At Van der Veekens, they don't beat around the bush: the construction sector is a major emitter of greenhouse gases. That is precisely why they choose a different approach. Sustainability is not a standalone initiative, but is embedded in their way of working and thinking.
The roof is completely covered with solar panels, generating a large portion of the energy needs in-house. This energy is used directly within business operations. Where an electric alternative is available, investments are made in it: from cars and work vans to excavators and shovels. Charging is done as much as possible using own energy and charging infrastructure.
As a family business with a rich history in the civil engineering sector, led by Richard and Vinus van der Veekens, the company knows what matters: building on trust, thinking long-term, and doing what you say. That same mentality is in our DNA as well. No quick fixes, but collaborating on solutions that stand the test of time.
The handshake was sealed by Marion van den Akker (Sales Advisor at Staad) and John Rem (Head of Operations/Planner at Gebr. van der Veekens). A moment that perfectly reflects what this collaboration is all about: short lines of communication, trust, and moving forward together.
With the deployment of the STAAD 17W, they reinforce their sustainable course and take the next step in practice. We provide support with reliable technology and service, ensuring that emission-free working truly works on the construction site.
We thank the team at Gebr. van der Veekens for their trust and look forward to further collaboration.
