Our Projects
Project Development
Terzol Heavy Equipment has given her assistance in numerous developing projects in Suriname. We’ve taken on plots that at first were considered low laying swamp areas or historical dump yards and transformed them into ready-to-build-on prestigious high grounds.
Our team has deforested, cleaned and backfilled different kinds of plots of land. In allotments, we assist project developers in achieving their goals within the best time frame and cost-efficient way. The services we offer project developers are:
- Deforestation of the plot of land
- Disposal of the material in the most environmentally friendly way
- Transport
- Backfilling of the plot
- Preparation of the land for the construction of roads, electricity and water pipes
- Construction of entrances
- Excavation of waterways for the best water management of the project
- Widening, deepening and cleaning of existing waterways
- Mining of sand, shells etc. to be used for the raising of the land
- Cleaning of contaminated swamps, lagoons etc. and disposal of the materials
- Excavation for foundations
- Re-filling of foundations
The effects of human-caused global warming are happening now, are irreversible on the timescale of people alive today, and will worsen in the decades to come. We already see effects scientists predicted, such as the loss of sea ice, melting glaciers and ice sheets, sea level rise, and more intense heat waves. Scientists predict global temperature increases from human-made greenhouse gases will continue. Severe weather damage will also increase and intensify.
That is why it is important that we protect our land against flooding, now and in the future. Terzol Heavy Equipment does this together with other water managers.
Water Management
Terzol Heavy Equipment has taken on many projects regarding water management. Our focus is on the areas of flood risk management and quantity. Specifically, this concerns tasks such as:
- Building dams, dikes, canals and water locks in order to protect and maintain the coastline. The dikes and dams were built and canalized to keep the water in the designated places. We built water locks that are independent of water lock keepers.
- Reclaiming pieces of land that were previously seen as low laying swamp areas and ensuring that the land ran dry by means of drainage canals.
- Carrying out construction projects. Examples of this are the flood protection projects of Morgenstond and Weg naar Zee, Terzol Heavy Equipment was responsible for management, maintenance and construction in these projects.
- Water quantity. We bring and maintain the coherence between the regional water system and the main water system. This will combat both flooding and water shortage.
Sand mining
Sand mining is the extraction of sand, mainly through an open pit (or sand pit) but sometimes mined from beaches and inland dunes or dredged from ocean and riverbeds. Sand mining and dredging is critical to infrastructure development around the globe. It is used extensively in construction and is also used in the manufacturing of abrasives and concrete. It is also needed to fill up plots of land to prepare for construction etc.
Our team has the experience to assist you in mining your sandpit accordingly and in an environmentally friendly way. We’ve coordinated, planned and
