Can dredged material protect our rivers? Through the Bankbusters project, we showed it is possible: by blending dredged sediments with willow and rock, we created thriving nature-based solutions to protect riverbanks.
The result: stronger ecosystems, more biodiversity, and a natural shield against flooding and climate change.
Bankbusters is a collaboration of Jan De Nul with DEME Group, iFLUX, Universiteit Antwerpen Universiteit Gent
Facilitated by De Blauwe Cluster (Blue Cluster) and supported by VLAIO
