What RvB Engineering does

RvB Engineering is a Dutch civil and structural engineering consultancy headquartered in Harderwijk, Netherlands, operating since 1998 as the engineering advisory arm of the RvB Groep. With a specialized team of approximately 20 engineers, the firm delivers integrated engineering and advisory services across five service areas: infrastructure and constructions (civil structures, road construction), water (urban water, hydraulic constructions, water safety, ports), buildings and built environment (construction management, engineering, structures), industry (project management), and area development (environment, mobility, landscape, public space, planning, permits). Notable technical capabilities include climate-adaptive landscape design, validated dike stability analysis, and integrated 3D design environments with clash detection, supported by standard CAD and BIM tools including AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, and Tekla Structures. The firm also maintains CO2-Prestatieladder certification through SKAO.

The firm serves a mix of Dutch government clients and private enterprises across the Netherlands. Documented customers include Rijkswaterstaat, Gemeente Valkenswaard, Total E&P Nederland, Royal Huisman, Thomassen Machining, DHSS, AH Projectontwikkeling, and others. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service engineering and consultancy engagements, with projects typically won via direct client engagement, public tenders, and framework agreements such as the Rijkswaterstaat Samenwerkingsraamovereenkomst Ingenieursdiensten, in which RvB Engineering participates as part of the BOOST ingenieursdiensten consortium alongside five other firms. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, with marketing supported by a project portfolio on the company website, content articles, and a permanent exhibition stand at InfraCampus-IKN in Harderwijk.

RvB Engineering distinguishes itself through creativity-driven design backed by rigorous engineering substantiation, with the compact multidisciplinary team positioned as the primary source of differentiation. Geographic scope is limited to the Netherlands, and the firm operates without disclosed external investment or institutional ownership.

• Tauw Group: Dutch consulting and engineering firm with strong water, infrastructure, soil, and environment practices. Comparable mid-market scale and overlapping service offering, particularly in water management, urban water, and environmental permitting adjacent to RvB's capabilities.
• Witteveen+Bos: Independent Dutch engineering consultancy with strong water, infrastructure, and environmental practices. Directly comparable to RvB in core water management, dike stability, civil infrastructure, and area development services, and part of the same BOOST ingenieursdiensten consortium selected for Rijkswaterstaat framework Lot 2 (Technical Advisory).
• IMd Raadgevende Ingenieurs: Dutch structural engineering consultancy with comparable niche depth in concrete and steel structural design, building physics, and constructability advisory. Directly comparable to RvB's structural/constructies service area for buildings and industrial clients.
• Movares Nederland: Dutch consulting and engineering firm active in rail, infrastructure, and mobility. Comparable in civil/structural engineering depth and Dutch public-sector client base; relevant peer for RvB's infrastructure, mobility, and water-related engagements.
• Antea Group: Mid-size Dutch engineering and consulting firm offering infrastructure, water, environment, and construction advisory. Comparable in scale and service portfolio to RvB, with similar multi-disciplinary delivery across civil, environmental, and area development work in the Dutch market.
• Iv-Groep (Iv-Infra): Dutch engineering consultancy active in infrastructure, water, and industrial markets with comparable service breadth to RvB. Provides competition in civil design, water management, and industrial project work across the Netherlands.

Others

• Fugro: Dutch-headquartered global geo-data and geotechnical services specialist. Adjacent rather than direct competitor: Fugro provides site investigation and geodata, while RvB provides geotechnical advisory and engineering using such data — relevant ecosystem participant for RvB's geotechnical advisory role in the BOOST consortium.

Broad incumbents

• Arcadis: Major global design, engineering, and consultancy firm headquartered in Amsterdam with a large Dutch practice. Overlaps with RvB across water, infrastructure, environment, and area development but at far greater scale and global footprint.
• Sweco: European engineering consultancy with substantial Dutch operations (Sweco Nederland). Overlaps broadly with RvB in infrastructure, water, environment, and area development but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Royal HaskoningDHV: Large Dutch-headquartered global engineering consultancy with broad overlap with RvB across water, infrastructure, buildings, and area development, including major dike and water-safety programs. Operates at much greater scale and offering breadth than RvB.
