Permanent base
Belgium, Antwerp and the Scheldt basin
Antwerp is the group's home region and the base for project preparation, method statements and diving supervision. Work is executed inside one of Europe's largest port complexes: live terminals, tidal windows on the Scheldt, restricted berths and near-zero visibility are the normal working condition, not the exception.
