Our environments are fragile. To safeguard their delicate balance, development decisions must be based on a thorough understanding of the potential implications. Our wide range of competencies places us in an ideal position to assist you with such projects.
Tractebel Engineering is a leading consultancy company in many areas that are directly relevant to regional and rural development - water and land use, mobility, regional economy and the environment. Our customers rely on us for studies, research and advice on complex issues regarding the sustainable management of natural and economical systems. We often consult for strategic and policy studies, such as integrated water management concepts, environmental and social impact analyses or macro transport economics. We facilitate ambitious ecological projects preserving the natural environment while striking a balance with its various economic and recreational functions.
Our customers also entrust us with the design and implementation of efficient planning and decision-making processes. Wherever necessary, we can support these processes with specialised software tools which we create specifically for this purpose.
Recent projects include the demonstration of erosion prevention models, contributions to flood prevention and coastal zone management programmes, and the development of a long-term vision for the management of the Scheldt estuary to improve its ecology, safety and navigability.
