Dredging, Environmental and Marine Engineering (in short DEME) is an international group of specialised companies in the field of capital and maintenance dredging, land reclamation, port infrastructure development, offshore related services for the oil & gas industry, farshore windfarm installation, environmental remediation a.o. The group is based in Zwijndrecht, Belgium, and has current operations on the five continents[1]. The roots of the group date back to the mid 19 century[2]. DEME is committed to the practice of sustainable development[1]. In 2009, the Flemish government agency Flanders Investment and Trade[3] awarded the Export Lion 2009 to DEME for what was called[4][5] its 'sustainable strategy of internationalization' and 'the many prestigious assignments carried out worldwide.' In a survey by temporary employment company Randstad Holding among 12.000 Belgians in early 2010 DEME was proclaimed one of the most attractive employers in Belgium.[6]


History

The history of DEME and the Belgian marine engineering industry at large should be seen against the background of three peculiar conditions: the need for Belgian people to keep open their sea lanes through the Flemish Banks in the North Sea; the efforts to maintain free access to the deep inland port of Antwerpen; and their perennial struggle against flooding in the Low Countries. In the process, a valuable expertise was built up in throwing up banks, reclaiming polders and embanking rivers.

This millenary experience is well documented in history.[2][7] At around 1180, a very early canal lock was already in operation at the Belgian city of Damme on the canal from Brugge to the sea. In 1292 dredging works are chronicled in the canals that linked the mediaeval city of Brugge to the North Sea. In his Divina Commedia (between 1308 and 1321) the Italian writer Dante Alighieri compared the hard embankment on which he was sitting to the dikes that Flemish craftsmen had built between Brugge and the Dutch border[8]. As craftsmanship gave way to a more professional approach and the industrial revolution found its way to the European continent, local contractors incorporated companies[9] that would later merge and consolidate as projects became bigger and the business needed ever more capital. But the millenary tradition, skills and expertise of dealing with water has remained.

The roots of DEME are in the coastal region and the Antwerp area of Belgium[10][2]. Three companies are at the cradle of DEME: Baggerwerken Decloedt & Zoon, Ackermans & van Haaren and Société Générale de Dragage (in Dutch: Algemene Baggermaatschappij).

Around 1850, the De Cloedt family had a small contracting business in the Belgian city of Brugge which diversified into dredging canals and building coastal defences as from 1875. The company would be incorporated in 1928, and is nowadays part of DEME as Baggerwerken Decloedt & Zoon. In 1880 the contractors Nicolaas van Haaren (1835-1904) and Hendrik-Willem Ackermans (1855-1945) established a gravel winning and dredging business in the Belgian city of Antwerpen. It was incorporated on 30 December 1924 and remained the core asset of what is nowadays the Belgian investment company Ackermans & van Haaren, one of the two shareholders of DEME. Maintenance dredging on the Schelde river was also carried out by Société Générale de Dragage/Algemene Baggermaatschappij (SGD). This company was established on 5 April 1930 with the De Cloedt family and the Belgian construction and publicly listed company CFE as its shareholders. However, SGD had older roots dating back to the construction of the port of Zeebrugge (inaugurated in 1907).

In the 1970s a major consolidation movement happened in the dredging industry in Europe. In 25 years, the number of European dredging companies dropped from fourteen in 1970 to six by the turn of the century[2]. On 27 November 1974 the dredging division of Ackermans & van Haaren merged with Société Générale de Dragage - creating synergies that proved to be much welcome in the booming markets of the Middle East after the 1973 oil shock. Together they formed Dredging International.

After the global crisis in the dredging business during the 1980s had been resolved, Dredging International and Baggerwerken Decloedt & Zoon teamed up to become DEME on 10 April 1991. In 2000 the De Cloedt family was bought out by the other shareholders. By 2010 Dredging International and Baggerwerken Decloedt & Zoon are two DEME operating companies.

The founding companies of DEME have always been active both on their first home market Belgium and abroad. Total volume dredged by Ackermans & van Haaren between 1888 and 1967, both in Belgium and abroad has been calculated at 593.254.000 m³ - without counting the 8.548.000 m³ of rock that was removed and some 1.941.000 m³ of civil constructions and bank protection.[2] Before the First World War, Ackermans & van Haaren was involved in port construction and dredging in France, Russia, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. Since the early 1950s Baggerwerken Decloedt & Zoon and Société Générale de Dragage became involved in dredging and reclamation projects all over the world.

