Waterland Projecten

What Waterland Projecten does

Waterland Projecten is a privately held Dutch civil engineering consultancy headquartered in Goes, Zeeland, founded in 2012 by Dirk-Jan van Wijck. The firm provides management and consultancy services for ground, road, and water construction (grond-, weg- en waterbouw / GWW) projects, covering all five roles of the Integraal Project Management (IPM) model: project management, technical management, project control, contract management, and environmental management. Its core service portfolio spans fifteen offerings, including tender support (EMVI-plannen), civil calculations, contract management, engineering and technical drawing, work preparation, system engineering, project control, environmental management, and specialized calculations such as MKI lifecycle assessments and AERIUS nitrogen deposition modeling.

The underlying technology is built on a customized Relatics environment developed by certified in-house programmers, BIM/3D modeling tools, the AERIUS calculator for nitrogen permit work, and the MKI methodology for environmental cost quantification. The firm also offers UAV-GC training courses at four certification levels in collaboration with Idraulicon B.V. Its client base includes major Dutch contractors (BAM, Heijmans, KWS Wegenbouw, Strukton, Van Oord, Sweco, Unica) and government bodies (Rijkswaterstaat and multiple Zeeland-region gemeenten), plus SMBs in the GWW sector.

Waterland operates as a project-based professional services firm: revenue is generated through consultancy fees for engineering, tender, project-management, and calculation engagements, with all services quoted per project. It maintains ISO 9001 certification, is bootstrapped and founder-owned, and markets primarily through its own website, a dedicated recruitment site (werkenbijwaterland.nl), and referral-driven client relationships anchored by the 'Waterland-methode' talent-development approach.
