In addition to windmills, tulips and clogs, Holland is known for its struggle against the water. Through the ages we have been known for finding solutions for the water challenges facing us. The flood disaster of 1953 provided the impetus for the world famous Delta Works, which reshaped the flood protection in the entire southwestern part of the Netherlands. Our flood protection effort is not finished, but continues to be enhanced and improve in view of future climate changes.
Since its birth in 1881, Royal Haskoning has been working on civil engineering projects with a focus on coastal and river management. After our start in Holland, we soon started working on projects throughout the world. Over the years, we have gained a wealth of expertise and knowledge that we use as the basis of our consultancy services.
Royal Haskoning’s subsidiary Haskoning Inc. has been working in the United States since 2005. Our projects mainly focus on flood protection solutions in the aftermath of Katrina.
