Creating land for the future
There are many landscapes in this World : economic, social, physical. DEME’s work affects them all. Our unique experience, dedicated people and drive for innovation help us break new ground wherever we go. We provide strong foundations for future developments on land, water and anywhere in between.
Vision
In the future, with an ever-growing demand on nature’s resources and heightened environmental awareness, the world must take on the challenge of respecting as well as developing the environment.
Worldwide economy is growing at an ever faster pace. New markets (B.R.I.C. countries, the Middle-East) are coming to the fore.
This growth needs energy, craves infrastructure: ports, navigation channels, new LNG infrastructures, expanding oil and gas pipeline networks. And stimulates the urgent need for new habitat, often close to the water. At the same time climatic changes enhance the need for coastal protection. Scars from the past (e.g. contaminated soil) need to be repaired. The world must learn to make the most of the resources that are (still) available in an inspiring, responsible way and to safeguard people’s living environment, while securing fauna and flora. New developments must contribute in an innovative way to making the world a better, more human place.
Mission
DEME wants to play a vital role in sustainable development in an inspiring, respectful way.
DEME is best placed to achieve this. On the one hand through its long experience and extensive range of environmental and infrastructural specialism, on the other hand through its innovative thinking and entrepreneurial spirit.
But most of all through the dedication and the craftsmanship of its own people, while remaining open to competence partnerships that offer a long-term perspective.
