may damage the tunnel), and it is the cheapest solution.
		The Westerschelde Tunnel is the first time for the freezing technique to be used on such a large scale.

		The Westerschelde Container Terminal is planned to be constructed next to the tidal channel Honte in the Westerschelde near Vlissingen.
		In the first stage (1) the quay and the foundation bed are detached from the Westerschelde bank.
		The Slowest model of RIKZ, which is calibrated to measurement stations in the Westerschelde, is adapted in order to compute flow and the turbulent kinetic energy over the foundation bed.

	4 - The Westerschelde tunnel a long short cut
		The Westerschelde is a body of water that separates, and isolates, Zeeland Flanders from the remaining province of Zeeland.
		At the moment a trip on a ferry, or a long road journey via Antwerp are the only ways of moving between the two parts of the province.
		The road tunnel currently being constructed under the Westerschelde is unique in Western Europe, due to the combination of length, depth, diameter and the fact that it is constructed in soft soil.

		Twaite shad is a migratory fish that went extinct in the Netherlands in the early 20
		But thanks to an improvement in the water quality, twaite shad are once again swimming in the Westerschelde.
		Twaite shad has been recorded again in the Schelde since the 1990s, as can be seen from the data on catches made with a hoop net in the Westerschelde near Bath and in the cooling water from the Doel nuclear power station (see graph).

	Westerschelde - ACME
		The first ACME sea trials took place on the Westerschelde in the South-west of The Netherlands, in June 2001.
		The Westerschelde is a densely shipped sea arm that serves as the gateway for cargo ships sailing to the port of Antwerp, Belgium.
		As a first step towards a wireless communication network that conveys ADCP (current) data from the shipping lane ashore, point to point communication experiments were carried out.

		To determine characteristics of the environment in the Westerschelde shipping lane, that define the limiting factors for an Underwater Acoustic Communication link (noise spectra, frequency and time spreading).
		To collect an environmental data set (sound speed profiles, bathymetry, sediment properties) to be able to use software for acoustic propagation prediction in a later stage of the project.
		To test and evaluate the whole prototype network in a configuration defined to meet end-users needs, which means under realistic conditions (use of real sensors and of a radio dispatching system, noise environment, shipping activity) during a long period (several weeks).

	KUNSTRADIO - RADIOKUNST, 18. April 2004
		‘Zwanenzang op de Westerschelde’ (Chant du Cygne sur le Westerschelde) is a radiophonic composition based entirely on a mix of the sounds of 4 ferry-boats (Prinses Christina, Prins Willem Alexander, Prinses Juliana and Prins Johan Friso).
		‘Zwanenzang op de Westerschelde’ (Chant du Cygne sur le Westerschelde) is a "voyage sonore" and a radiophonic homage to the beauty and variety of sounds, that could be heard on these ferry-boats during a crossing.
		The 3 poetic texts used in the composition (a poem from Ida Gerhard, a text from Phons Bakx and a text based on parts of Herman Hesse’s novel Siddhartha), give an abstract textual colour to the entire soundscape.

	Bambooweb: Scheldt
		Originally there were two branches from that point: the Oosterschelde (Eastern Scheldt) and the Westerschelde (Western Scheldt) but the river was cut off from its eastern (actually: northern) branch by a dike that connects Zuid-Beveland with the mainland (North Brabant).
		Today the river therefore continues into the Westerschelde estuary only, passing Terneuzen to reach the North Sea between Cadzand in Zeeuws Vlaanderen and Vlissingen on Walcheren.
		The Scheldt estuary has always had considerable commercial and strategic importance.

	Work Continuity In A Real-Life Schedule: The Westerschelde Tunnel
		However, there is still room for improvement by incorporating specific characteristics into the scheduling procedures.
		In this paper we describe the scheduling of a real-life project that aims at the construction of a tunnel at the Westerschelde in the Netherlands.
		In doing so, we show that so-called work continuity is the main issue during the scheduling phase.

		Bernard Montgomery's Operation Market Garden, an offense designed to open Antwerp, cross the Rhine and bypass the Siegfried Line was unsuccessful in October, and left the allies in little better position than before.
		In November the Canadian First Army did get enough supplies to move forward, clearing the Westerschelde by taking Walcheren and opening the huge ports of Antwerp to shipping.
		It is arguable that this action was considerably more important than Market-Garden, but the Canadian forces had little "pull" compared to Montgomery and George Patton.

		Three salt marshes on a 50-km transect along the north bank of the Westerschelde Estuary were investigated to determine whether salt marshes in the estuary had responded to shipping channel modifications in recent decades.
		This may be related to a combination of channel deepening and straightening operations undertaken in the mid-1970s and/or natural changes in winter wave climate.
