Training courses
IRATA is an organization with a proven safe method for working at height. We are a proud member of IRATA and have been an IRATA certified training center for over 10 years. In our training center in Bergschenhoek we offer training for IRATA level 1, 2 and 3. Partly due to the atmosphere within the organization and the quality of our trainers, the success rate is well above 95%.
An IRATA certificate is valid for three years, but if you haven’t climbed for more than 6 months according to your logbook it is necessary to take a refresh course (otherwise your certificate is not valid). This way you can refresh your IRATA techniques within one day and when you’re finished you can safely work at height according to the IRATA guidelines again.
Safety comes first. The first step in working safely at height is therefore to become aware of the risks and dangers at height. In addition, it is also important to know which techniques and which materials are best suited to a particular situation. Our trainers would like share their knowledge with you from their experience in a pleasant and interactive way. Bilfinger Height Specialists offers training in the field of safe working at height for employees and operational managers.
When it comes to working at height, the safety of yourself, your colleagues and the environment comes first. If something goes wrong during a project, it is important to know how to carry out a rescue at height. How do you prepare a rescue plan? How do you carry out a rescue? And what do you do after a rescue? During our rescue at height training you will get the answers to these questions and a lot of practice.
When there are situations within your organization where specific training in the field of working at heights is needed, Bilfinger Height Specialists provides customized training. In consultation with you, a programme will be drawn up in which all your wishes will be discussed. The training can be given in our training center in Bergschenhoek or at a location of your choice.

Cooperation between TenneT and E-MERGE: Crucial grid expansion for renewable energy
To make the existing energy grid in the northern part of Noord-Holland in the Netherlands robust for the future and to meet the growing demand for transmission capacity - including for renewable energy - TenneT is carrying out necessary grid expansion. From the E-MERGE consortium, Bilfinger Engineering & Consultancy, Witteveen+Bos and Antea Group are involved in this grid expansion.
Currently, the three parties are working on a plan environmental impact report (Plan-MER) that examines a route for the required connections of a new 380KV network. This includes two new high-voltage substations to be built, new overhead and underground high-voltage connections, and a new high-voltage substation to be looped into an existing high-voltage connection. The final environmental and technical assessment documents for the project are now being written. Once the Plan-MER is ready, the Minister of Climate and Green Growth can decide on the route and location of the transmission towers and substations. After decision, work can continue the Basic Engineering for this project.
“We are proud to be working with Witteveen+Bos and Antea Group on this important project for TenneT,” says Ingo Gatzen, Regional Director at Bilfinger Engineering & Consultancy. “Grid congestion is a problem in the Netherlands and projects like this are hugely important to future-proof the high-voltage grid. With our High Voltage knowledge and team of technical specialists, we are in an excellent position to support customers in this area.”
