Global evolutions like climate change, soil pollution or the rising sea level threaten our quality of life. We have the ambition to improve this for the next generations, tackling some of the greatest challenges of our time. We engineer solutions that future-proof our world, from the rising sea level to the energy transition, from polluted soil to sustainable living.

Many seaports are no longer equipped to welcome the ever-larger vessels sailing our oceans and seas. Or economic activity has changed in such a way that expansions are due. This is where we come in.

Continuous sedimentation and the increasing size of ships forces authorities to keep a constant eye on its rivers and port access channels. We maintain, deepen or widen waterways, relying on an industry-leading fleet of trailing suction hopper dredgers, cutter

With our versatile fleet of offshore installation vessels, we install any type of offshore structure. From concrete or steel foundations to offshore high-voltage stations and wind turbines. With overall solutions and environmentally responsible methods, we always meet the client's needs – no matter where they are located. You can also rely on us for dismantling offshore structures. suction dredgers, split hopper barges and backhoe dredgers. If the dredged soil is contaminated, we can clean up the sediments ourselves.
