In the spring of 2022, the Municipal Executive commissioned a project to bury the high-voltage power lines in De Maten. National grid operator TenneT has drawn up a basic design. The new underground high-voltage power line will follow the existing route of the overhead high-voltage power lines almost entirely. Once the cables have been laid and the new connection has been commissioned, the overhead high-voltage power lines and pylons will be removed and demolished.<\/p>\n

An extraordinary discovery<\/h3>\n

During the archaeological excavation at the IJsseldijk, a remarkable discovery was made: the remains of a main building with an annex. No artefacts or other finds have been uncovered that directly indicate the period to which the buildings date. Samples are therefore being analysed to determine the age of the remains. In doing so, we are examining, for example, any traces of seeds and charcoal that may be found in the samples. Based on their initial observations, the archaeologists suspect that the remains date from the Bronze Age.<\/p>\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n

De Maten: Neighbourhood of the Future<\/h2>\r\n

But there\u2019s more to come in the neighbourhood over the next few years! We\u2019re set to work on De Maten as one of the \u2018Neighbourhoods of the Future\u2019. We\u2019re looking at how the neighbourhood can make the transition to sustainable heating. This transition, together with the undergrounding of the high-voltage power lines, is important for the vitality of De Maten.<\/p>\n

The project consists of four phases:<\/h2>\r\n
    \n
  1. Feasibility study phase:<\/strong> The feasibility study has been completed. TenneT has investigated whether the high-voltage power lines can be laid underground and has selected a suitable route.<\/li>\n
  2. Basic design phase:<\/strong> The basic design was then drawn up. The chosen plan was developed in technical detail and assessed. It is now clear where the cables will be laid underground.<\/li>\n
  3. Detailed design phase:<\/strong> The project is currently at this stage. TenneT is finalising the route for the underground cables. The design is now detailed enough to reach agreements with landowners and users, apply for planning permission and amend the local development plan. We are also continuing to prepare for the works.<\/li>\n
  4. Implementation phase:<\/strong> At this stage, we award the contract to a contractor and suppliers. Work can then begin. The cables are laid underground by trenching or drilling. Once the cables are in place, they are connected to a manhole or a substation. Once the underground connection has been thoroughly tested, it is put into service. The old overhead connection is then removed. This phase takes approximately 24 months.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
