Samen voor Techniek

What Samen voor Techniek does

Samen voor Techniek BV is a Rotterdam-based, full-service engineering consultancy founded in 2024 as a Dutch private limited company (BV). The firm operates across five integrated service lines — civil engineering, mechanical engineering, structural advisory, 3D scanning and measurement, and project management — targeting Dutch enterprise and mid-market clients in civil infrastructure, industrial manufacturing, food processing, medical equipment, maritime, and offshore sectors. The "Samen" (Together) branding and sales-led, referral-driven go-to-market emphasize personal contact, a single central point of contact per project, and long-term collaborative relationships over digital marketing or scale-driven acquisition.

The firm's technical stack is built on industry-standard engineering tools: 3D CAD platforms (SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Inventor) for design, FEM (Finite Element Method) simulation for digital validation of deformations, stresses, fatigue, and temperature distribution, and 3D laser scanning with photogrammetry for reverse engineering, deviation analysis, and dimensional measurement of complex steel structures. Land surveying is delivered using Total Station, GPS, and leveling instruments. Specialized domain expertise includes hygienic design per EN 1672-2 for food industry machinery, structural engineering per Lloyd's Register and DNV standards for offshore installations, and underground infrastructure design for the energy transition (drinking water, heat networks, petrochemical, sewage, electricity). Services are delivered both in-office and on-site at client locations.

Commercially, Samen voor Techniek operates on a time-and-materials professional services model, billing clients bi-weekly for hours worked and out-of-pocket expenses under 30-day net payment terms, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm is led by four principals — Eddy Zaman (civil engineering), Chris van der Velde (mechanical engineering), Stefan de Baat (underground infrastructure), and Dennes van der Kleij (structural advisory) — each anchoring a discipline. It is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds.

Core offering

Samen voor Techniek is a full-service engineering consultancy delivering integrated civil engineering, mechanical engineering, structural advisory, 3D scanning/measuring, and project management services. The firm designs, advises, and realises infrastructure projects, custom machines, hygienic food-industry equipment, medical/laboratory devices, and offshore constructions for Dutch-speaking enterprise clients, using 3D CAD (SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Inventor), FEM analysis, and 3D scanning for digital validation. Services are sold on a project/quote basis and delivered both in-office and on-site at client locations.

Product overview

Samen voor Techniek is a full-service engineering bureau offering integrated services across Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (Werktuigbouw), and Structural Advisory (Constructief Advies). The company provides these five core service areas as a unified portfolio: Civiele techniek handles above-ground and underground infrastructure with hydraulic calculations; Werktuigbouw delivers mechanical engineering using 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Inventor) for custom machines, food industry equipment, and FEM analyses; Constructief Advies provides structural engineering for civil works, buildings, and offshore projects; Scannen & Meten offers 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and land surveying; and Projectmanagement delivers strategic project coordination with a single point of contact. All services are delivered through multidisciplinary collaboration with a focus on sustainable partnerships.

Products and services

• Civil Engineering (Civiele techniek) Full-service civil engineering covering above-ground infrastructure, urban and landscape design, water engineering, earthworks, and execution phase management, including underground infrastructure design for drinking water pipelines, heat networks, petrochemical pipelines, sewage, and electrical systems with hydraulic and PLE calculations. Serves Dutch-speaking enterprise and mid-market clients across infrastructure, public-sector, and industrial projects.
• Mechanical Engineering (Werktuigbouw) Comprehensive mechanical engineering services including full design trajectories, custom machine construction, food industry machinery compliant with EN 1672-2 hygienic design, medical sector and laboratory equipment, prototype building/testing, fabrication and commissioning, and FEM analysis using SolidWorks, SolidEdge, and Inventor. Serves clients in the food industry, medical/laboratory, heavy industry, offshore, maritime, and lifting equipment sectors.
• Structural Advisory (Constructief Advies) Structural engineering and advisory services for civil constructions (fixed and movable bridges, lock complexes, foundations), utility buildings (steel, concrete, timber), industrial environments, temporary constructions, and offshore projects. Provides structural calculations and detailed drawings and works with Lloyd's and DNV certification standards for offshore structures. Serves civil, industrial, and offshore engineering clients.
• Scanning & Measuring (Scannen & Meten) 3D scanning and surveying services for reverse engineering, 3D deviation analyses, height mapping, dimensional analysis of complex steel structures, full data processing to 3D solid models, point clouds, and textured meshes with photogrammetry integration. Includes land surveying using Total Station, GPS, and leveling instruments. Serves clients needing accurate as-built data for design, maintenance, fabrication, and verification phases.
• Project Management Strategic project management services providing a single central point of contact for each project, ensuring oversight of tasks, timely execution, and clear communication across disciplines and stakeholders. Covers project management, environmental management, process optimization, feasibility studies, machine acceptance (CE marking), and risk assessments. Serves enterprise and mid-market clients with multi-disciplinary engineering projects.

Comparable to SVT in its Dutch-market civil engineering and underground infrastructure design practices, though at much larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Heijmans: Heijmans is a major Dutch construction and engineering firm with civil infrastructure, structural, and technical installation capabilities. Comparable to SVT in Dutch civil and structural engineering practices, but Heijmans combines engineering with large-scale construction execution.
• Sweco: Sweco is a major European engineering, design, and consulting firm with substantial Dutch operations. Comparable to SVT in civil, structural, and infrastructure engineering service lines, but offers much broader geographic reach and bench depth.
• Royal HaskoningDHV: Royal HaskoningDHV is one of the largest Dutch engineering consultancies, operating globally across infrastructure, water, industry, and the built environment. Overlaps with SVT's civil, structural, and mechanical engineering capabilities but at vastly larger scale and broader portfolio.
• Arcadis: Arcadis is a global design, engineering, and consulting firm with deep roots in the Dutch market. Comparable to SVT in delivering multidisciplinary engineering services for infrastructure and industrial clients, but operates at significantly greater scale with global delivery.

Emerging players

• TopScan: TopScan is a European specialist in 3D laser scanning, dimensional control, and reverse engineering services. Comparable to SVT's 'Scannen & Meten' practice, offering 3D scanning and measurement services for industrial clients, though without the broader civil/structural engineering integration.
