Monitoring is a crucial aspect to improve the understanding of the natural water environment and related processes. Availability of sufficient high quality data sets is a key element to solve our client’s questions. Therefore, IMDC offers versatile monitoring services and consultancy, assisting clients with any of their water-related monitoring needs.
Water related projects are the core business of IMDC. Consequently hydraulic design is required in many projects. Another important part of these water related projects is the geotechnical aspect, in particular for hydraulic designs.
To aid our clients manage their water resources, assist them in making informed decisions or show them the impact of events or actions. We build digital products that visualize, calculate and predict water processes and events.
Both in the form of our own Synapps platform, or with complete custom software applications, we digitally go where our clients need us.
High-end services in hydraulic analysis of ports, marine environment and dredging.
Driven by outstanding expertise in hydraulic engineering and numerical modelling.
Since the first offshore wind development in Belgium in 2000 (C-Power offshore wind farm | IMDC), IMDC has assisted project developers, transmission grid operators, national authorities, marine contractors and other consultants through the different phases – from feasibility to sustainable decommissioning - of their Blue Energy projects:
Coastal and estuarine zones are particularly sensitive to pressure from climate drivers, population and increasing exploitation of resources. Our challenge is to deeply understand the dynamics of and interactions between natural and anthropogenic processes, and to aspire to a sustainable coastal and estuarine management.
Water resources are not endless, but must nevertheless support huge and ever increasing social and economic needs. Structured water resources management is therefore of major importance to ensure them to sustainably comply with these needs.
To fulfill its vision, IMDC consistently supports research innovation through both internal and collaborative R&I projects. With a focus on:
Decarbonization, developing tools and methods for reducing the carbon footprint of the lifecycle of water infrastructure projects.
Climate resilience, enhancing climate resilience in infrastructure, buildings, urban networks, and natural areas to ensure inhabitants' safety and well-being while protecting water ecosystems from climate change impacts.
AI and Digitalization, harnessing AI and IT to optimize water engineering projects, creating innovative platforms for better visualization, modeling, decision-making, and communication.
