Our colleague Alexander Cattrysse will present a case study of an unexpected cultural heritage discovery during the 3rd-offshore-wind-symposium in London, organised by The Geological Society. He will outline the actions taken to mitigate the impact of the find on the project, as well as measures implemented to avoid damage to the wreck. Finally, he will highlight lessons
- What happens after water leaves an outfall? Whether it is treated wastewater, cooling water, desalination brine or another effluent, the impact of an outfall discharge depends on how substances disperse, dilute, transform and interact with the surrounding marine environment. At IMDC, numerical plume dispersion modelling turns complex hydrodynamic and water quality processes into clear impact maps, supporting environmental impact assessments, outfall design and more sustainable coastal and offshore management.

- Really excited to see #IMDC contributing to the #TREASURE_EU Living Lab in Nieuwpoort! 🌊♻️ In this project our work focuses on the Yser estuary, predicting plastic pathways to support the optimal placement of the MARC (Marine River Cleaner) and improve the efficiency of the bubble curtain in guiding plastics towards the catcher. A big shout-out to the TREASURE team and all partners involved, and to #Interreg North Sea Programme for supporting the collaboration that makes this possible. Looking forward to seeing what we can
- Congratulations to Elia Group, together with DEME Group, and Jan De Nul Group, on reaching this impressive milestone for the Princess Elisabeth Island. A significant step forward in delivering the world's first energy island and enabling the future integration of offshore renewable energy in Belgium. At IMDC, we are particularly proud to have been part of this journey as Owner's Engineer for Elia Group, in partnership with CDR International, Svasek Hydraulics and TRACTEBEL. From the earliest stages of the project, our experts
- Proud to see the work of our colleagues Kai Chu and Boudewijn Decrop featured in the Copernicus Marine Service Marine Dataviz Challenge 2026 online gallery. At IMDC, we develop and apply water-quality models to better understand marine pollution, nutrient dynamics, algal blooms, oxygen levels, and other processes affecting aquatic environments.
