Jan De Nul Group offers specific services for the offshore energy market. Our extensive fleet of installation vessels is used for a variety of activities. We install offshore structures and protect them against erosion. However, we also disconnect and remove them if these structures are at end of life or up for replacement. Through an integrated approach from design to execution, we always ensure a creative overall solution, tailored to the client’s specific needs.

All these services can be offered as a comprehensive Engineer-Procure-Construct (EPC) package. Clients are increasingly seeking a complete, one-stop-shop solution for their projects – with an integrated approach from first designs to final installation. Jan De Nul Group’s deep expertise in marine design, procurement and construction engineering enables the Group to respond with a total package on an EPC basis, eliminating the risks for the client. Jan De Nul Group has an in-house engineering department that designs new equipment, or modifies existing equipment, as needed. Each offshore job brings new challenges. Vessels and equipment are constantly adapted to find the ideal solution to specific customer needs, even if it’s only for one particular project.

Jan De Nul Group already completed numerous prestigious offshore projects across the world such as the construction of the offshore wind farm Nobelwind off the Belgian coast, comprising 50 turbines of 3.3 MW each, or the installation of export cables for Race Bank offshore wind farm in the UK, for which brand-new trenching tools were designed and built in-house.

In 2018, Jan De Nul secured its first offshore wind projects outside Europe: the design and installation of the offshore wind parks Changhua and Formosa 1 Phase 2, the very first offshore wind farms in Taiwan. In the meantime, Jan De Nul also secured the Formosa 2 project in Taiwan, as well as the installation of the Coastal Virginia offshore wind farm in the USA.

Jan De Nul Group sets itself ambitious sustainability goals. Our Code Zero awareness programme brings together all our sustainable initiatives from the 10 focus areas. Our ambitions in this are clear:

• Zero emissions: We actively reduce our ecological footprint.
• Zero accidents: We are committed to a safe working environment, always and everywhere.
• Zero breaches: We do not tolerate ethical or social infringements.
• Zero waste: We look for circular solutions and ways to reduce our waste.

Code Zero is not a starting point for Jan De Nul Group, it is the route we have been taking for years. Now we are shifting up a gear. We go for zero! For a better future!

Every employee at Jan De Nul Group works every day according to our ITA philosophy. Good preparation and operational control are key to our success. It is in our nature to work in this way. Quality, safety, improved processes and satisfied stakeholders: these things matter! With a no-nonsense mentality and in cooperation with our clients, partners and subcontractors, we all pursue the same objective.

Jan De Nul Group has a versatile and modern fleet of dredging and offshore installation vessels as a result of a determined investment policy in own equipment.
