Roof S414

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.

At the company Haasnoot Bruggen they are busy with the construction of the roof for the fire control station S414.

Paint

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.

Paint cans donated by Sikkens.

Bed linen

In December, the beds in the fire control post, thanks to the sewing of Joke Heus, are provided with bedding.

Delivery of concrete slabs

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.

Work outside S414

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.

Rays S414

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.

Company Huisman bv has made materials available to sand the ceiling of the fire control post.

Gebr. v.d. Putten has provided a container to remove the remains of the sandblasting.

Places aggregate

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.

Thanks to the cooperation of Gebr. v.d. Wells the aggregate is brought to the S414.
The generator is hoisted down.
