What Royal Haskoning DHV does

Royal Haskoning DHV (operating as Haskoning) is an international, privately held engineering consultancy headquartered in Amersfoort, Netherlands, with a workforce of approximately 6,800 professionals serving clients across more than 20 countries. The firm is organized around ten market verticals — Aviation, Buildings, Data centres, Digital solutions, Energy, Industry, Infrastructure, Maritime, Mobility, and Water — and delivers project-based consulting, design, and project management services to government agencies, utilities, and private-sector clients, with a particular concentration of marquee engagements in water management, maritime/port engineering, and climate-resilient infrastructure.

The company's competitive position rests on proprietary technology assets and deep domain expertise built over more than nine decades of Dutch engineering heritage. Core technology offerings include Aquasuite Pure, an advanced process control system using self-learning algorithms to optimize wastewater treatment; Nereda, an aerobic granular sludge wastewater treatment technology; Twinn by Haskoning, a digital twin platform for infrastructure and environmental systems; and specialist subsidiaries NACO (aviation consulting), ITP (integrated transport planning), and Hydroinformatics Institute (H2i) for water data science. The firm has also integrated third-party AI capabilities, notably SchemeFlow's generative AI platform for engineering documentation, producing measurable productivity gains of 60–80%.

Royal Haskoning DHV generates revenue through professional services engagements — feasibility studies, design, project management, and advisory — priced on a project-specific basis with no public rate card. Distribution is delivered directly via its global office network and through subsidiary brands, while growth is increasingly supported by an active M&A program targeting digital water, nutrient recovery, and AI capabilities, alongside consortium participation in marquee projects such as Singapore's Pulau Tekong polder, India's Gujarat Kalpasar dam, and North Sea offshore green hydrogen studies.
