Knowledge and Innovation come first

IMDC keeps systematically expanding its knowledge through research and project studies, which are executed in close collaboration with our clients as well as with universities and research institutions. All contracts and projects, whether financed publicly, privately or from research budgets, contribute to the consolidation of our data and knowledge base.

Driven by social responsibility

Seas, estuaries, and rivers are crucial for society, providing fresh water, transport, and blue energy. They support densely populated areas but face increasing risks from climate change, sea level rise, extreme weather, and population growth. At IMDC, we are committed to developing smart solutions to mitigate these risks and achieve sustainable management of our natural water resources for the benefit of people, the environment, and society.  

Expertise in water is our core business

The IMDC team comprises experts in flood risk assessment, hydraulic modeling, coastal safety, sedimentation, dredge engineering, blue energy, river training, inland navigation, port infrastructure, offshore installations, water basin management, groundwater flow, cost-benefit analysis, and data analytics. We prioritize quality and client interests in every project, ensuring excellence through our ISO-9001 certified quality control system

our VALUES

our MISSION and VISION

"Since I have been appointed as General Manager three years ago, I’ve had the pleasure to dive and discover IMDC from the inside, which is a formidable company in many respects and whose merits and successes have been praised throughout its history, which began in 1982. All this would not have been possible without the professionalism of our colleagues, but also without the trust that you, dear clients and partners, have placed in us throughout our journey, which in a way is also a piece of your story. The evolution that IMDC has experienced is the result of a culture that combines entrepreneurship and the search for technological and scientific excellence in the service of our clients and their challenges, all in a family and caring spirit. The continuous search for innovative, yet pragmatic solutions in our sector is still part of IMDC's values. They are one of the pillars of the legacy that our founders and predecessors have left us. We thank them for this and will continue to carry these values forward for decades to come. "
