Our History

The adventure started in 1881 with the young and ambitious engineers Johan van Hasselt and Jacobus de Koning setting up the first independent agency in the Netherlands.

The journey continued with the founding of the the Vereenigde ingenieursbureaux voor bouw- en waterbouwkunde (United Engineering Offices for Construction and Hydraulic Engineering) by engineers Heederik, Dwars, Groothoff en Verhey in 1917 and remain part of our DNA today.
