TBS-SVA Group

What TBS-SVA Group does

TBS-SVA Group is a privately held Dutch B.V. headquartered in Kanaaldijk 10, 6031 MZ Nederweert, Netherlands, established in 2019 as the holding entity for four sub-brands: TBS (traditional drainage products), SVA (innovative drainage solutions and R&D), IE Systems (sewage odor and corrosion solutions targeting H2S), and DDC AquaCare BV (sustainable rainwater drainage systems). The company self-identifies as the market leader in drainage products and solutions in the Netherlands and operates within the GWW (civil engineering and infrastructure) sector. It manufactures point drainage components (gullies / kolken), line drainage (gutters / goten), manhole covers, separators, backflow valves, and slide gates, with load classes ranging from B125 to E600 across concrete, high-performance concrete (FILCOTEN HPC licensed from BG-Graspointner), and porous concrete material families. A growing AquaCare portfolio layers in climate adaptation functions covering buffering, infiltration, filtration, delayed drainage, heat-stress mitigation, and fauna protection.

The product portfolio includes several proprietary systems: the Retentie Gully Box (underground buffer/infiltration), Cycloon filterput (stormwater purification), CITYKROSS (climate-adaptive infiltration gully with vegetation), Cool City Drain (green urban drainage with a stated 95% absorption capacity), Aqua O slow (controlled rainwater release), and the Fauna Inloopelement and Paddentrap (amphibian safety products validated by the RAVON research foundation). The company offers web-based product configurators (Gullybox, Citykross, Goten) developed in partnership with Py-Engineering to allow engineering bureaus to generate compliant system designs. Products hold KOMO and NL BSB certifications, which are the standard public-sector specification marks in the Dutch GWW market.

TBS-SVA operates a sales-led, direct B2B/B2G model. Revenue derives from one-time sales of standardized products with short delivery cycles and from custom-engineered solutions for complex infrastructure projects. The go-to-market is direct contact with the customer, backed by an in-house engineering department. Customers are Dutch municipalities (gemeentes), water boards (waterschappen), engineering bureaus, landscape architects, and construction contractors. The company does not disclose public pricing, has no app, no public API, no AI/ML capabilities, and has no external funding rounds in the available data.

• Aliaxis: Aliaxis is a global leader in water management solutions, including drainage and stormwater products. While much broader in scope, its drainage portfolio overlaps with TBS-SVA's traditional and climate-adaptation offerings across European municipal and infrastructure customers.

Direct peers

• BG-Graspointner: BG-Graspointner manufactures FILCOTEN HPC drainage channels and related stormwater products. It is both a supplier to TBS-SVA (FILCOTEN material) and a direct competitor offering similar high-performance concrete drainage solutions across Europe.
• ACO: ACO is a European leader in drainage systems, manufacturing point and linear drainage, oil-water separators, and stormwater management products. It directly competes with TBS-SVA's traditional drainage and increasingly climate-adaptation portfolios across public-sector and infrastructure projects.
• Hauraton: Hauraton manufactures drainage channels, gully systems, and stormwater management solutions for civil infrastructure. Its product range closely overlaps TBS-SVA's line drainage and retention/infiltration systems, making it a direct competitor in the European drainage market.
• MEA Group: MEA Group produces drainage systems, manhole covers, and stormwater management products for infrastructure and urban projects. It competes with TBS-SVA's traditional drainage and access-system offerings in European public-sector tenders.
• Wavin: Wavin (part of Orbia) is a Dutch-headquartered provider of water management and drainage solutions, including stormwater attenuation and infiltration products. It is a direct competitor to TBS-SVA in the Netherlands and across Europe, with overlapping public-sector and infrastructure customer bases.
