BAM Infratechniek acquired the Ravesteyn companies in
Lopik during the year under review. With approximately
180 employees, Ravesteyn operates in the
telecommunications infrastructure market in the
Netherlands and Belgium.
BAM Infratechniek’s customers include almost all
telecommunications, gas, electricity, water and heating
network operators. The company also works for
organisations such as the Dutch Directorate-General for
Public Works and Water Management, local and
provincial authorities, ProRail, Shell, Gasunie and Vopak.
In 2009, work started on the construction of an
underground natural gas buffer near Zuidwending for
Gasunie, as well as on the design and construction of a
tank storage facility in Amsterdam for Vopak. Working
under the BAM Infra flag, BAM Infratechniek is working
with other BAM companies on a range of
multidisciplinary projects, including Sporen in Arnhem
for ProRail.
BAM Infratechniek continues to focus on offering a
full-service package from design to management and
maintenance, which means that the company is
self-sufficient in offering the full range of services to its
customers. The key factors for success are reliability,
engineering capacity and a sound, in-house organisation
to arrange project implementation and repairs.

The main office in Breda is the base for all new-build and
renovation projects. BAM Rail also has branches in
Dordrecht (plant and equipment), Eindhoven and
Rotterdam. The company has a staff of approximately
900.
BAM Rail works closely with other BAM companies and
this deployment of combined experience and expertise
resulted in various successful projects in 2009, such as the
renovation of the track on a 340-metre-long bridge over
the River Maas near Ravenstein in the province of
Noord-Brabant. Group-wide co-operation was also the
basis for BAM Rail’s successful completion of the extensive
and complex renovation of the Velser Railway Tunnel in
August. BAM Rail is one of the BAM companies involved in
the Sporen project in Arnhem, for which work began in
2009. Project completion is expected at the end of 2012.
BAM Rail also works with other BAM companies outside
the Netherlands. BAM Rail Ltd, for example, which is the
result of co-operation with the Irish civil engineering
company BAM Contractors, is currently building a
4.2 kilometre-long tram line in Dublin. BAM Rail is laying
20 kilometres of tram line in Edinburgh in Scotland and in
Duffel, near Antwerp, BAM Rail is carrying out
miscellaneous rail work for group company CEI-De Meyer.
BAM Rail has also formed a joint venture with Betonac to
build a municipal railway line (metro) near Charleroi.
