Case Studies

What we've actually delivered.

Client names are confidential — that's their call, not ours. But the engineering problems, the project numbers, and the outcomes are real. If you recognise a project, you probably know the client too.

Sterile Fill/Finish Suite — CDMO, South Holland

A contract manufacturer needed three new aseptic filling suites operational in 14 months to meet a vaccine supply agreement. The previous EPCM partner had delivered late on a similar project — so the stakes were high. We ran the full V-model qualification lifecycle from VMP through to PQ, and structured the FAT programme at the OEM in Nürnberg to generate IQ evidence directly. That single decision eliminated a six-week re-execution phase that the previous project had needed.

Key Numbers
€18.5M total project value
6 weeks saved on qualification timeline
EU GMP inspection passed first attempt — zero critical findings, two minor observations (both documentation formatting)
Facility operational 3 months ahead of commercial deadline
12% under original budget at close-out
"They delivered something our previous partner couldn't — an inspection-ready facility before our commercial deadline." — VP Manufacturing

UHT Processing & Aseptic Packaging — Dairy Cooperative, Friesland

New UHT processing and aseptic packaging line inside an operating dairy factory. The non-negotiable: install everything without shutting down existing production — and pass FSSC 22000 certification before the first commercial product run. We redesigned the CIP routing to enable phased commissioning, ran a shadow HACCP validation alongside construction, and managed 14 contractors simultaneously on a site that never stopped producing.

Key Numbers
€12.2M project value
Zero unplanned production stoppages during 9-month construction
FSSC 22000 surveillance audit passed first time
18% energy reduction vs. old line (heat recovery integration)
Delivered €340K under budget (procurement savings passed to client)

WWTP Capacity Expansion — Waterschap, Utrecht Province

A regional water authority needed to double the capacity of an aging wastewater treatment plant that was already running at 95% capacity. No room for a parallel installation — we had to replace major equipment while the plant kept treating 48,000 m³/day. Two new biological treatment trains, upgraded tertiary filtration with phosphorus removal, and a complete SCADA replacement (Siemens to Schneider migration).

Key Numbers
€22M project value
Delivered 3 months ahead of schedule
Zero permit exceedances during 18-month construction
30% reduction in energy per m³ treated
Effluent quality 25% below new discharge limits

OSD Manufacturing Suite — Generic Manufacturer, North Brabant

A generics company expanding from contract packaging into own-label oral solid dosage manufacturing. Entirely new granulation, tabletting, and coating suite within an existing warehouse conversion. ISO 14644-1 Class D cleanrooms, contained powder handling, and full GAMP 5 validated MES integration. We acted as Owner's Engineer embedded in the client's 4-person project team.

Key Numbers
€8.4M project value
IGJ inspection passed with zero findings — manufacturing license issued in 4 weeks
7 equipment vendors coordinated across 4 countries
Warehouse-to-GMP conversion completed in 11 months

Allergen Segregation Retrofit — Bakery Group, North Holland

A large bakery group with 3 production halls was failing BRC audits on allergen segregation. The issue wasn't procedural — it was physical: shared air handling, inadequate zoning, and CIP dead legs that allowed cross-contamination. We redesigned the HVAC zoning, replaced 340m of pipework, installed dedicated CIP circuits per allergen zone, and rewrote the HACCP plan to match the new physical layout. All work done during scheduled production breaks — no extra downtime.

Key Numbers
€3.8M project value
BRC Grade A restored (from Grade C)
Zero additional downtime beyond scheduled breaks
Allergen test positives reduced from 23/month to 0

🏭Industrial

Chemical Plant Expansion — Specialty Chemicals, Helmond

Major reactor and distillation upgrade at a specialty chemicals facility that couldn't stop production. We designed the new installation to connect to the existing plant via temporary bypass systems, allowing a sequential cutover with only 72 hours of planned downtime per process unit. Full mechanical completion, electrical, and instrumentation — plus ATEX zone classification for the new equipment.

Key Numbers
€6.7M project value
72 hours planned downtime per unit (vs. 3 weeks industry norm)
22% throughput increase post-commissioning
Zero ATEX incidents during hot work in classified zones

PFAS Soil Remediation — Provincial Authority, Gelderland

Complex PFAS contamination at a former industrial site requiring multi-layer remediation: soil excavation (12,000 m³), groundwater pump-and-treat with GAC filtration, and capping of residual contamination. We acted as Owner's Engineer for the province — managing the remediation contractor, reviewing the monitoring data, and handling all regulatory reporting to DCMR.

Key Numbers
€4.2M project value
12,000 m³ contaminated soil removed
PFAS groundwater levels reduced to below intervention values in 8 months

Dike Reinforcement Programme — Waterschap, Zeeland

Engineering support across a multi-contract coastal defence programme. 14 km of primary flood defence, 4 separate construction contracts, and a waterschap that needed an independent technical advisor to coordinate between designers, contractors, and the HWBP programme office. We reviewed all detailed designs, managed the technical interface between contracts, and witnessed all critical soil and geotechnical testing.

Key Numbers
