The name INNOCY is relatively new. Yet the consulting and engineering firm has a wealth of experience. The company is part of ICT Group and was created by the merger of NedMobiel and Proficium. Companies with a lot of experience in the infrastructure field. In January, INNOCY will be further expanded with the acquisition of Strypes Netherlands. Jos Blejie, CEO of ICT Group: "By bringing together the expertise of these three companies, INNOCY forms the consultancy and engineering firm of the future. In its approach to the full V-model, INNOCY is already a strong player in the infra sector. With the addition of Strypes NL, INNOCY has been able to complement its market position in the field of engineering and (industrial) automation within the Infra and beyond."
"We were already working with Strypes, such as on the Zeedoksluis Den Helder and the Gaasperdamer Tunnel in Amsterdam. Strypes adds additional expertise in the planning, design and testing phases. Together we strengthen our market position, as an innovative, versatile and flexible consultancy and engineering firm." Director INNOCY Bram ten Klei: "We see that times are changing, there is a great shortage of engineers and this will only increase. We want to solve this partly by attracting new employees, but technology also plays a very important role in this."
INNOCY focuses on five domains: asset management, project management, safety, data and information, and engineering and automation. Ten Klei says, "With services in these domains, we cover the entire life cycle of complex rail, road and water infrastructure. From the planning phase, to implementation, maintenance and finally the demolition phase. With our technological background, we want to make everything just a little bit smarter."
Ten Klei says the goal is always to add value that actually benefits the customer. "We are switching more and more to turn-key assignments. Like with the expansion of the A9 between Badhoevedorp and Holendrecht." For a fixed price, INNOCY supports clients throughout the asset management organization. "We are involved in various aspects of the bid from the beginning. We mapped the risk profile and found an optimum between the risks, performance and costs and benefits during the project and during the maintenance period that follows. We not only create the plan, but provide the right people throughout the contract period, from asset manager to failure coordinators."
INNOCY consciously wants to take on some of the risk and responsibility for a project. "We don't want to charge for hours, but to be a partner who takes on a job and takes responsibility for it." So that also applies to the maintenance phase. For example, INNOCY provided a system in a tunnel that provides early warning of safety hazards. "Smart technology helps to improve our services," he says. INNOCY also deploys this technology internally. Ten Klei: "We are working to secure our knowledge and experience with technological solutions. Thanks to the development power of the ICT Group, we aim to automate 80% of the work. Engineers can then focus on 20% of the interesting and creative part of the work." This is how we remain an attractive employer for our employees and a true Lifecycle Master for our customers.
