Piping

Construction of new dike under the Room for the River initiative, taking into account piping.

MIP is a soil improvement technique whereby soil is mixed with a binding agent, such as cement. This technique can be used to install seep screens near the Pleij dike to prevent the dike from collapsing as a result of fast-flowing water containing soil particles under the dike.

• This solution makes clay unnecessary and requires fewer cadastral land purchases, which makes it a cheaper solution compared to traditional methods.
