Civil engineering supplier grows into provider of total concepts

For infratechnology, sustainable greenery and water management

Joosten Plastics began as a standard supplier for materials in civil engineering, in the broadest sense of the word. But the company, with a huge range in geo-plastics, has now grown into a provider of total concepts for infra-technology, sustainable greenery and water management. "For our customers, we have become the problem solver where we bring capacity and expertise to projects," says Bob Boonzaaijer, business manager at Joosten Concepts.

Partners

At Joosten, the various subsidiaries of Joosten work closely together. With each other and with suitable partners in the market. "A unique concept, with which we completely unburden contractors," continues Boonzaaijer. "Our customer has a single point of contact, access to products from a wide, diverse range and the expertise of ourselves and our partners with whom we develop projects, concepts or systems. After all, designing and applying systems with structural geosynthetics requires specific knowledge. By combining our concepts, we arrive at the best solution for the project, because every project is unique and requires a different approach. The customer benefits optimally from the strength of our cooperation."

Sustainable greenery

"For example, within the green concepts we realize, together with our partners, growing places where trees can come into their full potential in the perfect conditions. Among other things, Joosten Ecodak creates sustainable green roofs where rainwater is buffered on the roof and the excess water is used again to water trees. By combining products from Joosten Kunststoffen's wide range of products, we arrive at the best solutions."

Infratechnology

"For infratechnology, you can think of complete piping systems and manholes (Joosten PLT) for new housing developments, for example, but also foundation structures such as crane stands for wind turbines, soil and asphalt reinforcement for roads on soft soil, geotextiles and foils for separation, filtration and covering. Furthermore, we build reinforced soil EPS and pile mattress structures." Boonzaaijer emphasizes, "From the tender, during design and during realization, we provide not only materials, but therefore also our expertise. We look at what requirements are set for a project (EMVI, MKI criteria), what expertise is needed for this and which systems and products fit best." 

OLA

With Joosten's gigantic network (municipalities, Department of Public Works, (landscape) architects, suppliers, engineering firms and contractors), they really are the spider in the web in the market to bring knowledge to prescribing bodies and at the same time ensure that contractors are offered the best, innovative systems in an economically advantageous way. Boonzaaijer concludes, "We offer the full OLA principle to the customer: the Design, Supply and Application of reinforced soil, pile mattresses and EPS structures. In which the result must always be an efficient, sustainable and high-quality solution."
