Safe, uniform workwear for De Waal Solid Foundations
De Waal Solid Foundations NV, with offices in Lokeren and Ostend, is a Belgian company specializing in civil engineering and infrastructure projects. Their teams work on impressive structures such as bridges, locks and quay walls, both in Belgium and internationally. Safety is always a top priority, as employees often operate in demanding environments such as waterways and petrochemical sites. To ensure the safety and protection of their workforce, De Waal Solid Foundations NV needed workwear that complies with strict safety standards and performs reliably in a variety of conditions. They turned to Van Moer to develop the right solution.
Challenge
Safety and uniformity in the workplace.
The employees of De Waal Solid Foundations NV work every day in high-risk environments, where safety is always the top priority. For some projects, flame-retardant clothing is required, while other locations demand protection against chemical substances. Because employees often work outdoors, the clothing also needs to withstand rain, wind and other weather conditions. In addition, some colleagues perform welding tasks, which require extra protection against welding sparks.
The challenge for Van Moer was to provide workwear that combines all these requirements while also ensuring a uniform appearance, allowing the employees of De Waal Solid Foundations NV to be easily recognised across different construction and work sites.
Why De Waal Solid Foundations NV chooses Van Moer.
In 2021, Van Moer first came into contact with De Waal through a phone conversation with their prevention advisor. This initial discussion led to further meetings to jointly develop a solution that would meet both the required safety standards and the specific needs of De Waal.
Ultimately, De Waal chose Van Moer because of its experience and its ability to provide clothing that is not only safe, but also contributes to the professional appearance of their employees on site.
Result
Since partnering with Van Moer, the employees of De Waal Solid Foundations NV have been wearing uniform workwear, creating a professional and recognisable appearance. Previously, employees often made their own choices regarding clothing, but today everyone wears the same set, tailored to the specific safety requirements of their working environment. This not only improves safety, but also makes De Waal Solid Foundations NV more visible and recognisable, regardless of the work location.
The clothing meets all necessary requirements, from flame-retardant materials to reflective details that enhance visibility. This ensures that employees can work safely and remain clearly visible, even under the most challenging conditions.
What’s the future?
The day-to-day collaboration between De Waal Solid Foundations NV and Van Moer runs smoothly. Orders are confirmed quickly and deliveries arrive neatly on time. Looking ahead, both parties are working on further optimising the ordering and confirmation process. As a first step, the clothing package is now being expanded to include rainwear.
In the longer term, discussions are ongoing about transferring stock management to Van Moer. At present, De Waal Solid Foundations NV still manages its own inventory, but the company would also like to be relieved of this responsibility. As a trusted partner, Van Moer is open to supporting them in this next step.
A satisfied customer.
De Waal Solid Foundations NV is very satisfied with the collaboration. The uniform and safe workwear not only provides better protection for their employees, but also gives them a professional appearance. Any questions or remarks are handled quickly and efficiently, and the daily cooperation with Van Moer runs smoothly and to full satisfaction.
De Waal Solid Foundations NV looks forward to continuing a long-term partnership with Van Moer.
