What Schagen Infra does

Schagen Infra is a Dutch mid-sized infrastructure construction company founded in 1951 as part of the family-owned Schagen Groep, headquartered in Hasselt, Overijssel. It delivers civil engineering, road construction, and infrastructure maintenance services for Dutch provincial and municipal governments, semi-governmental bodies, and private clients, operating through seven regional offices across the Netherlands including a new Hoogeveen outpost opened in June 2026. The company runs an integrated service chain from advisory and design through earthworks, sewerage, foundations, paving, and environmental remediation, with 120+ projects typically in execution and 210+ professionals on staff plus 15+ apprentices and trainees.

The technical core rests on vertical integration of material supply and proprietary equipment: Schagen Infra owns an asphalt plant (MIO BV in Overijssel), a concrete plant (BCH BV in Hasselt, located on navigable water for ship delivery), and a sand quarry (De Hooidijk in Staphorst), giving it independent control of input quality and cost. Execution is differentiated by GPS-guided concrete paving machines with proprietary undercarriage track geometry for tight workspaces, the Witos Paving real-time process control system, and a portfolio of specialty products including Ritspad® (removable monolithic concrete paths), Reflexcrete (reflective concrete surfaces), Silent Joint® (noise-reducing bridge expansion joints), and Solo Selflevel® self-leveling manhole frames. The firm operates under a comprehensive certification stack covering ISO 9001, ISO 14001, VCA**, the CO2-prestatieladder (top tier 5), the PSO-ladder (top step 3), BRL7000, BRL 1801, BRL 9320, BRL 9321, Safety Culture Ladder, CSC, and NEN-EN 13108.

The business model is project-based infrastructure contracting won primarily through competitive public tendering, with revenue anchored by multi-year framework and maintenance contracts such as the 10-year RIC contract awarded in April 2026 for the municipalities of Hoogeveen and De Wolden covering 5.3 million m² of roads and 137 bridges. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; long-term client relationships with provinces, municipalities, and institutions such as Universiteit Utrecht, ARTIS Amsterdam, Provincie Drenthe, and Stichting Park de Hoge Veluwe are generated through tender wins and consortia (Combinatie Veerhavens Waddengebied with SPIE, De Boer & De Groot, Rederij Doeksen, and Wagenborg). In June 2026, Arjan Berends was appointed Algemeen Directeur of Schagen Groep, succeeding Jonathan Schagen who became Chairman of the Supervisory Board, marking the third-generation leadership transition.
