Composite Structures B.V.

What Composite Structures B.V. does

Composite Structures B.V. is a Dutch specialist in designing, engineering, producing, and installing composite (glass fibre-reinforced polyester / GFRP) bridges and infrastructure components, operating from Meerkerk, Netherlands as part of the Future Structures business group alongside sister company Aannemersbedrijf Damsteegt B.V. The core product line centres on composite bridges (pedestrian, cycling, traffic, and boardwalk applications), composite bridge deck replacement systems, and complementary components including railings, deck plates, and wear layers. Beyond bridges, the company produces industrial composite components (crane stamp plates for Spierings, fibre cement moulds for Sitomeca), floating bodies for water-based housing, and window frame systems for renovation work, giving it a diversified specialty-composites revenue base tied to its core competency.

The company's technology stack rests on GFRP with proprietary variants: Duplicor biobased composites (100% biobased resin from agrowaste, with a rare fire class B rating) and 3D-printed circular bridges made from recycled plastic granulate, both developed in collaboration with partner SPARC. Production capabilities include vacuum injection moulding and 3D printing of recycled thermohardening composites. The CS Standarbruggensysteem offers standardised designs up to 40-metre spans certified to Eurocode, NEN norms, and CUR-aanbeveling 96. A removable composite deck system (40 tonnes vs. a 300-tonne concrete equivalent) addresses access requirements for underground infrastructure such as Schiphol pipelines, and an optional Floepp sensor-monitoring layer provides ongoing structural health data.

The business model is project-based, with revenue generated primarily through Dutch public tenders (UAV-GC, design & construct, engineering & construct, bouwteam formats) and as subcontractor to main civil engineering contractors (Heijmans, KWS, Damsteegt). Revenue streams comprise bridge infrastructure projects, industrial custom composite work, bridge deck replacements, and recurring sensor-monitoring services. Pricing is quote-based per project, with composite bridges priced at roughly the same level as traditional construction. Primary customers are Dutch government entities (municipalities, provinces, water boards) and main contractors; international projects (France) are pursued through channel partner Janson Bridging. The company employs roughly 12 production staff and holds registered CS® brand identities covering its bridge product lines.

Revenue model

1. Infrastructure bridge construction projects: Project-based revenue from design, engineering, production, and on-site construction of composite bridges for public infrastructure (pedestrian, cycling, traffic bridges, and bridge deck replacements/renovations). Projects are typically public tenders won on the basis of technical specifications, sustainability credentials, and total cost of ownership.
2. Industrial custom composite projects: Custom project-based work for industrial clients including stamp plates for Spierings cranes (lightweight, high strength), moulds for the fibre cement industry (Sitomeca), floating bodies for water housing (Waterrijk Woerden, Botel Amsterdam), and residential constructions (Guus house). Engineering and production services billed per project.
3. Bridge deck replacement and renovation: Replacement and renovation of existing bridge decks with composite solutions, often as subcontractor to main civil works contractors. Revenue is project-based, typically per square metre of deck supplied and installed.
4. Monitoring and sensor services: Optional sensor monitoring services for composite bridges, providing ongoing data on structural performance. Delivered in partnership with Floepp.
