How we are organised
Grontmij’s mission is to be the leading European sustainable design, engineering and management consultancy for the built and natural environment. Although our activities have always been sustainable by definition, changes in the Earth’s climate and shifting trends towards population growth and urbanisation, means there are now new challenges and opportunities for us. Our broad scope of skills and expertise and our ability to offer our services on a local and international basis, positions us to benefit from these external influences. So managing and exchanging local knowledge is high priority for Grontmij. This enables us to deploy expertise in different markets. Specific growth areas include water, energy, transportation and sustainable planning and design. This is why, from 2010, we are organising our activities according to four distinct business lines that also can and do work, in line with multi-discipline and cross-border goals: 

Planning & Design
Sustainable solutions for the built and the natural environment. We plan and design for the places and spaces where people live, work and spend their leisure time. This can range from the renovation of a hospital into a healthy, sustainable building to designing a new city suburb.

Transportation & Mobility
Growing urbanisation is putting greater pressure on infrastructure as more and more people are moving to urban areas. Transportation is all about moving people, goods and other materials from A to B in the most efficient, environmentally sustainable way. We move over-, above- and underground via highways, rail, water, tunnels, bridges and air. These transport flows have to be designed, planned and executed. In turn, Mobility works to manage these flows in more efficient ways.

Water & Energy
Generating, using, managing and recycling water and energy resources in every conceivable variation. We work on ‘source to tap’ and ‘sink to sea’ water management. As part of our lifecycle management, we ensure treatment works and sewerage systems help improve the quality of water and reduce sewer flooding. Grontmij professionals work with clients to manage complex projects and processes, often tasked with delivering projects on quality specification, on time and on budget. In Energy, we create solutions and innovate for sustainable and renewable power, ranging from wind to new ways of reducing CO2 emissions.

Monitoring & Testing
All buildings and constructions are exposed to the natural elements. In line with our lifecycle management strategy, this business line covers all scientific and technical knowledge used in construction, including geotechnical studies, structural and material diagnostics and pathologies, product audits and certifications and maintenance and monitoring for complex projects.
