A consortium comprising BAM Infra Nederland and TBI companies Croonwolter&dros and Mobilis has secured a multiyear maintenance contract from Westerscheldetunnel, the entity operating the Westerschelde tunnel and Sluiskil tunnel, for the Sluiskil tunnel in Zeeland, the Netherlands.

The Sluiskil tunnel maintenance contract is effective from May 2025. It spans from 23 May until 13 March 2033.

Under the contract, the consortium will be responsible for routine maintenance and critical end-of-life replacements to ensure the tunnel’s safety and accessibility.

The Sluiskil tunnel, a link between Ghent and Terneuzen, is seen as vital for the regional economy, enhancing access for local businesses and residents.

The winning bid from the BAM/TBI consortium includes sustainable initiatives such as the use of low energy asphalt concrete and material recycling.

This contract marks the continuation of a successful partnership, as BAM and TBI have been managing the Sluiskil tunnel’s maintenance since its inauguration in 2015.
