Its role EPC
G. van der Ven B.V. Aannemingsbedrijf is a Dutch civil engineering and construction contractor specializing in infrastructure and water-related projects. Headquartered in Brakel, Gelderland, the company was founded in 1968 as a family business and remains under family ownership following a generational transition in 2021.
It operates primarily throughout the Netherlands, delivering integrated solutions in ground, road, and water construction (Grond-, Weg-, en Waterbouw), including dikes, quay walls, pipelines, nature projects, and public space development. Additional expertise covers restoration of historical structures such as sluices, bridges, and forts; utility buildings like bus depots and technical facilities for the water sector; and water treatment plants and pumping stations combining civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering.
The firm emphasizes sustainable practices, including emission-free construction sites, and has completed more than 1,000 projects for public authorities and private clients. With 51-200 employees, it positions itself as a versatile mid-sized player in the Dutch civil engineering and infrastructure sector, contributing to major initiatives such as dike reinforcements, port developments, and the Porthos CO2 transport and storage project where it constructed the cooling water intake building at the compressor station.

Five connected CCS projects (Porthos, Aramis, CO₂next, DRC, DSC) will capture, transport and store CO₂ under the North Sea and link industry across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
Tender opened for 200 km CO2 pipeline, linking Maasvlakte to offshore storage, aiding decarbonization. Further tenders for installation and design to follow. Operational by 2030.
A 20-km CO2 pipeline is laid and entrenched under the North Sea, connecting Rotterdam's port to storage reservoirs over 3 km below the seabed.
D-HUBN is an offshore platform for CO2 distribution, using hybrid energy. It coordinates CO2 transport to storage sites, focusing on safety and efficient operations.
The new unit will use Cryocap™ technology to capture CO₂ from a hydrogen plant, transport it via Porthos, and store it in North Sea gas fields, reducing emissions by 2.5 million tons annually.
Porthos will invest €1.3 billion in a CO2 transport and storage system in Rotterdam, operational by 2026. It will store 2.5 Mton CO2 annually for 15 years, aiding Dutch climate goals.
