Our services

Insulation

Industrial insulation makes a significant contribution to the integrity of pipes, assets and installations. A proactive approach to new construction and maintenance in combination with insulation is therefore very important to keep assets in good condition. Any risk of CUI (Corrosion Under Insulation) should be avoided at all times. Bilfinger is a partner with extensive experience and knowledge in applying the right industrial insulation according to our customer's specifications and according to legal and industry-specific regulations.

Painting

Metal and steel can be subject to degradation due to corrosion, for example, which can create dangerous situations. Painting is a way to preserve steel and ensures that it is protected from external influences that can cause corrosion. We do this by applying a special coating to the material. In this way, the reliability and safety of equipment and installations is optimized. Bilfinger is a reliable and experienced partner in the field of painting.

Scaffolding
  • To reach all parts of installations properly, a safe workplace at height is required. Bilfinger has decades of experience in scaffolding construction. At the same time, we are the most progressive service provider in the scaffolding industry. With the implementation of various innovations in the areas of process, product and safety, Bilfinger scaffolding construction has become even more professional in recent years. Safety and cost control remain at the forefront at all times. 

    As an alternative to scaffolding construction, we also offer rope access

Non-destructive Testing

Non-destructive Testing (NDT) is the examination of an installation for integrity without damaging the object. Different methods are used for this, depending on the material, the object, and the situation, such as radiography, ultrasonic, eddy current, magnetic, penetrant and visual examination. In addition to our integrated approach where all associated preparatory services such as insulation, blasting and access solutions are all provided by Bilfinger, you also benefit from our fast, on-site reporting for NDT and inspection. This is completely customized and can be integrated into your systems if required. 

Tracing

In industrial processes, temperature control is very important. Tracing, or heat tracing, ensures that products and raw materials remain at the required temperature level for optimal process conditions. The petrochemical, food, offshore and other industries contain pipes, storage tanks, pumps and instruments filled with liquid products and semi-finished products. Through tracing, the desired temperature is controlled here. Bilfinger has broad and deep expertise in both steam tracing and electrical tracing. In combination with our insulation services, we can achieve optimal process conditions.

Asbestos Removal

From securing to complete asbestos removal, Bilfinger is a leading specialist and offers a customizied approach, fully tailored to the specific asbestos problem. Based on the available asbestos inventory, we draw up the plan of action, constantly taking into account the availability of the asset to be treated. By applying the strictest regulations during removal, the danger to health is removed and the asbestos present is disposed of in an environmentally conscious manner.

In the Netherlands, employees performing the work must also be certified. This is because asbestos removal is a high-risk professional activity. To guarantee the social importance - health and safety in connection with work - the government has opted for a statutory certification scheme for both the expert asbestos removal worker and the expert asbestos removal supervisor. Naturally, our employees have a personal certificate. 

Noise Control

Workers and the environment must be protected from too much noise. From the point of view of working conditions and environmental management, noise control is a requirement. Bilfinger has a wide range of solutions for noise-reducing measures. Think of enclosures and acoustic wall and ceiling coverings: custom designed, delivered and installed. 

Fire Protection

Fire protection is indispensable for the integrity of installations and buildings. To properly protect them from fire, the structural elements in particular must be provided with adequate fire resistance. Important here are the preservation of stability, the exclusion of fire spread and continuing to meet the thermal requirements of the structural elements. Bilfinger's expertise is your guarantee for a tailor-made solution.

Digitalization and innovation

Digitalization and innovation

Bilfinger is constantly working on digitizing the processes surrounding our services. Transparency and efficiency are key here. In the area of scaffolding, important steps have been taken in the past few years, which are part of our strategy in the area of D & I (Digitalization & Innovation).

Digital transformation of processes, in a world in which transparency and speed are becoming increasingly important, is becoming an essential component for continuous innovation and development. Bilfinger is continuously working to optimize its processes, in which digitalization and the deployment of innovations play an important role. The goal is to provide transparency and insight into the entire process: from work execution to invoicing.

Contractor Portal

Bilfinger Industrial Services places high demands on the quality of both its own employees and those of contractors. With the Contractor Portal, Bilfinger has developed a system that stands for accuracy and completeness. Through our Contractor Portal, the subcontractor provides the prescribed data, such as identity documents, qualifications and certificates. Our Personnel Planning Department checks these for correctness and validity. 

