Singapore

Witteveen+Bos South-East Asia Pte. Ltd. (WBSEA) was established in June 2014 with a Singapore-based office of highly skilled engineers and consultants. The Singapore office continues to serve local public and private clients in the fields of water, environment, construction and infrastructure and acts as a knowledge and business hub for our sister office in Indonesia and for projects being carried out in South-East Asia.

Our team aims to achieve total carbon neutrality, with plans in place to offset our carbon emissions by replanting mangrove forests. To do this, we have joined up with LooLa Komunitas.

But that wouldn’t feel as though we were really making a difference, which is why we’re instead planting 570 mangrove trees. This also immediately provides us with a pilot from which we can learn for other projects.’
