DEME Group

In a joint effort to tackle one of the most contaminated sites in Flanders, we’ve teamed up with OVAM and Antea Group Belgium to take on the task of remediating the former arsenic factory grounds in Bocholt (Belgium), 53 years after its closure. The remediation of the former arsenic factory site is a complex and delicate operation. With heavy metals deeply embedded in the soil, our environmental specialists will use specialised expertise and advanced techniques to tackle the pollution. Five years after the remediation efforts are concluded, there should be significant improvement in the groundwater quality in the vicinity of the site, highlighting the importance of continued long-term monitoring and maintenance of the remediated area. Recently, we welcomed local residents to the site, giving them an opportunity to learn about the project and see firsthand how we will restore the contaminated land. #soilremediation #soilpollution #watertreatment #bocholt #reppel

Double milestone at the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind farm in the US. This week, DEME celebrates the strong cooperation with Dominion Energy as CVOW hits the key milestone of installing 70 monopile foundations. DEME’s offshore installation vessel ‘Orion’, staffed with expert DEME employees and skilled local union members, has been making tremendous progress installing foundations off the coast of Virginia. Additionally, we have successfully laid the first export cable using the DEME cable installation vessel ‘Living Stone’. We also want to give a special shout out to the teams at the Portsmouth Marine Terminal, a premiere staging area, for all their support in making DEME’s operations such a success. We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with the US Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, Virginia International Terminals, Inc., The Port of Virginia, Prysmian and other key partners in the months ahead as we help build one of America’s largest clean energy projects. Once completed, the wind farm will consist of 176 turbines, generating enough renewable energy to power up to 660,000 homes. #offshorewind #CVOW #virginia #energytransition

The fishing village of Lahou-Kpanda on the Grand-Lahou peninsula in the Ivory Coast illustrates the climate challenges the region is facing. Once thriving and idyllic, this village endures the harsh realities of global warming: rising sea levels, coastal erosion, and extreme weather conditions. The advancing sea threatens to swallow the village, forcing residents to relocate. Last year, DEME was awarded a tender organised by The World Bank to stabilise the Grand-Lahou peninsula. The project includes dredging channels in the Tagba Lagoon to ensure safe navigation for fishermen, creating a new pass from the lagoon to the sea, and reinforcing the existing sand barrier with 1 million m³ of sand. By collaborating with the Lahou-Kpanda community and the World Bank, DEME aims to develop a sustainable solution that will safeguard the future of this coastal village. The project will take approximately one year to complete. 👉 Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/eTxFwCtS #dredging #ivorycoast #grandlahou #coastalprotection

🚴♀️What a ride! The Blankenburg Connection was a key part of the first stage of the Tour de France Femmes. The ‘Grand Départ’ kicked off in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with the riders becoming the first and only ones to cycle over the newly constructed Blankenburg Connection and through the Maasdeltatunnel. And there was another first, as this was the first time that the start of the Tour de France Femmes took place abroad. After years of hard work, the Blankenburg Connection is set to officially open to car traffic on 7 December, significantly improving accessibility in the Rotterdam area. We're proud to have played a role in the construction as part of the BAAK Blankenburgverbinding consortium alongside Ballast Nedam. 📷: Rijkswaterstaat #blankenburgverbinding #maasdeltatunnel #immersedtunnel #infra #TDFF2024

💡10,000 curious minds have already explored the wonders of offshore wind energy!💡 The 'Door de Wind' (‘Going like the wind’) expo, co-created with DEME, has just welcomed its 10,000th visitor. Since opening on 22 May at Fort Napoleon in Ostend, Belgium, this exhibition has taken visitors on a fascinating journey through the world of offshore wind energy. Visitors can discover how wind farms are constructed and how electricity travels from wind turbines to their homes through interactive displays, perfect for all ages—especially kids! Plus, there’s a sneak peek at innovative projects like the Princess Elisabeth Island, the first artificial energy island being constructed by a joint venture including DEME for grid operator Elia Group. #doordewind #offshorewind #renewableenergy #fortnapoleon #ostend Toerisme Oostende vzw

DEME and OQ have reached an agreement to have bp as an equity partner and operator in the HYPORT Duqm project. bp will acquire a 49% stake, while OQ and DEME will each maintain a 25.5% stake in the project company. The agreement will enable bp to become part of the green hydrogen project situated in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (SEZAD), Oman.   👉 you can find more information in our press release: https://lnkd.in/eTQ2XGQu

DEME has completed the first stage of inter-array cable installation at the Dogger Bank A wind farm in the UK. We are responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of 900 km of inter-array cables for the entire 3.6 GW Dogger Bank wind farm, which is being developed in phases (A, B & C). This milestone marks the first assignment for our DP3 cable installation vessel, ‘Viking Neptun’, featuring cutting-edge technology for increased efficiency and reduced emissions. Our cable installation vessel 'Living Stone' finalised burial works. ‘Viking Neptun’ will soon return to the UK for the installation of inter-array cables at Dogger Bank B. 👉 More information: https://lnkd.in/dJDH7sCG #offshorewind #doggerbank #cableinstallation #vikingneptun #livingstone SSE Renewables Equinor Vårgrønn

🚦🌟 After 7.5 years of construction, the new road N434 and the accompanying Corbulotunnel have officially opened in the Netherlands! This new infrastructure directly connects the A44 and A4 near Leiden, significantly improving mobility in the province of South Holland. Comol5 RijnlandRoute, an international consortium of DEME, Mobilis TBI, Croonwolter&dros and VINCI Construction Grands Projets, was responsible for the reconstruction of the Leiden West junction, the construction of the new N434, and modifications to the A4 and A44. Comol5 will also be responsible for the 15-year maintenance of the N434. A remarkable part of the N434 highway is the 2.5 km bored Corbulotunnel, which runs under Voorschoten and the Rijn-Schiekanaal (the Vliet). With the completion of the new road infrastructure, our infra experts add another tunnel project to their portfolio, next to three ongoing immersed tunnel projects. 📷: Vincent Basler #rijnlandroute #infrastructure #infra #rijkswaterstaat #zuidholland #tunnel #roadconstruction
