The Sand Motor and Argus mast - a photo on Flickriver

            The Sand Motor is an artificial peninsula made of no less than 21.5 million m3 of sea sand. Under the influence of wind, waves and currents, the beach sand gradually spreads along the coast. This gigantic sandbox thus contributes naturally to our coastal maintenance.

The Sand Motor was constructed off the coast of Ter Heijde and Kijkduin in 2011. It is a large artificial sandbank in the shape of a peninsula. Ocean currents, wind and waves have been given free rein to spread the sand along the Delfland coast between Hoek van Holland and Scheveningen. The Sand Motor is important as a driver for innovative coastal maintenance. Dozens of researchers from various universities and knowledge institutes have been closely following the development of the Sand Motor since its construction.

The 40 m high Argus mast has 8 camera's for monitoring the changes of the Sand Motor. The mast is named after the mythological greek giant with 100 eyes.
