2Civil Engineering and Geosciences
Mission
An international leading position in education and research in the fields of delta technology, watertechnology, mobility, construction and geo-energy
Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences
3Civil Engineering and Geosciences
Our challenges
• Safety risks - delta• Water supply• Mobility• Energy• Sustainable built environment• Climate change
bigger than ever
4Civil Engineering and Geosciences
The Netherlands• Flat low delta, precarious location,
best flood control system in the world.
Several Dutch companies are involved in
waterprojects. Conservation projects and land
reclamation throughout the world
• Lowest altitude: 6.74 meter below sea level
(near Rotterdam)
• Highest altitude: 323 meter (near Maastricht)
• Two main porst: airport Schiphol (the
fourth largest airport in Europe) and
seaport Rotterdam (the largest seaport in Europe)
