<p>Turgis Consulting has been rebranded as Royal HaskoningDHV Mining - to align with the larger parent company RoyalHaskoningDHV (RHDHV). <br> <br> RHDHV Mining (Turgis) continues to offer specialised technical professional consulting services to mining companies and financial institutions across the globe. The company remains privately owned and independent of all manufacturers and equipment suppliers. <br> <br> RHDHV Mining (Turgis) is proudly objective and innovative in its work, and is dedicated to the sustainable development of the mining industry. Founded in 1990 by Alex du Plessis, initial work was focused on assisting mining companies in the design and implementation of hydropower systems, and mining supply companies in developing value-add products and services for mining clients. Turgis has grown steadily over the years, focussing on providing clients with integrated, multi-disciplinary solutions to mining challenges. The company always sought to ensure that its work output was to the highest international standards. During the 1990s, Turgis focussed specifically on nurturing expertise in underground hard-rock mining and more recently expanded its multi-disciplinary service offering with the addition of environmental engineering and mineral processing capabilities, and in addressing all commodities, both in surface and underground mines. <br> <br> In 2008, Turgis merged with a large Dutch infrastructure engineering company, DHV Group BV. In 2012, DHV and Royal Haskoning officially merged and rebranded to form Royal HaskoningDHV (RHDHV). The merger not only expanded the Turgis global footprint but also the expertise that Turgis can make available to its clients, particularly in mining support infrastructure.</p> <h3>Specialties</h3> <p> Feasibility studies, Design, Independent review to small and large, Surface and underground mines, Dynamic Simulation, Hydropower, Asset Valuation, Operational Support, Technical Audits, Detailed Design, Geotechnical Engineering, Financial Modelling </p>

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) is a global practice of architects, designers, engineers, and planners, responsible for some of the world’s most technically and environmentally advanced buildings and significant public spaces. The firm’s approach is highly collaborative, and its interdisciplinary team is engaged in a wide range of international projects, with creative studios based across the globe. In 2026, SOM was named one of the Most Innovative Companies in Architecture by Fast Company and received the Equality 100 Award: Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. The firm’s portfolio includes numerous innovative landmark towers, including the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, One World Trade Center in New York, and Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai, as well as large-scale urban planning initiatives that integrate density, mobility, and sustainability—including the award-winning Sultan Haitham City in Muscat, Oman, and the recently unveiled masterplan for Bradfield City, Australia’s first new city in more than a century.

B is the sum of four studio divisions called B-architecten, B-bis, B-city and B-juxta. At B-architecten, we design sustainable buildings that enhance both the urban and the open space. Back in 1997, Evert Crols, Dirk Engelen and Sven Grooten set up an independent office for architecture: B-architecten was born. The three had met during their education in Antwerp and Amsterdam. At the internationally oriented Berlage Institute, it became clear that Evert, Dirk and Sven shared a common design interest. Today, the office is located in Antwerp and Brussels. Ten years after the foundation of B-architecten, they started a new initiative together with Sebastiaan Leroy: B-bis architecten became an office that focuses on small architectural projects, residential interior design, offices and shops, scenographies for exhibitions and performing arts, temporary installations and furniture design. In 2020, B-city was launched as a third B-platform with the aim to shape and supervise complex urban projects. The core of its ambition is to work on large-scale projects that carry the potential of becoming new city districts. Today, B-architecten, B-bis and B-city have naturally grown into an office of more than 60 people. Each B-team has its particular focus and way of functioning, yet they all share a distinct innovative view on the variety of projects the B-platforms stand for.
