For more than 85 years, Van Vliet has operated in environments where demolition carries significant technical, safety and reputational consequences. As industries expanded and installations aged, the need for responsible dismantling grew with them.
In refineries, chemical plants and heavy industrial facilities, demolition is not simply about removal. It is about preparation. Structure. Accountability.
Over time, Van Vliet became involved earlier in complex projects, bringing clarity and control from the outset. A disciplined approach that led to long-term partnerships with multinational clients.
What began as a demolition contractor evolved into a strategic partner.
