Expertise
Extreme weather and climate change means flood management is becoming increasingly important. That’s where we come in. Using state-of-the-art investigation techniques, we map river and delta regions that are under pressure due to climate change and urbanisation. We also measure and monitor potential coastal risks and their impact on coastal zones over time. And we provide advice on flood mitigation, drainage and infiltration systems. With the insights unlocked from Geo-data, we can help vulnerable communities, infrastructure, and nature adapt.

Case study
Sustainable dike design ideas prove their worth against floods
In the Dutch province of Limburg, we helped develop and implement two cutting-edge, sustainable dike designs. The idea: construct the dikes using the area’s own materials, carefully integrating them in the landscape. However, the soil did not meet the standard requirements for dike clay.
Case study
365 kilometres of levees, locks, and sluices: a safety assessment
The Dutch have always been pioneers in hydraulic and geotechnical engineering. After the devastating North Sea flood in 1953, flood defence became a pillar of Dutch innovation. So when the Dutch regional water authority needed to determine the strength of its primary levee system, they appointed a Dutch company to conduct levee safety assessments – Fugro.
