Reducing failure costs:
- Detail verification
- Deployment of expertise
is the difference in construction quality and cost.
Confidence you can build on
At Seconed, everything revolves around trust. For over 90 years, we have operated as an independent, ISO/IEC 17020:2012 Type A-accredited inspection body, specializing in technical inspections and quality assurance for construction projects. Whether it's residential, commercial, or infrastructure construction, we assess designs, perform inspections, and guide commissioning processes with an objective and proactive approach. This helps reduce (failure) costs and risks, ensures compliance, and safeguards structural safety at every stage of your project.
Added value through collaboration
As part of the SECO Group, we have access to an international network of technical experts — from structural stability and façade technology to fire safety and building services. This collaboration enables us to offer tailor-made solutions that meet not only the standards, but also your expectations.

Project Binck City Park is one of the largest and most complex inner-city developments in recent years. In this project, no fewer than seven different clients collaborated, each with their own requirements, standards, and interests. VORM acted as the coordinating and leading client.
The City Bridge in Nijmegen – officially called The Crossing – is one of the most iconic infrastructure projects in recent years. This bridge not only connects the northern and southern parts of the city, but also serves as a symbol of renewal and remembrance. Various stakeholders, each with different requirements and visions, worked closely together on this remarkable project.
The Afsluitdijk separates the IJsselmeer from the Wadden Sea and stands as an icon of Dutch hydraulic engineering. Completed in 1932, its primary functions are to ensure water safety from the Wadden Sea and manage water discharge from the IJsselmeer. Additionally, the Afsluitdijk serves as a crucial transport route, facilitating road traffic between the provinces of North Holland and Friesland, as well as enabling navigation between the Wadden Sea and the IJsselmeer.
The onshore wind farm in Reusel, consisting of five wind turbines, is a great example of sustainable area development. For this project, H4A was responsible for the design, construction, and technical assessment of the reinforced concrete foundations. This specialized process placed a strong emphasis on reliability and precision.
Seconed oversees the entire process — from design to insurance — with the goal of reducing risks, ensuring quality, and making the process as smooth as possible.
