HVS Oost - Wegastraat

Construction of a 23kV high voltage cable

The project entails the construction of a 23 kV high voltage cable between the stations HVS Oost and Wegastraat in the Hague.

This connection was executed with a HDD with on either side a part with open trench construction. The routing study and engineering was quite a challenge because of the existing railway shunting yard and several public and private grounds that had to be crossed. The redevelopment of area "Binckhorst" by the city was also taken into consideration.

Eventually an option was chosen, in agreement with the rail provider, where the shunting yard would be crossed not perpendicular but under an angle and the open trench parts were located in parking lanes where possible.
