BDP forms engineering division
Source: Breakbulk.com, November 11, 2008 – BDP Project Logistics established an engineering division to support its global activities.
The unit will provide professional route surveys, method statements and infrastructure-related structural engineering calculations, as well as technical methods for lifting and positioning heavy-lift equipment.
“These services, among others, are increasingly required by our target verticals, such as EPC contractors, power generation, mining and the chemical and petrochemical industries,” said Luc Van Heygen, BDP project logistics managing director for America and Europe.
“Establishing a dedicated division to provide these value-added services makes us one of very few project forwarding companies able to offer in-house engineering solutions to increasingly complex infrastructure problems.”
Hendrik Wagner heads the division at its regional headquarters, which is currently in Nuremberg, Germany, and will move in January to Leipzig.
Wagner was most recently senior project engineer and branch office manager for the Setzpfandt Group, a structural and civil engineering firm. He holds a degree in civil engineering from Bauhaus-University Weimar.
