What Vialis does

Vialis B.V. is a Dutch infrastructure technology and services company that delivers full-lifecycle solutions for roads, waterways, railways and airports, acting as a single solution provider from advisory and design through realization to asset management. Its core portfolio comprises Asset Insight (infrastructure monitoring using large-scale sensor deployments and data-driven asset management), ViaMobility (sustainable mobility management), VRS railway systems, movable bridges, tunnel technical installations, dynamic traffic management systems (matrix signs, DRIPs, detection loops, cameras, power systems, data networks), airport systems (passenger bridges, platform lighting, 400Hz ground power, fire training, EV fast-charging) and public lighting and traffic control installations. Underlying technology is grounded in industrial automation, OT cybersecurity (including a self-developed data diode) and GIS-linked inspection data, with proprietary tilt-sensor deployments such as the 3,622-sensor Twentse spoor project for ProRail representing one of Europe's largest single-operation sensor installations of its kind.

The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of VolkerWessels, a privately held Dutch construction conglomerate of 120 companies and 13,000 specialists across four countries; Vialis employs more than 750 people across offices in Houten, Amsterdam and Elst. Revenue is generated through B2B/government tendering on infrastructure projects and through long-term managed-services and maintenance contracts, including the RODS framework agreement with Rijkswaterstaat and combined asset management at Schiphol Perceel 2 with sister company KWS. Customer concentration is high, with Rijkswaterstaat, ProRail and Schiphol acting as anchor accounts; pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. The company holds a dense set of sector certifications (ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 55001:2014/2024, VCA**, Safety Culture Ladder Trede 4, CO2-Bewust Niveau 5) that are typical prequalification requirements for Dutch public-sector infrastructure procurement.
