Students visit our projects in Abu Dhabi and Dubai

The visit began at our Dubai Waterfront hub, where all the logistical preparations for our projects take place. After an introduction to the Al Omairah project, we joined the students for a closer look at the site. They received information about vessels and pontoons, viewed our excavator Starfish and were introduced to the many components of a dredger. They then boarded our cutter suction dredger Leonardo Da Vinci, where we explained the operation of such a vessel.

Of course, the students were not only introduced to the technical aspects of the work, but also to life abroad. After the tours, they could first show their sporting side during football, basketball and padel matches, where they teamed up with Jan De Nul colleagues. We ended the day with a dinner, during which the students were able to network informally with Jan De Nul colleagues who enjoyed sharing their own experiences and stories.

The students were very enthusiastic about really getting to know Jan De Nul, our diversity of projects, and of course all the job opportunities we have to offer at home and abroad. In short, a successful visit!
