Working at Infram Hydren

Experience: Maarten Overduin

Consultant at Infram Hydren

With my background in Civil and Hydraulic Engineering, I fit perfectly within the Infram Hydren team. After completing my BSc in Civil Engineering at the University of Twente and MSc in Hydraulic Engineering at the TU Delft, I started at Infram Hydren and have not regretted it for a moment. The fields in which we are active give me every opportunity to use my technical knowledge and skills at various clients. In addition, because of the many innovations we work on, there is plenty of opportunity to expand our personal knowledge and experience.

“Being of value outside, but also inside. That characterises Infram Hydren.”

— Maarten Overduin, Consultant

No two days are the same

Infram Hydren operates in the world of hydraulic engineering, research and innovation. My work takes place in all these areas, so it is very varied. For example, I am a technical consultant to the Aa and Maas Water Board, for support in assessing all primary flood defence systems for safety. In addition, at Infram Hydren we carry out a great deal of practical research with, for example, the wave overtopping simulator and the sod pulling device. This gives our clients a good idea of the actual strength of their dike revetments. I am also participating in a great innovation in the ‘Multi-year Field Measurements Ems Dollart’ project, where we use laser scanners to measure wave run-up during storms.

Responsibility within a pleasant team

At Infram Hydren, you are immediately given a great deal of responsibility for the quality and arrangement of your work. If you cannot figure something out, your colleagues are always ready to help. For example, there is a club of young Infram employees who regularly meet for peer coaching. In addition, you will notice that you are not only of value within your team, but also to other colleagues within Infram. There is always a good atmosphere in our closely knit Infram Hydren team and enough room for each other. So I felt at home straight away, which makes going to go to work every day a pleasure.

About Infram Hydren

Infram has been working on sustainable solutions since 1994. We do that in the areas of water, space, mobility and energy. By establishing connections between parties, content and interests, we achieve supported decision-making and results.

Infram Hydren has been the trade name for Infram’s technical activities since 2019. Infram Hydren is an integral part of Infram and is a specialist in the field of flood defences. We work on sustainable and efficient flood protection. We do this by providing specialist advice and by being at the forefront of developments such as initiating and implementing research and innovation.

We are located in Maarn (province of Utrecht). In the past we were located in the former hydraulic laboratory in Voorst. This is also where the roots of Infram Hydren lie. Our employees are familiar with hydraulic engineering, civil engineering, spatial representation (e.g. GIS) and the development and application of various models and tools (e.g. in Matlab and Python). This diversity of competencies makes us the specialist for the various tasks of our clients: the water boards, Rijkswaterstaat, research institutes and contracting.
