Ballast Nedam and Rönesans Holding reinforce each other

Crossing borders

Ballast Nedam International Projects

One of our organisational units

Ballast Nedam consists of 17 organisational units, including Ballast Nedam International Projects (International). International builds large-scale and complex projects worldwide, often under challenging circumstances. The business unit is growing rapidly, particularly in West Africa and the Caribbean. There is a strong focus on Northern and Western Europe. 

Different approach

Ballast Nedam International has a rich history. Africa, the Caribbean, Asia, North America and Europe are known territory for the company. Years of experience with large-scale and complex assignments provide a strong portfolio, including, but not limited to, ports, hospitals and waterworks. This is the foundation for a solid reputation. The added value lies in the combination of flexibility and strict implementation.

Through an intrinsic market, projects are realised in the most efficient and safe way. Operational excellence is the key to success. Logistics can be a major challenge. How does one get the project team and materials on-site? And how does one arrange financial support for the project? Not every construction company is equipped for that.

The character of Ballast Nedam International Projects

"We can (de)mobilise quickly and deal flexibly with changing circumstances,” says Board member Eric van Zuthem: “This is a fundamental success factor in an international environment. We apply this everywhere and see it as an added value that we clearly emphasise. We want to be a partner for our clients, and good partnership contributes to efficient work."

"Working with local people is an important part of how we work and is integrated into our organisation. Working like this requires a different approach to each situation, in which specific training of our employees is extra important, allowing International Projects to adapt its activities to the local market."

Expertise

The team prefers to work on complex construction projects, such as ports, airports and other infrastructural challenges; for example, a cruise terminal on St. Lucia and a new water treatment plant with a distribution network in Sri Lanka. Corporate social responsibility is an integrated part of these projects.

Safety concessions are never made. It's about establishing and keeping trust among employees and working in a safe environment. Safety can never be compromised, it is the absolute top priority at any work.
