Almelo, June 19, 2025 – Sansidor is proud to announce that as of today, Ortageo is officially part of the Sansidor Group. This independent consulting firm, with offices in Almelo, Weurt, Gouda and Rolde, has specialized in soil investigation, geotechnical engineering, geohydrology, remediation supervision and asbestos inventory. Ortageo serves a broad clientele, including contractors, property developers, engineering firms, municipalities, water boards and other authorities within the construction, infrastructure and environmental sectors throughout the Netherlands.
Ortageo has built a strong reputation in providing thoughtful and independent advice. With their in-depth knowledge of subsurface and environmental risks, they contribute to the safe and responsible design of sites for living, working and recreation.
Their approach is technically sound, practically applicable and always tailored to the client’s specific situation. From preliminary investigation to execution, Ortageo offers support in the full range of soil issues, with an eye for safety, sustainability and cost efficiency.

Ortageo will continue to carry out its activities as customers are accustomed to. Daily management will remain in the hands of Eric Schildkamp (General Director) and Wim Hoitzing (Operational Director), thus ensuring continuity and quality.
