Due to growing power consumption and the energy transition, installation of high-voltage underground cables (HVUC) is becoming increasingly crucial for increasing transmission capacity while minimising societal and environmental disruption. This thesis, completed in a professional setting at Witteveen+Bos, …

Shared Service Centers (SSCs) and Global Business Services (GBS) organizations are evolving from transactional, cost-focused units into strategic partners that deliver value through digitalization, analytics, regulatory compliance, and business partnering. Within this context, Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) has …

Daskan Inc. manages a diverse portfolio of engineering projects and faces a recurring challenge inaccurately estimating the engineering effort required and understanding differences in project workload and difficulty at the early stage of a project. Currently, these estimations rely heavily on expert …

This thesis introduces a cost-effective methodology for estimating tire contact patch forces and moments at wheel centre using axial force measurements from suspension linkages. The primary aim is to reconstruct these dynamic quantities, eliminating reliance on expensive wheel force transducers (WFTs) …

This research has proved that the implementation of a Modular Connection System (MCS1) for the “WET CELL” project is not only possible but also promising, as it successfully demonstrates how modularity, circularity, and material reusability can be achieved through the optimal design and material selection. …

Throughout this thesis, a competitive durable reinforcement design for the Mastenbroek-IJssel reinforcement project is developed and modeled. In 2024 the Drents Overijsselse Delta Water Board began with the exploration phase of the Mastenbroek-IJssel reinforcement project as 10.8 km of the IJssel dike …

The study conducted in this report was carried out at TGW Ibérica as part of a graduation internship, with the goal to improve the palletization process in the outbound area of "Client A," one of the world’s largest textile companies. The current situation of a client's palletizing process is that it …

This report offers a comprehensive research rationale for a transition from a manual, Excel-based Quality Management System (QMS) to an automated, web-based one called Bizzmine, at De Ruyter Training & Consultancy. The research aims at key operational inefficiencies, including data integrity problems, …

This thesis focuses on optimizing the structural design and cost efficiency of an industrial electrical room for a large-scale data center located in Eemshaven, Netherlands. The industrial hall is designed to accommodate a 5-ton gantry crane integral to the installation and maintenance of heavy electrical …

This thesis centres on the Railway Viaduct at Kloetinge (Zeeland), a critical infrastructure element in operation since 1938. As of 2024, with its technical lifespan nearing its end at 86 years, the viaduct's longevity demands attention for its future viability. Situated on Viaduct Road, linking Kloetinge …
