Bosman Watermanagement acted as the main contractor for the complete renovation of Pumping Station Oosterpolder in the municipality of Hoorn, commissioned by the Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier. With the support of civil subcontractor Beentjes GWW and several technical partners, the pumping station was fully modernised, while one pumping unit remained operational throughout the renovation works.
A key element of the renovation was the installation of a fish-friendly Vision MC pump. This pump had a design capacity of 130 m³ per minute, providing more than enough capability to maintain a stable water level in the Oosterpolder. Thanks to the innovative Vision hydraulics, the pump capacity could be adjusted flexibly, ensuring consistent water levels under varying conditions.
The new pump installation was placed in a submerged pump cellar, where it remains continuously filled with water. As a result, no vacuum installation was required for start‑up, significantly reducing the risk of malfunctions and lowering maintenance needs. The former pumps were positioned above the waterline and needed to be vacuum‑primed before operation, a process completely eliminated by the new design.
In addition to installing the new pump, several structural and mechanical works were carried out, including:
Ready for the future
With these extensive upgrades, Pumping Station Oosterpolder has been fully prepared for the future, equipped with a reliable, efficient and fish‑friendly pumping solution for water management in the Hoorn region.
