On Oct. 15, the Netherlands learned that NAM officially commissioned a new organization to survey and perform earthquake damage and structural strengthening work in northeastern Groningen.
In addition to engineering firm Arcadis and damage expert CED, the organization consists of the implementing organization OWS. OWS (Oosterhof Holman, Van Wijnen and SealteQ Group) is the organization in which the locally anchored companies Oosterhof Holman of Grijpskerk, van Wijnen of Groningen and the SealteQ Group of Stadskanaal have joined forces.
As of Jan. 1, 2015, OWS will only get involved in damage repair and strengthening of structures in the earthquake-ravaged area of northeastern Groningen.
The SealteQ Group is extremely pleased to be part of this organization and is prepared, supported by its partners, to take on this responsible task.
