About Us
Our purpose
We improve quality of life through a unique mix of creativity and science that applies our deep technical and engineering expertise to deliver innovative solutions to complex challenges.
Our approach
As a leading design and engineering business, we bring together the world’s brightest architects, analysts, designers, engineers, project planners, and sustainability experts to solve the world’s most complex infrastructure and environmental challenges.
From reducing catastrophic flood risks to designing net-zero data centers, we’ve been finding creative ways to improve quality of life for over 135 years.
A legacy built on resiliency
Since our inception in 1888, when we set out to convert unusable wetlands into prosperous farms in the Netherlands, we’ve gathered 135+ years of global expertise in infrastructure, architecture, and manufacturing. Today, we’ve helped more than a third of the world become more resilient thanks to our focus on sustainable design, innovative thinking, and multi-disciplinary collaboration.
Worldwide reach, local expertise
Operating in over 30 countries, we cultivate a deep understanding of the environments in which we work, while leveraging our global knowledge to bring end-to-end solutions to local communities. We pride ourselves on partnering with those most affected by our efforts to ensure lasting, positive impact.
Sustainability is a guiding principle
We’re working to foster positive change for communities around the world. From building fossil fuel-free sites to setting our own target of becoming a net zero company by 2035, every project we take on is guided by our commitment to sustainability.
We create a safe, respectful environment where Arcadians can perform, thrive, and achieve success, and clients feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for.
