Présentation de l’entreprise

We shape water, land and energy around the world, addressing some of the most important challenges of our time.
From the rising sea level to the energy transition, from polluted soil to sustainable living: we engineer solutions that future-proof our world, known for their complexity and high stakes. Our Can-Do people focus on four areas of expertise: Offshore Energy, Dredging Solutions, Construction Projects and Planet Redevelopment. Together, we all work towards one shared goal: to improve the global quality of life for generations to come.

Evolution

Our story is one of six generations of entrepreneurs, who thrive through a particular way of doing things. And our goal is to be ready for what is coming.

Points forts

We think in generations, not in quarters
In 1849, Leo De Nul is the first entrepreneur of the family. After him follow Frans, Isidoor, Gustaaf, Jan Frans Jozef, Jan Pieter, Dirk and Julie. Six generations building on each other’s work, investing in new talent, vessels, equipment, etc. With the goal to be ready for what is coming, whatever it may be. We are here to create a bright future for the next generations.

We like to step out of our comfort zone
What started as a one-man operation in ‘mechanical joinery and staircase manufacturing’ grew into a multi-activity business. In the 1950s, we execute our first dredging project. In the 1990s, we enter the offshore energy market. After that, our activities continue to expand with property development, specialised environmental works, and foundation techniques. And in 2012, we take a jump start in the renewable energy industry. Pushing boundaries is what we do.


We are originally from Belgium, but have a global view
Our story starts in the city of Aalst, near Brussels. But in the last sixty years, we have spread our wings. In 1968, Jan Frans Jozef De Nul executes our first project abroad – in Le Havre, France. Only five years later, Jan Pieter and Dirk go global. Today, our vast expertise in a variety of settings, as well as our eagerness to explore unchartered territory, remains a key strength.
