Last week our client started building the foundation for his new house. At the same time, we started production in our factory, 2000 kilometers away.

This is just before sunrise, concrete foundation poles ready to be drilled in the soft Dutch earth. Without these poles the house would slowly disappear into the polder mud.

These poles are only 8 meters long, but less than 500 meters away we have seen 24-meter poles. Wow…
A special machine hammers the poles into the ground, right until the first solid sand layer.
