We’re facing climate change, and there are a lot of new challenges for the next generations to keep our land safe from flooding. This embankment makes sure 2 million people are safe for the next generations. That’s the importance of our job.

Civil engineers create, improve and protect the environment. We help sculpt the environment in such a way that the world can be a place where we still live and can enjoy life.
Jaap van Thiel de Vries
Director Design & Estimating, Boskalis
Civil engineers are crucial for our future because we shape the world that we live in. A world that is full of challenges related to climate change, biodiversity, which is under pressure, and to poverty, which is still found everywhere around the world. The role of civil engineers is to translate all those challenges into practical solutions.
