About us
We are hydraulic engineers. Working with water is our passion, it is our inspiration to come daily to infrastructure solutions.
This passion was born in 1945 when large parts of the Rotterdam harbours were destroyed. As part of post-war reconstruction, many quays and banks had to be restored. Jan Hendrik van den Herik, the founder of our company, did his share as a stoneworker. His family business developed into a versatile and innovative hydraulic engineering company.
Working together is the key to our operations
We collaborate with our clients, suppliers, knowledge institutes and other companies. All our activities are solution-oriented with a focus on sustainability and safety. The pool of expertise we share with our independent sister companies gives us a powerful edge in multidisciplinary projects.
