In this report, a proposal for a sustainable last mile is given. Inner city logistics brings many problems with it regarding livability in the city; polluting vans standing in the way on the road or the sidewalk and driving too fast because of high demands of the consumer and competitive nature of carriers. Unsustainable practices are being...

Rijkswaterstaat aims to build circularly from 2030 onward, with the purpose of having a fully circular economy by 2050. Therefore, the aim of this study is to design a reusable modular superstructure, with a small span, which can replace an existing so-called volstortligger superstructure. This is a structure that Dura Vermeer often uses and it...

The buildings construction industry is demanded to reduce its ecological footprint to mitigate its contribution to climate change. In this context, a novel sustainable design strategy for the reuse of timber was developed in this Master thesis. The design strategy focuses on the utilization of the material “reclaimed timber” (RT) in the...

The Autonomous Low Energy Replenishment Dredger (ALERD) strives to revolutionize the dredging world. The ALERD operates autonomously underwater, which saves energy during the dredging process and transit. Autonomous underwater operation drives the need of alternative energy facilities. However, due to the energy savings of dredging, alternative...
