Field engineering
Bridging theory and practice
Field engineering
Nature restoration and integrated water management require a deep understanding of the area. Maps and models are valuable tools, but they don’t always show the full picture. Without up-to-date field observations, analyses remain incomplete and the risk of unrealistic or inefficient measures increases.
Our solution
Through our field engineers, Witteveen+Bos combines theoretical expertise with hands-on field experience.
Our ecologists, hydrologists and landscape architects go into the field to observe and understand systems. The data they collect provide a solid foundation for analyses, designs and recommendations.
Our approach
- measurement and observation: sampling, water level monitoring and inventories across all seasons and weather conditions;
- knowledge building: detailed insights into fauna, flora and water dynamics such as weirs, overflows and drainage;
- collaboration: joint field visits with managers and partners to exchange knowledge and create shared, realistic solutions;
- technology: using tools like QFIELD, drones, bat detectors and eDNA analysis for faster and more accurate data collection.
Added value for your project
Our field engineers make your studies and designs more accurate, realistic and efficient:
- merging theory and practice leads to actionable advice;
- fieldwork corrects where models fall short;
- designs are based on validated, up-to-date data;
- faster data collection reduces project timelines;
- solutions are supported by all involved stakeholders.
