March 2012 – The nature area De Waaijer will take shape to the north of Nijmegen in the years to come. It will be a varied green area with water, waterbanks, a beach, playing fields and housing. Sand extraction will be used to create three large lakes in the middle of the area. The outgoing sand/water mixture will go through a grading unit that will split the sand. Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard hot-dip galvanised the fine-sand funnels and loading funnels for the grading unit.

February 2012 – Without electricity, the Netherlands would grind to a halt. Electricity is not only important for our economy; it also keeps our society working as it should. To safeguard energy supplies in the Netherlands, the Oudeschip high-voltage station was opened in Eemshaven in late 2011. This station regulates the supply of electricity from the north to the west of the Netherlands. The tubes for the pylons went through a Duplex system: hot-dip galvanisation by Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard, followed by a special coating.

November 2011 – Bikes with front racks fitted out with a basket or crate for shopping are a hot trend. These bikes are much wider than standard bikes and so they don't fit in the standard bike stands. Bokero is a new adjustable bike suspension system that can accommodate all bikes. It is hot-dip galvanised by Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard so Bokero is an enduring solution for bike parking problems.

October 2011 – Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard has made major investments in its fleet of vehicles. The maximum load capacity of the basic rigs has been increased and the new trailer truck can manage longer lengths. The new trucks also have cranes so that the drivers can unload their cargoes themselves, even at the building site. This means that the trucks can be deployed more flexibly and more efficiently for the transportation of galvanised and powder coated materials on the Duplex Route.

September 2011 – To carry as many passengers or as much freight as possible, airlines use large aircrafts for intercontinental flights. One of the most widely used passenger planes is the Boeing 747-400, and the Boeing 747-8 will also go into service from early 2012 onwards. Manoeuvrable maintenance platforms that can move up and down are used for maintenance work on the engines and wings of these jumbo jets. These maintenance platforms were hot-dip galvanised by Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard.

August 2011 – With its motto, 'We are with you from drawing board to building site', Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard puts project management into practice. Logistics has a large part to play in this respect, certainly when the job in question requires a customized solution. The whole logistical chain could be shattered without the right preparation and timing. The steel framework for a production hall and cowshed at a farm on the island of Ameland were hot-dip galvanized by Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard and delivered on time.
