Products & services

Its service offerings include advisory, architecture and urbanism, asset management, design and engineering, environmental services, and program and project management; work spans the lifecycle of natural and built assets.[8][1] Its program-management services include project and construction management, while its broader work includes energy-transition planning and grid-related services.[9]+2

Arcadis reports revenue by Global Business Area rather than by individual service offering. In FY2025, Resilience generated €1,423 million (38% of net revenue), Places €1,337 million (36%), Mobility €906 million (24%), and Intelligence €94 million (2%).[5] [1]+19

Company history

ARCADIS traces its origins to the Netherlands, where Nederlandsche Heidemaatschappij was founded on 5 January 1888 to reclaim land for agriculture. It expanded into water and infrastructure services in 1959 and urban development in 1960, then split into two entities in 1974.[29][30]

A 1993 merger with U.S. environmental firm Geraghty & Miller marked a major step in its international expansion. The company listed in Amsterdam in 1995 and adopted the Arcadis name in 1997. It subsequently broadened its architecture, design, environmental and engineering capabilities through acquisitions including RTKL in 2007, Malcolm Pirnie in 2009, EC Harris in 2011, Langdon & Seah in 2012, and Hyder Consulting and Callison in 2014.[29]+3

In 2022, Arcadis acquired IBI Group, DPS Group and Giftge Consulting, extending its capabilities in digital services, advanced technology facilities and specialist engineering.[29][30] [29]+3
