SBE is one of the largest independent engineering consultancies in Belgium. A team of 160 colleagues, scattered over 4 offices in Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain, works on the design of civil structures such as bridges, tunnels, quay walls, navigational locks and dikes. As specialized consultants we are the ‘special forces’ of civil engineering since we only take action for very complex projects. We are also a family business which translates into a friendly work-environment, short communication lines and a flat and agile organisational structure.
Family business Van den Herik is a hydraulic engineer through and through. The passion for working with water originated in 1946. The company has since grown into a multidisciplinary company with around 200 employees, strong in both hydraulic engineering projects and the detection of conventional explosives. Van den Herik is versatile, has a social and sustainable approach and is innovative.
Together with our independent sister companies, we are building a future that is liveable, accessible and safe for the people who live there. Engineering the future of water.
We provide dry feet and plenty of clean water. We do this by making and maintaining strong dikes, keeping the water level, ensuring clean surface water and safe (water) road management. At Waterschap Rivierenland we have prepared for 4 types of calamities:
– (Imminent) flooding due to extremely high water on the major rivers. To such an extent that even the dikes can no longer cope with it.
– (Imminent) flooding in the polder due to extreme rainfall. Such that more rain falls than can be discharged.
– Pollution of the surface water. For example due to illegal discharges.
– Failure of pumping stations, treatment plants or other installations that we need to perform our tasks.
The Association of Hydraulic Engineers is the employers and entrepreneurs organization for contractors & service providers in hydraulic engineering. Our association has more than 91 members who are active both nationally and internationally. We represent the interests of the members and continuously work on a vital hydraulic engineering sector. We do this by sharing knowledge and organizing activities. But above all, we bring the beautiful profession of hydraulic engineering to the attention of a wide audience.
Working together on a safe, liveable and accessible Netherlands. That is Rijkswaterstaat. The battle against water is not over yet. This is evident from the floods of the major rivers in 1993 and 1995 and new insights into climate change. We use our past to work on the future. Protection against floods will therefore remain high on the agenda in the 21st century. In addition, issues surrounding liveability and mobility remain important items on the agenda. Together with expert partners, we will continue to work towards a safe, liveable and accessible Netherlands.
It is within your and our reach: a liveable, accessible and sustainable Netherlands. The big challenge is not getting there, but how. We see innovations and new ways of working together as key to this. As consultants and engineers, we are building a future-proof country together with our clients, partners and knowledge institutes. Are you in?