When documents expire, the system alerts with an automatic notification.

  • The system stands for completeness and compliance of documents.
  • Time-intensive data entry is reduced (subcontractors do data entry themselves in the system).
  • The system automatically sends reminders for validity and validation of documents.
  • There is the option for connection to client's system (on site).
Client Portal

The latest development within our digitalization is Digital Worker Order Management with the Client Portal. With this client system, you can view all the data relevant to you regarding your scaffolding construction projects from Bilfinger. For example, the established KPIs, the financial contract agreements and an overview with the location of scaffolding on your site. The Client Portal provides you with an overview of the scaffolding on your site at your convenience. You can book scaffolding rentals and thereby sign them out for invoicing.

Finger Scan

At work sites, Bilfinger Industrial Services records work hours using the Finger Scan. This digital entry system for qualified personnel replaces handwritten lists of names and time sheets. An accurate record of hours worked is quick and easy to recall. Bilfinger employees spend less time on administration and can be on the job site more often. In addition, the Finger Scan ensures that only qualified, work-authorized employees are at work.

Scaffolding App

Bilfinger Industrial Services has introduced the digital work order with the Scaffolding App. This innovation makes it possible to keep all the information around a scaffolding project up-to-date in one digital file using a smartphone or tablet. Administration and invoicing are largely automated. Fast, efficient and error-free.

Scaffolding App: what are the benefits for you?

  • Creation of one digital file;
  • Supervision on the work;
  • Digital sign-off of work performed;
  • Efficient communication;
  • Complete transparency.
Insulation PrefApp

The Insulation PrefApp is a digital solution for drawing precast for insulation purposes. This app promotes standardization and optimization of making prefab insulation parts so that they can be delivered quickly and accurately by our Prefab Center in Roosendaal.

The Insulation PrefApp; what are the benefits for you?

  • Increased efficiency on projects; 
  • More accurate measurements and prefabrication - first time right; 
  • Increase knowledge and skills;
  • Transparency.

Successful closing of Stork acquisition strengthens market position in Europe – Bilfinger continues on its strategic course

  • Closing of the acquisition of Fluor’s industrial services business Stork with units in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany
  • Regional expansion in the Netherlands and Belgium consolidates Bilfinger’s market presence in line with its strategy and expands the range of services for customers
  • About 2,700 qualified specialists strengthen Bilfinger’s position in the industrial services business
  • Positive advice from social partners on the acquisition
  • Integration into the Bilfinger Group within one year

 

Mannheim / Rotterdam – Industrial services provider Bilfinger has further expanded its market position in Europe. The acquisition of parts of Fluor’s European industrial services business Stork has been successfully completed as of April 1, 2024 ("closing"). The signing took place in September 2023.

European authorities recently cleared the transaction, and social partners in the Netherlands issued a statement on the transaction as required by Dutch law, giving positive advice on the transaction.

“We are pleased to welcome our new colleagues who are now part of our extended family. Together, we offer our customers comprehensive solutions covering the entire service portfolio. This transaction brings us one step closer to our goal of becoming number 1 in efficiency and sustainability for our customers,” says Thomas Schulz, Group CEO of Bilfinger. “Step by step, we are delivering on our strategy to achieve our mid-term targets,” he adds.

The transaction comprises the operating units in the Netherlands, Belgium and in Germany, with a total of more than 2,700 employees and revenue of approximately €530 million. The minor adjacent US part (with about €20 million revenue) is still subject to approval by non-EU regulatory authorities.

The acquisition is in line with Bilfinger's strategy of strengthening its core business in a market where the Group is already well positioned. The transaction especially expands offerings in the areas of maintenance services, automation and mechanical services in the Netherlands and Belgium. By integrating these services into Bilfinger's existing offering, customers will have access to the full range of solutions to increase efficiency and sustainability from a single source. This enables Bilfinger to reduce the number of interfaces for customers. With immediate effect, the Group will have more than 5,000 employees in the Netherlands and Belgium. They will work together to help process industry customers enhance their efficiency and sustainability standards.

Stork is to be fully integrated into the Bilfinger Group within one year. This is ensured by the strong European tradition of both companies, their outstanding reputation in the market and their high standards of safety, quality and integrity.

Additional information regarding the integration, synergies and an updated outlook for 2024 will be presented at the Capital Markets Day, scheduled for June 12, 2024 in Frankfurt, Germany.
