CEGE Caribbean

What CEGE Caribbean does

CEGE Caribbean B.V. is a privately held civil, environmental and geotechnical engineering consultancy headquartered in Willemstad, Curaçao. Formed in 2011 through the merger of Bouwlab NV and Curaçao Milieuadvies BV, the firm operates its own civil engineering laboratory and, since 2016, the first asbestos laboratory physically located in the Caribbean (established in partnership with Dutch laboratory M.M.Lab). Its service portfolio spans six integrated disciplines: environmental site assessments, geotechnical surveys, civil engineering quality control, asbestos inventories and analysis, hazardous materials (HazMat), and health & safety consulting, supported by in-house drilling capability via a B57 multipurpose rig and by accredited testing under NEN, ASTM, BS and EU standards.

The company serves governments, project developers, contractors and architectural bureaus across the Windward and Leeward islands of the Kingdom of the Netherlands — Curaçao, Bonaire, Aruba, Saba and Sint Eustatius — with stated ambition to extend further across the Caribbean. Notable engagements include quality control works on the Wind Farm Tera Kora II expansion (NuCuraçao Windparken), extensive asbestos inventory at Curaçao Drydock/Damen Shiprepair, environmental soil and groundwater surveys at Asphalt Lake (Buskabaai N.V.), and geohydrological assessment of Bonaire Comprehensive School (Rijksdienst Caribisch Nederland).

CEGE employs approximately six professionals led by Managing Director Ethiën Troeman and is operationally integrated with Dutch specialist partners Wiertsema & Partners (geotechnical) and BK ingenieurs (environment, asbestos, civil engineering, health & safety), which act as core technical and regulatory partners. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project professional-services basis via quote requests and direct client engagement, with no publicly disclosed pricing or financials.

Broad incumbents

• Arcadis: Global design, engineering, and environmental consulting firm. Competes with CEGE in environmental site assessments and remediation advisory, though Arcadis focuses on much larger enterprise and government programs.
• WSP: Global engineering consultancy with strong environmental and geotechnical capabilities (post-Golder/Wood acquisition). Provides overlapping services in Caribbean and Latin American markets and competes for large project mandates.
• Tetra Tech: International consulting and engineering firm with leading environmental services practice. Overlaps with CEGE on environmental site assessments, asbestos, and water/soil testing, though at a global scale CEGE does not match.
• Fugro: Global geotechnical and site investigation firm with Caribbean operations. Offers overlapping geotechnical, environmental, and survey services at much larger scale, but typically competes on larger projects rather than small-island consultancy mandates.
• Royal HaskoningDHV: Large Dutch engineering consultancy with environmental, water, and infrastructure expertise and a presence in the Caribbean. Comparable in service mix (environmental, civil) and Dutch heritage, but operates at far greater scale and scope.

Direct peers

• Wiertsema & Partners: Dutch geotechnical consultancy that partners with CEGE Caribbean and provides specialist foundation, soil mechanics, and geotechnical advisory services. Directly comparable for geotechnical surveying, field testing (SPT/CPT), and foundation advice.
• BK Ingenieurs: Parent company and core partner of CEGE Caribbean specializing in environment, asbestos, civil engineering, and health & safety. Operates the same service portfolio as CEGE in the Netherlands and shares protocols, technicians, and accreditations, making it the closest direct comparable.
• M.M.Lab: Independent Dutch asbestos laboratory (since 1999) operating the Caribbean lab jointly with CEGE. Provides PLM and SEM-EDS asbestos analysis, which is the same core technical capability CEGE offers in Willemstad.

Regional players

• Stantec: Global engineering, environmental, and infrastructure consultancy with North American and Caribbean presence. Comparable in offering environmental, geotechnical, and site investigation services, but primarily serves English-speaking territories rather than the Dutch Caribbean.

Emerging players

• Antea Group: Engineering and environmental consulting firm with Dutch roots offering environment, water, and infrastructure services. Comparable in scope and heritage to CEGE/BK Ingenieurs but operates at a larger European scale rather than Caribbean local presence.
