Het onderhoud van de bestortingen langs de havenhoofden te IJmuiden

Korte historie van de bouw van de golfbrekers van IJmuiden, overzicht van de onderhoudsproblemen in de dertiger jaren van de 20e eeuw en een oplossing voor de vervanging van de betonblokken door in-situ gestorte elementen in flexibele "bekistingen" (zakken van zeildoek), hetgeen tot een aanzienlijke kostenbesparing in het onderhoud moet leiden.
