Surveys begin on new pipeline corridor supporting dutch energy transition. 30 Mar 2026 Nootdorp, The Netherlands Fugro, in partnership with engineering consultancy Sweco, has begun soil investigation fieldwork for the Delta Rhine Corridor West (DRC West). Commissioned by Gasunie, this major infrastructure project will create new pipelines linking industrial areas between Rotterdam, Moerdijk and Boxtel. The network will transport hydrogen and direct captured CO[2] to designated offshore storage sites, playing a key role in supporting industrial decarbonisation and advancing the Netherlands' wider energy transition. Fugro and Sweco are conducting investigations along a 70-kilometre section of the planned pipeline route, stretching from the Maasvlakte industrial area up to and including the Hollands Diep. With geotechnical fieldwork now underway, Fugro is performing cone penetration tests, mechanical drilling, and installing monitoring wells to build a detailed understanding of subsurface conditions along the corridor. The Hollands Diep, an important crossing point of the route with a heavily navigated waterway, requires special attention. To ensure a complete understanding of subsurface conditions at this location, Fugro is carrying out additional geophysical surveys to map the riverbed and further optimise the soil investigation. Together, these surveys will characterise soil behaviour, groundwater conditions and overall geotechnical risks. Alongside these investigations, Sweco is conducting a range of studies, including assessments of cultural history, landscape, and ecology. The team is also evaluating potential archaeological features, soil contamination and the presence of unexploded ordnance. Fugro and Sweco will consolidate all findings into advisory reports that provide essential input for pipeline design. These will include directional drilling calculations to identify possible underground drilling paths. The reports will also outline dewatering strategies to ensure groundwater is managed safely during construction. Gasunie will use this information to support the detailed design and construction of the DRC West. Jaco Stemmet, Fugro's Regional Business Line Director for Land in Europe and Africa, said: "Our role is to provide Gasunie with clear, reliable subsurface information to support well-informed decisions as the DRC West moves into its next phase of development. Guided by our purpose to contribute to a safe and liveable world, we provide a detailed understanding of ground and groundwater conditions, helping to reduce uncertainty and support the safe delivery of this important infrastructure." The investigation programme builds on desk studies completed by Fugro and Sweco in 2025, carried out in close coordination with Gasunie. Contact Fugro West Inc.

Fugro deploys amphibious buggy to support investigations for new Danish motorway link. Fugro has begun work on a nearshore investigation campaign for COWI, consultant to the Danish Road Directorate, to support the development of Denmark's planned Third Limfjord connection. This project is a major national infrastructure initiative designed to improve road capacity and connectivity west of Aalborg, including a 4-lane motorway, tunnel, low bridge, and associated land reclamation works. Planned to run until summer, the campaign involves extensive geotechnical investigations in extremely shallow waters around the island of Egholm, where water depths are below 1.5 m. To deliver high-quality data in this challenging environment, Fugro has mobilised its unique Fugro amphibious buggy, which is being deployed in Europe for the first time. The amphibious buggy is a specialised vehicle equipped with crawler tracks and four long support legs, allowing it to drive through extremely shallow water and stabilise itself where survey vessels and land-based rigs cannot operate effectively. By enabling direct access across intertidal areas, rather than requiring the construction of temporary access routes, the amphibious buggy helps minimise disruption to the fjord environment and reduces the overall footprint of the investigation works. It is flexible and easy to manoeuvre in shallow water, reducing downtime and supporting a streamlined programme of boreholes, cone penetration tests, and sampling activities. Senior Project Manager at COWI, Elena Peri, who is overseeing this investigation, said: "We look forward to carrying out this programme together with Fugro. With the amphibious buggy, we will be able to collect the data needed to fully understand conditions in the Limfjord. Over the coming months, COWI and Fugro teams will work closely together to deliver high-quality results and ensure the most efficient site characterisation for this key infrastructure project in Northern Denmark." "Introducing the amphibious buggy to Europe for the first time marks an important strategic milestone in how we approach complex shallow-water investigations," said Matthew Chappell, Fugro's Regional Service Line Director for Nearshore. "This project highlights how Fugro's innovative solutions, technology and offshore expertise come together to solve challenges that traditional equipment cannot, supporting COWI and the Danish Road Directorate with the high-quality Geo-data required for the new Limfjord motorway connection." The Geo-data acquired will play an important role in informing the design of the new transport link, specifically the planned tunnel south of Egholm and the low bridge to the north, both of which require detailed insights into the local geology and soil strength.
Large-Scale additive manufacturing in action. Royal3D continues to expand the possibilities of large-scale 3D printing with the successful delivery of a custom pipe tool rack for Fugro, designed for onboard storage applications on a ship. The structure measures 5 meters in length, 1.75 meters in height, and 1.2 meters in width, highlighting the capabilities of large-format additive manufacturing for industrial and maritime applications. Starting from an initial design provided by Fugro, Royal3D's engineering8 team optimized the concept into a fully 3D-printable solution. Due to its size, the rack was produced in four separate sections, each printed using Royal3D's large-scale ABB robotic arm and subsequently assembled into the final structure. The pipe tool rack was printed using PETG reinforced with 30% glass fiber, combining strength and durability. The misprints were later recycled, fully aligning with Royal3D's sustainability beliefs and material strategy. From design to final production, the project was completed in approximately three weeks, resulting in a final structure weighing over 1,800 kg. Executing a project of this size requires precision, flexibility, and expertise. This successful delivery underscores Royal3D's strength in turning complex concepts into durable, real-world applications through large-scale 3D printing. #Royal3D #3DPrinting #3DPrint #Royal3D #3DPrinting #3DPrint #AdditiveManufacturing #LargeScale #Fugro #ABB #RoboticArm
Kongsberg Discovery, Fugro reinforce main supplier agreement. March 19, 2026 Mark Heine, Fugro CEO, (left) and Auden Berg, EVP, Kongsberg Discovery, sign the agreement at Oceanology International. (C) Kongsberg Discovery Kongsberg Discovery and Fugro have signed a new framework agreement that strengthens a decades-long technology partnership between the two companies. The contract, confirmed at Oceanology International in London, positions Kongsberg Discovery as a key supplier of advanced hydroacoustic and positioning technologies across Fugro's global fleet, including the company's expanding portfolio of uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). The new agreement reinforces Kongsberg Discovery's position as a preferred technology partner for Fugro, providing continued access to the company's solutions, such as the EM2042 multibeam echosounder and Seapath motion and GNSS positioning systems, which have been selected for integration across Fugro's new generation of autonomous survey platforms. Working together, the assets and technology will deliver high-quality, precise hydrospatial data and optimally efficient, safe and sustainable remote operations. Although the agreement is wide-ranging in reach, Fugro's decision to expand its USV fleet, as announced at Oceanology International, is a natural focal point. The Dutch multinational, which employs approximately 10,000 people in 52 countries, has built an advanced network of Remote Operations Centres (ROCs) to enable USV tasks, helping dramatically reduce emissions (by up 95%), with enhanced safety and 24/7 operational efficiency. Kongsberg Discovery technologies are central to these developments, supporting the precise navigation, seabed mapping and underwater positioning required for autonomous success. In addition to multibeam echosounders and Seapath INS, Fugro will continue to utilize a broader portfolio of Kongsberg Discovery systems including HiPAP underwater acoustic positioning and communication technology. Together, these solutions provide the high-accuracy situational awareness needed for complex offshore survey projects.
