Atlantikwall-Museum-Noordwijk
Company Haasnoot Bruggen started with the construction of a roof for the fire control bunker. This was not equipped with a roof during the war. However, this causes flooding during rain. That is why it was decided to place a steel roof on the bunker in original design.
Painting the interior of the fire control post is a big job for the volunteers, which also requires a lot of paint. Sikkens has provided paint for this free of charge, for which the Foundation is very grateful to them.
Smoke detectors and emergency exit signage were installed in the S414 in January. Implementation by Hoogervorst Elektrotechniek with subsidy from the province of Zuid-Holland.
In December, the beds in the fire control post, thanks to the sewing of Joke Heus, are provided with bedding.
In July concrete slabs were supplied for the restoration of the collapsed parts of the corridors north of the fire control post.
The plates are placed at the location of sagged metal grids in the main corridor. With this the system is connected again so that the sand from the northern corridor can be safely removed.
For many years we had flooding in the bunker after heavy rain showers. In June, the front of the fire control post was taken care of. The exterior of the S414 is covered with sponsored roofing. We hope that the fluid nuisance in the fire control post is now a thing of the past.
In April the ceilings of the S414 were blasted by firm Huisman B.V. After this the ceiling could be painted. This makes the rusty ceilings neatly white.
In the war, the Germans had placed a generator in the fire control post to generate electricity if the power from the Noordwijk electricity grid failed. In March, the aggregate was placed in the fire control post S414.
The sleeping quarters on the ground floor of the fire control post are now furnished.
The audit center of the fire control post is further organized.
Preparatory work was also carried out to place the generator in the original room of the fire control post.
A metal door has been placed in the hallway from the fire control post.
Attention has been paid to the design of the fire control post. For example, two gas filter installations have been installed.
