greenSand olivijn Case Study


greenSand Inspection Path

Project: The Hoekse Lijn
Client: Vossloh ETS
Application: Along the 24 km long railway line between Rotterdam and Hoek van Holland, RET decided to use olivine as an inspection path, which is the self-binding gravel next to the ballast. Olivine prevents weeds from growing into the ballast resulting in less maintanance

Product: Olivine chippings (2-6 mm)
Permanent CO2 removal: 150 tons of CO2


greenSand Sport Fields

Project: Teteringen football field
Client: Antea Group Sport
Application: The municipality of Breda decided on 150 tons of greenSand olivine chippings as material for a stable and water-permeable substructure for the artificial turf. The climate-positive olivine construction has been approved by the KIWA as a substructure material for artificial turf pitches.

Permanent CO2 removal: 150 tons of CO2


greenSand Urban City

Project: The "Urban Oasis"
Client: Nico Wissing & Bob Ursem
Application: For a prototype of a sustainable city park that is full of innovative technologies, the team of landscape designers and scientists decided to use greenSand's decorative aggreates. This creates a stable subsurface, which at the same time reduces the CO2 content of the air.
