Ingenieursbureau Land

What Ingenieursbureau Land does

Ingenieursbureau Land is a Dutch engineering consultancy founded in 2001 in Ede, Netherlands, providing integrated field investigation, modelling, monitoring, and advisory services across four tightly linked domains: soil (bodem), water, waterbed (waterbodem), and civil engineering (civiele techniek). The company conducts physical site investigations (including in-situ permeability testing, geophysical surveys via magnetometry and EMI, XRF field spectrometry, and piezometer/NB-IoT groundwater monitoring), produces advisory reports, designs remediation and dredging plans, supervises construction, and delivers full-cycle groundwater monitoring network management including BRO data delivery. Service lines span Bodemonderzoek, Civiele Techniek, Waterbodem, and Water, with specialised offerings such as PFAS and asbestos investigations, geofysisch obstakelonderzoek, Grondwatermeetnetbeheer, and Grondstromenplan.

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services fees on a project-by-project basis, supplemented by multi-year framework agreements (raamovereenkomsten) with Dutch municipalities, provinces, and water boards. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales into the Dutch public sector, with engagement via direct relationships, competitive public tenders, and framework contracts; the company holds BRL SIKB 1000/2000/6000, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, VCA*, and CO2 Prestatieladder certifications required for accredited Dutch environmental work. The customer base is dominated by Dutch government entities (Gemeente Gouda, Gemeente Utrecht, Gemeente Nijmegen, Provincie Zuid-Holland, Provincie Overijssel, Waterschap Aa en Maas, Waterschap Rijn en IJssel, Aquon), with a small number of enterprise clients (Oasen, Qirion/Alliander) and one-off international engagements (India Hindon river project). The firm operates from a single headquarters in Ede, has grown from two founders to approximately 40 employees, and remains privately held with no external funding.
