Ongoing sustainability

Climate change and strict client requirements demand ongoing sustainability in all our operations. We do everything we can to reduce our COâ‚‚ emissions and to work in a socially responsible way.

That is why we are investing in climate-neutral office buildings, electric vehicles, charging stations and fast chargers, battery packs, electrical equipment and hydrogen technologies.

Our environmental policy is part of our corporate strategy.

CO2 Performance Ladder

Certificate
We comply with Level 5 of the CO2 Performance Ladder and are continuously working to reduce our carbon emissions.

Innovative equipment

On every project, we deploy the equipment that best fits the job. Our drilling fleet ranges from smaller compact rigs to large maxi-rigs for longer distances and larger diameters. Our in-house maintenance team keeps all our equipment in top condition to ensure maximum availability. We also continue to invest heavily in making our fleet and machinery more sustainable, including through electrification.

Electric rammers and compactors

Electric rammers and compactors

Efficient and environmentally friendly, our electric rammers and compactors deliver outstanding results.

Excavators

Excavators

Reliable and efficient, our excavators are essential to every excavation project.

Service Vans

Service Vans

Our service vans are specially equipped to support every project efficiently and safely.

Wheel loaders

Wheel loaders

Our wheel loaders are ready to take on the challenges of underground infrastructure with ease.

Safety first

We often work in high-risk environments. So safety, both above and below ground, is always our top priority.

We have been certified under the Safety Ladder since 2014 (currently at Level 4). All our excavation processes are carried out in accordance with CROW500 standards.

Our HSE department includes both safety specialists and quality control staff. Each year we organise a range of practical safety training sessions and courses.

 

Courses

We keep our skills up to date by following courses in traffic safety, fire safety, emergency response, soil contamination and the prevention of excavation damage.

Courses

Ownership

We take time every day to reflect on our safety culture. We speak up and remind each other of unsafe situations. By simulating real-life scenarios, we identify how we can improve and work even more safely together.

Ownership

Being prepared

Alongside theoretical training, we also practise real-life scenarios such as extinguishing fires and providing first aid.

Our Strength: multidisciplinary working

Under our framework contracts, we are multi-deployable for grid operators and water companies. Wherever possible, we combine subsurface infrastructure work (gas, water, electricity and sometimes telecom). This increases efficiency and speed and reduces disruption to the surroundings and the end user.

  • Simultaneous execution of cable and pipeline work.
  • Minimum disruption, shorter project duration.
  • Cost-saving, lower emissions, hence more sustainable.

Forward thinking, today and tomorrow

The underground infrastructure sector presents countless challenges. From the energy transition and sustainable, safe working practices to sharing data with our clients.

To meet both current and future challenges, we are an energetic, entrepreneurial and forward-thinking organisation.

By working in a process-driven and standardised way, and by sharing knowledge and experience, we improve a little every day.
