We energise infrastructure connections
Preparing our country for the energy transition
We are Van Vulpen
For more than 50 years we have been building the Netherlands’ underground infrastructure. From residential connections to service and transport pipelines.
As an energetic connector of cables and pipelines, we are preparing our country for the energy transition, the housebuilding challenge and climate adaptation.
Expertises
Our country’s infrastructure is undergoing major change. Especially due to the energy transition, demand for cable and pipeline construction is skyrocketing. With our expertise in underground infrastructure, we align perfectly with this demand.

The Van Vulpen way
Safety first
We work in a high risk sector, such as near gas pipelines, along and underneath busy waterways, and in contaminated soil. Safety is our top priority, firmly supported by these four pillars:
Energetic
We are vital, resilient and entrepreneurial. Fueled by our perseverance, no nonsense culture, and strong drive for action. When circumstances are challenging, we energetically seek efficient solutions.
Connected
We realise infrastructural connections that are essential for the Netherlands. Above ground, we are in constant contact with our employees, clients and suppliers.
Process-driven
By working process driven, we know exactly which activities are required for a project. Clients always have insight into the status of projects. To this end, we've standardised all our processes in our proprietary ERP system: PROQS.
Distinctive
We are flexible, reliable, and genuinely care about others. Clients, suppliers, and employees can count on our full attention. This fosters a positive and personal work environment within and around our organisation.
