Uniform and safe workwear for De Waal Solid Foundations NV
About De Waal Solid Foundations NV
De Waal Solid Foundations NV, with locations in Lokeren and Ostend, is a Belgian company that has specialized in civil engineering and infrastructure for many years. They work on impressive projects, such as bridges, locks, and quay walls, both domestically and internationally. Safety is always the top priority, as their employees often work in challenging environments, such as near waterways and petrochemical sites. De Waal Solid Foundations NV needed workwear that met strict safety standards while protecting their employees in various conditions. They asked Van Moer to find a suitable solution.
Challenge: Safety and uniformity on the work floor
The employees of De Waal Solid Foundations NV work daily in high-risk environments where safety is always the number one priority. For some projects, fire-resistant clothing is required, while in other locations, protection against chemicals is necessary. Since employees often work outdoors, the clothing also needed to be resistant to rain, wind, and other weather conditions. Additionally, there are colleagues who weld, which requires extra protection against welding sparks.
The challenge for Van Moer was to provide workwear that met all these requirements while also offering a uniform appearance, so that De Waal Solid Foundations NV employees would be easily recognizable at various construction and work sites.
Why De Waal Solid Foundations NV chose Van Moer
In 2021, Van Moer first came into contact with De Waal through a phone conversation with their safety advisor. This conversation led to further meetings to develop a solution that met both safety standards and the specific needs of De Waal. In the end, De Waal chose Van Moer because of their experience and ability to provide clothing that not only ensures safety but also contributes to the professional appearance of their employees on the work floor..
The result: Safety and recognition
Since partnering with Van Moer, the employees of De Waal Solid Foundations NV wear uniform workwear, giving them a professional and recognizable look. Whereas employees previously chose their own clothing, everyone now wears the same set, tailored to the specific safety requirements of their work environment. This not only improves safety but also makes De Waal Solid Foundations NV more visible and recognizable, regardless of the work location.
The clothing meets all necessary requirements, from fire-resistant materials to reflective details that enhance visibility. This ensures that employees can work safely and be visible, even in the most challenging conditions.
What does the future hold?
The day-to-day collaboration between De Waal Solid Foundations NV and Van Moer runs smoothly. Orders are confirmed quickly, and deliveries arrive on time. In the future, the ordering and confirmation process will be further optimized. More specifically, the clothing package is being expanded today to include rainwear.
In the long term, discussions are ongoing about transferring inventory management to Van Moer. Currently, De Waal Solid Foundations NV still handles this themselves, but they are looking to be relieved of this responsibility. Van Moer, as the client’s partner, is open to this possibility.
A satisfied customer

The uniform and safe workwear not only provides better protection for their employees but also gives them a professional appearance. Any questions or concerns are resolved quickly and efficiently, and the daily collaboration with Van Moer is running smoothly.
