Heerema Engineering Solutions

Heerema Engineering Solutions (HES) believes that a new way of working, in which automation plays a key role, increases quality, reduces human error, keeps cost low and most importantly: allows engineers, to engineer the tools for the future. This because we love engineering, but at the same time engineering should never be the goal. In the end we are passionate about delivering projects that the world wants.  When we started HES in 2019, the oil industry was recovering from a terrible crisis. We worked on the most challenging projects for major oil companies. Deepest water, heaviest pipe, largest EPCI: these are all terms that we got used to. And we are immensely proud and grateful that we had the opportunity to contribute to these projects.  We also got used to a way of working that is no longer sustainable. We started HES because we believe we have to change the way the industry works . This is ambitious and we understand the need of our clients in meeting demanding Codes and Standards.  These two areas are not in conflict. We believe that with a new way of working, focusing on engineering automation, we can play a role in Engineering the Solutions for the future. Creating sustainable, lasting impact in the offshore industry by a strong focus on engineering automation. And whilst we do this we want to learn and have fun.