General

DEME presents itself under a unified image and the single tagline: Creating Land for the Future. The company colours are blue and green, emphasizing the work on the edge between water (blue) and land (green). The corporate logo features the cutter head of a cutter-suction dredger (CSD), underlined with a blue and green bar. The group is made up of 71 different companies, subsidiaries, branches and representative offices worldwide[1]. At the end of 2009 DEME employed some 3.750 people[1]. In 2009 the group realized a turnover of € 1,4 billion[11] and an all-time-high operational cashflow of 21,8 per cent in the second semester.[12] In the first half of 2010 turnover reached the semester-high of € 888 million (vs. € 647 million in the first half of 2009). On 30 June 2010 the orders on hand were valued at € 2,073 billion.[13] In developing its activities, DEME applies a business partnering philosophy that aims at creating a win-win situation with strong local partners.[14] In 2009 DEME companies were operating in 42 countries.[1]

Fleet

DEME has a fleet of almost 300 vessels, among which over 80 main dredging and hydraulic engineering vessels.[1] At the end of 2009 DEME owned and operated 25 trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHD's) with a capacity from 1.635 to 30.000 m³. They include the 24.130 m³ Pearl River[15][16] which was the first megatrailer in the world when she was commissioned in 1994. At the same date the group owned and operated 20 cutter suction dredgers (CSD's), whose installed power is between 441 kW and 28.200 kW. The CSD fleet includes the world's heaviest self-propelled and ocean going rock breaker, the 28.200 kW d'Artagnan.[15][17] d'Artagnan was built for DEME's French subsidiary Société de Dragage International (SDI) and launched in 2005. In July 2010 a model of CSD d'Artagnan was handed over to the Panama Canal Authority.[18][19] Further plant includes a variety of backhoe dredgers (a.o. the 2.600 kW Pinocchio[15][20]; lifting vessels (a.o. the 3.300 tons Rambiz[21]); self-elevating drilling platforms (a.o. the 1.600 tons Goliath[22][23]); fallpipe vessels (a.o. the 19.000 tons Flintstone[24][25]); and auxiliary equipment. In 2010 DEME appointed Wilhelmsen Ships Service as supplier for maintenance products and technical gases globally.[26] Both in the Russian Revolution (1917) and in the Second World War almost the complete fleets of respectively Ackermans & van Haaren and Baggerwerken Decloedt & Zoon were destroyed or lost.[10]

Operating companies

Operating companies of DEME step forward under the common DEME flag, colours and tagline. However, they keep their own identity, operational autonomy, and legal structure. Some of the operating companies of DEME include:

Dredging International

Dredging International is one of the major operating companies of DEME and focuses on the core activities of the group: capital and maintenance dredging; deepening and maintaining navigation channels; major port development; reclamation of new industrial or residential areas, artificial islands, beaches and coastal development. Its roots are in the Antwerpen area of Belgium where its constituent companies began capital and maintenance dredging on the Schelde at the end of the 19 century. Dredging International has subsidiaries, branches and representative offices in Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Russia and East Europe, Mexico, India, Nigeria, Bahrain, Panama, Venezuela, Singapore, Australia, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Brazil, Ghana, Luxembourg, Finland, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Angola, Saudi Arabia, Latvia. Dredging International is an associated company in Middle East Dredging Company QSC (MEDCO).[27]

Baggerwerken Decloedt & Zoon

Like its sister company Dredging International, Baggerwerken Decloedt & Zoon is focused on the core activities of the DEME group: capital and maintenance dredging; deepening and maintaining navigation channels; major port development; reclamation of new industrial or residential areas, artificial islands, beaches and coastal development. The difference is mainly historical and geographical. Baggerwerken Decloedt & Zoon started its business with capital and maintenance dredging in the coastal approaches of Belgium. However, nowadays Baggerwerken Decloedt & Zoon are operating globally with assignments on all continents. Since 2000 the De Cloedt family is no longer a shareholder in Baggerwerken Decloedt & Zoon.

Tideway Offshore Contractors

Tideway is the offshore division of DEME and was established in 1991. Based in Breda, the Netherlands, the company is a full service provider for the oil & gas industry.[28][29] Tideway is operating worldwide, with activities that include the construction of landfalls and outfalls[30] for pipeline transport[31] and high-voltage power cables[32]; preparation of the seabed; offshore trench dredging and backfilling; precision rock placement in depths to 987 m.[33] Tideway operates dynamic positioning (D.P.) fall pipe vessels such as the 12.000 tons Rollingstone[34] and the 19.000 tons Seahorse.[35] The 19.000 tons flagship Flintstone[36] was launched in Singapore on 28 April 2010 and is equipped with dynamic positioning (DP2) and an active heave compensator remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV). The latter enables precision stone dumping in depths to 2.000 m.[37]

DEME Environmental Contractors (DEC)

DEME Environmental Contractors (DEC) was incorporated in 1999 as a merger of various DEME-companies that were established in the 1980's: NV Soils was a specialised company for soil washing and in-situ soil remediation techniques; NV Silt had developed expertise in silt recycling and sludge treatment; and NV Bitumar focused on bituminous materials for hydraulic engineering and fibrous stone asphalt for coastal engineering works. DEC is specialised in groundwater- and soil remediation; sediment treatment; recycling and landfill techniques; environmental dredging; and the redevelopment of brownfields. DEC owns and operates seven permitted soil- and sediment recycling centres in Belgium, including in the ports of Antwerpen, Zeebrugge and Gent.[38] In legal terms, DEME Environmental Contractors (DEC) is part of DEME-controlled Ecoterres Holding,[39] in which all environmental activities of DEME are brought together. Other DEME-environmental companies under Ecoterres Holding include de Vries & van de Wiel, with actvities in the Netherlands; Ecoterres which is based in the Walloon part of Belgium; and Extract-Ecoterres which focuses on France.

