📋 Tender Overview
The High Frequency Rail Transport Programme Den Bosch Vught is aimed at adapting the track to allow more passenger and freight trains to run. Part of the project is the construction of a partially deepened track in Vught. Before we can start construction we carry out a number of preparatory work. One of these activities is the installation of hedges for house sparrows.Why do we do this workIt is necessary to cut down a number of trees on the west side of the track in preparation for the construction work. To prevent this from having a detrimental effect on the habitat of house sparrows we provide alternative greenery where the house sparrows can safely find shelter. We do this by planting mature Laurel hedges of three meters high at various locations.We supplement these hedges with various other plants such as firethorn hawthorn and ivy. This planting meets the requirements included in the exemption to the Nature Conservation Act. We do this under the guidance of an ecologist who ensures that everything is done properly.Overview of our activitiesWe started this work at the beginning of May. First laurel hedges were placed in the backyards of a number of homes owned by ProRail. From 10 May laurel hedges will be placed at a number of public locations on Aert Heymlaan and Van Miertstraat.The environment does not notice much of this work but may have a view of it. Employees of a landscaping company take care of the planting. The work does not lead to nuisance or road closures.
