Tens of thousands of houses in the
province of Groningen have to be strengthened in order to make them
earthquake-proof. The quakes in the
province, caused by the extraction of gas, are becoming stronger and
stronger. Engineers estimate that at
least 30,000 houses, and possibly even 90,000, will have to be reinforced. It is estimated that the total cost of these
renovations will be 6.5 billion euros.
It may mean that the inhabitants will have to leave their homes for a
certain time. This is written in a
secret government report which the daily Telegraaf has uncovered.