GeoSea

GeoSea is a DEME company that specializes in the installation of offshore structures such as an offshore windfarm or a jetty foundation; rock socketing; drilling and hammering of large-diameter piles; geotechnical investigation at large depth. The company was established in 2005, when various disciplines within DEME were brought together to become a new legal entity. As a geotechnical offshore contractor, GeoSea typically operates from proprietary large jack-up platforms, such as Zeebouwer,[40] Vagant,[41][42] and Goliath.[23] GeoSea has a global scope, with activities and projects executed in a.o. Great-Britain,[43] Germany,[44] Mexico,[45] Oman,[46] Australia.[47] In 2010 GeoSea was executing installation works on the offshore Thorntonbank Wind Farm (Belgium);[48] Alpha Ventus Offshore Wind Farm (Borkum, Germany);[49][44] Walney and Ormonde (Irish Sea).[43][50]

Participations

DEME participates in several companies that are co-owned with partner companies. Middle East Dredging Company (MEDCO)[27] is a partnership of DEME with the Qatari United Development Company (UDC) and the Qatari government. MEDCO focuses on dredging and land reclamation projects in the Gulf. In 2004 International Seaport Dredging (ISD) was incorporated under Indian law as a private joint stock company together with Larsen & Toubro. ISD focuses on port development and land reclamation in India.[51] Scaldis Salvage & Marine Contractors was established in 1995 and is involved with wreck removal and heavy lifting.[52] DEME has a stake of 55 per cent in Scaldis.[1] Widely publicized achievements of Scaldis include the salvage of the French freighter Mont Louis in 1985;[53] the raising of the Herald of Free Enterprise in 1987;[54][55] and the salvage of the Tricolor car carrier off Dunkirk, following a 2002 collision at sea.[56][57] DEME is also a founding member of C-Power, the company that builds the Thorntonbank Wind Farm[48] off the Belgian port of Oostende.

On August 1st 2002, the enlargement of DEME’s jumbo trailer “Pearl River” will be started in Singapore. In the process the hopper capacity of “Pearl River” will be increased from 17,000 m3 to 24,146 m3. Moreover, a large deep dredging installation for the “Pearl River” was ordered with IHC, which will allow this jumbo trailer to dredge to depths of 120 m. Owing to the installation of a powerful 3,400 kW underwater engine on the suction tube high production levels can be expected even when dredging at these large depths. With the construction of the “Pearl River” in 1994 DEME became a real trendsetter for a totally new generation of jumbo trailers on the dredging market.


Innovation

According to Mort J. Richardson in The Dynamics of Dredging[2] Ackermans & van Haaren held a leading position in technological innovation, from the very beginning. In 1895 Ackermans & van Haaren was at the cradle of hydraulic dredging techniques and successfully designed a suction dredger, capable of unloading by its own. In the same year, a first vessel of that type was built and christended as Schelde II. Société Générale de Dragage/Algemene Baggermaatschappij (SGD) realized the very first application of a submersible pump in dredging, when such a device was developed and fixed on the drag head of TSHD Maas.[83] At the time of her commissioning in September 1994 DEME's 17.000 m³ flagship Pearl River became, according to Richardson (p. 11),[2] "the very first suction hopper dredge of a completely new generation - featuring twice as much capacity as its biggest successor." In 2005 DEME's French subsidiary Société de Dragage International (SDI) launched the world's largest heavy-duty and ocean-going cutter suction dredger d'Artagnan (28.200 kW installed power.[15][84]

Innovative methods that are aiming at improving the dredging process, include DEME's proprietary DRACULA technique which uses high-pressure waterjets to excavate seabed material[85]. DRACULA is an acronym for "Dredging, And Cutting Using Liquid Action." Various improvements of navigation- and dredging software have led DEME to develop and practise the one man-operated bridge.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). An innovative purpose built drill barge with ten drilling towers, called Yuan Dong 007, was specifically designed and constructed for the 2009 expansion project of the Panama Canal. The performance and the efficiency of the Hong Kong built[86] drill barge, was said to have been DEME's secret weapon and a decisive factor in winning the 2008 contract for deepening and widening of the Pacific side of the Canal.[87]
