Iv-Infra

What Iv-Infra does

Iv-Groep B.V. (trading as Iv) is a privately held Dutch multidisciplinary engineering consultancy headquartered in Papendrecht, Netherlands, founded in 1949 and employing approximately 1,400 specialists across nine Dutch offices. The company delivers integrated design, engineering, consultancy, project and process management, asset management, and procurement services across five end markets: Energy and Offshore, Infra and Water, Industry, Buildings, and Maritime. Its naval architecture and marine engineering activities are housed in the wholly-owned subsidiary Nevesbu, which traces back to 1935 and handles naval vessels, submarines, floating offshore energy, and special ships.

The company's core technology stack combines deep engineering expertise across civil, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, structural, and naval disciplines with proprietary digital tools such as the Kade-ophogingsapp for quay reinforcement assessment (up to 60% time savings in exploration phase), the ABC-methode for portfolio-level structural safety screening across 7,000+ civil works, RAMS analysis capabilities (validated against 99.6% availability requirements for Panama Canal lock gates), and DREAM maintenance optimization for asset management. Iv is actively engaged on flagship projects including Princess Elisabeth Island (the world's first artificial energy island for Elia), TenneT's 2GW/525kV offshore platforms, Ostwind 4 HVDC platform for 50Hertz, and Walrus-class submarine life extension for the Royal Netherlands Navy.

Iv operates a pure professional services revenue model, generating project-based fees negotiated per engagement with government agencies (Rijkswaterstaat, provinces, Panama Canal Authority), energy TSOs (TenneT, 50Hertz, Elia), port operators (Hutchison Ports ECT), water utilities (Dunea), and industrial clients. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales conducted by senior directors (COOs Wouter van der Wiel for Infra and Fedor van Veen for Offshore & Energy, plus Managing Director Bart van Rijssen for Nevesbu and Director Ralf Ohm for Industry), who manage key client relationships and secure engagements through direct tenders and consortium participation. Marketing channels combine a corporate website, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, career events, and high-profile employer branding activities.
