December 6 is a special day for many children, as Sinterklaas brings joy and gifts wherever he goes. In keeping with tradition, we celebrated our annual Sinterklaas gathering with DEME families last weekend. Sinterklaas arrived safely by boat and made a grand entrance at an indoor playground, carrying a boatload of gifts and sweets for the children. We’d like to think our maintenance dredging works played a part in his smooth journey, ensuring the waterways were at just the right depth for his special cargo to reach us! 🎁 😉 It was a magical day filled with laughter, treats, and unforgettable moments for our DEME families. #sinterklaas #OneDEMEOneTeam

🚧Progress on the Scheldt Tunnel in Antwerp. On the Left Bank construction site, the first section of the tunnel is being submerged - a major milestone in constructing the immersed tunnel, part of the Oosterweel road infrastructure project. 150,000 m³ of water is pumped from the Scheldt onto the site, allowing the tunnel and the river to meet for the first time!   🏗️The next step? Breaking through the old Scheldt dyke. To avoid potential damage from the Scheldt’s strong currents, the tunnel section is being put under water before removing the old dyke. By early 2025, the dyke will be dismantled, giving more space to the river. By giving the Scheldt more room, a natural floodplain with 24 hectares of new nature is being created close to the city. Further inland, we’re building a new, higher Scheldt dyke to ensure stronger flood defenses.   👷♀️In 2025, eight tunnel sections will be transported from the construction site in Zeebrugge to Antwerp, where they will be immersed. Oosterweel is a large-scale infrastructure project in Antwerp aimed at completing the city’s ring road, reducing congestion, and improving connectivity.   Client: Lantis DEME's partners in the TM COTU joint venture: BESIX, Jan De Nul Group, STADSBADER CONTRACTORS NV #oosterweel #ditisoosterweel #antwerp #tunnel #immersedtunnel

As we count down to the official opening of the Blankenburgverbinding in the Netherlands on 7 December, two events took place last weekend to explore the brand-new road and tunnel infrastructure. On Saturday, visitors had the unique opportunity to get a preview of the new road infrastructure during an open day. A walk through the Maasdeltatunnel provided a behind-the-scenes look at the construction, showcasing a project that DEME is proud to be part of. On Sunday, the Tunnel Run challenged runners with a 10-kilometre race featuring steep gradients and long descents in the Maasdeltatunnel and Hollandtunnel. For our DEME team, many of whom contributed to the construction of the Blankenburgverbinding, running through the infrastructure they helped build was an unforgettable experience! 🎥 After movie open day: https://lnkd.in/eh38-mAX 🏃 After movie Tunnel Run: https://lnkd.in/eWYYD3dJ #Blankenburgverbinding BAAK Blankenburgverbinding Ballast Nedam

Returning to Cuxhaven in Germany! DEME has been awarded a contract for the construction of a new offshore wind terminal at the Port of Cuxhaven, further strengthening the port's position as an offshore industrial hub supporting the handling of heavy-duty loads, including components for offshore wind farms. As part of a consortium, including Depenbrock Bau GmbH & Co. KG and TAGU, DEME will carry out the dredging and land reclamation works for this new terminal, operated by Niedersachsen Ports GmbH & Co. KG. Having previously contributed to the construction of neighbouring berths 4 and 8, we are excited to return to Cuxhaven. With extensive experience in Germany, including projects like the deepening of the Elbe River and the widening of the Kiel Canal, we look forward to starting this new port expansion project! 📰 Read more in the press release: https://lnkd.in/eNNg_pHD #portexpansion #dredging #landreclamation #energytransition #germany #cuxhaven Unternehmensgruppe LUDWIG FREYTAG

🎉DEME Family Day in Manila: honouring team spirit and celebrating Christmas early! On Wednesday, 20 November, DEME hosted a Family Day in Manila, the Philippines. This event, which lasted the whole day, attracted more than 400 crew members and their families. The special occasion was organised to celebrate the collaboration within the DEME family in the Philippines. It included updates on the latest results of the group, the crew department, as well as Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment initiatives, and last but not least... celebrating Christmas early!🎄   It was not only our dedicated crew in the Philippines who participated in the event but also team members from Belgium, Taiwan, and Singapore. With over 400 Filipino crew members forming a crucial link in our global operations for dredging and offshore activities, this gathering was a way of paying tribute to the invaluable contributions they make. Organised by MRA Offshore, which has been our trusted partner in the Philippines for more than 40 years, this DEME Family Day was the ideal occasion to further foster relationships with our crew and their families. It was a true reflection of DEME’s commitment to team spirit and it reflected our core value of ‘We Care’. So here's to many more celebrations and continued success together! 🙌 ##MRA #crew #DEMEfamilyday #teamspirit #OneDEMEOneTeam #wecare #Philippines #grateful

Halfway milestone at Îles d’Yeu and Noirmoutier offshore wind farm! Recently, we have successfully installed the 31st foundation at the Îles d’Yeu et Noirmoutier wind farm deploying our jack-up vessel ‘Innovation’, marking the halfway point of the drilled XL-monopiles installation campaign. Facing a rocky seabed and challenging ocean conditions, we are deploying our 350-tonne offshore foundation drill, co-developed with Herrenknecht through a unique and lasting partnership, using jointly developed tools. We also deploy the 60-metre-tall ‘MODIGA’. This innovative equipment encapsulates and safeguards the drilling and installation process against harsh ocean conditions, ensuring enhanced operational efficiency. This achievement has been made possible thanks to our dedicated team and the outstanding cooperation between DEME and our client Les Éoliennes en Mer Services and valued partners and subcontractors, including Herrenknecht AG, LDD (Large Diameter Drilling Ltd.), TMS Technical & Maritime Services B.V., IQIP®, Master Builders Solutions, Sika SpanSet Axzion, Bluestream and AMLP. #offshorewind #noirmoutier #france #drilling #offshorefoundationdrill #innovation
