Sustainable construction starts below ground
The construction sector faces a clear challenge: building sustainably without compromising on quality, planning or constructability. Clients, developers and contractors are looking for solutions that contribute to their sustainability objectives while also fitting the practical realities of a construction project.
Vroom Funderingstechnieken therefore offers the option of carrying out foundation works either fully or partially emission-free. Using specialist foundation equipment, innovative energy solutions and many years of practical experience, we develop a suitable solution for every project.
We do not believe in standard solutions, but in a project-specific approach. For each project, our specialists therefore assess which emission-free execution strategy is the most appropriate from a technical, logistical and economic perspective.
Emission-free where possible. Practical where necessary.
Sustainability is not an objective in itself, but an integral part of successful project delivery. Vroom combines sustainable foundation techniques with the reliability, safety and execution capability our clients expect from us. This creates a realistic route towards emission-free foundation engineering, without unnecessary risks to planning, quality or budget.
Why choose zero-emission foundation engineering with Vroom?
Prepared for tomorrow’s requirements
Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in tenders, area developments and construction projects. By opting for an emission-free foundation solution, your project meets the growing demand for demonstrably sustainable construction methods.
One partner for both consultancy and execution
Our involvement starts as early as the tender and design stages. We provide advice on feasibility, energy supply, execution methodology and project risks. This provides early insight into the opportunities and implications of emission-free foundation engineering.
Tailored solutions for every construction site
Conditions vary from project to project. Available electrical capacity, logistics, construction phasing and the surrounding environment determine which solution is most suitable. We therefore develop a specific approach for every construction site, aligned with the project objectives.
Proven foundation techniques
Our emission-free approach can be applied to various foundation systems, including Vibro piles, DPA screw piles, DPA Plus screw piles and DPA Combi screw piles. This enables us to offer a suitable sustainable foundation solution for a wide range of projects.
Practical knowledge from project execution
Emission-free foundation engineering requires more than electric machinery alone. Energy supply, logistics, safety and project coordination are equally important. Thanks to our practical experience, we know how to successfully integrate these factors on the construction site.
For clients who want to move forward
Zero-emission foundation engineering is particularly relevant for property developers, construction companies, clients with CO2 reduction targets and tenders in which emission requirements play an important role.
Property developers
Relevance: supports sustainable area development and helps translate sustainability ambitions into concrete measures during the execution phase.
Contractors and construction companies
Relevance: provides a practical foundation solution that aligns with planning, safety and constructability requirements.
Clients with CO2 reduction targets
Relevance: makes emission reduction a demonstrable part of the foundation strategy.
Tenders with emission requirements
Relevance: strengthens the tender submission with a realistic and technically substantiated execution strategy.
Building a sustainable future together
The transition towards more sustainable construction starts with the foundations of your project. Vroom Funderingstechnieken helps clients translate sustainability ambitions into practical and technically feasible foundation solutions.

CO₂ Performance Ladder
At Vroom Funderingstechnieken, we consider it important to reduce our CO₂ emissions. We aim to contribute to a cleaner future. The CO₂ Performance Ladder helps us achieve this. It is a tool that shows how companies can reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. The objective we have set is aligned with the Dutch government’s targets for Clean and Zero-Emission Construction (SEB) 2050.
Using the CO₂ Performance Ladder, we work towards this goal step by step. We assess our energy consumption, our machinery and how we can work more efficiently. In this way, we ensure that our CO₂ emissions continue to decrease. We always assess our investments carefully. For each investment, we consider whether, under current market conditions and with the available technologies, it genuinely contributes to achieving our objectives. This also means that diesel-powered machinery may still be purchased in the near future if this is the most appropriate choice at that time. In every case, we assess whether the investment fits within our long-term ambitions.
Together with our partners and clients, we are committed to a more sustainable construction sector. After all, zero-emission construction is not only beneficial to our company, but also to society and the environment.

The objective, aligned with Clean and Zero-Emission Construction (SEB) 2050 and taking into account the purchase of diesel-powered machinery in the coming years, is as follows:
- 2026: 5% reduction → 6,121 tonnes
- 2030: 20% reduction → 5,150 tonnes
- 2040: 50% reduction → 3,223 tonnes
- 2050: 100% reduction → 0 tonnes
Measures agreed within Vroom to reduce CO₂ emissions
- Reducing CO₂ emissions by making our equipment fleet more sustainable
- Monitoring market developments and supply-chain collaboration within the sector
- Strengthening internal organisation and engagement with sustainability objectives
- Using sustainable HVO fuel as a transitional measure on a project-by-project basis
Measures already implemented to support the CO₂ reduction objective
- Purchase of electric mixers
- Purchase of two electric foundation machines (1500GLS)
- Option to power foundation machines using an EHPU (90DR)
- Purchase of an electric wheel loader
- Improving the sustainability of our office
Opportunities for individual contributions
- Carpooling to the construction site
- Limiting unnecessary idling of machinery
- Reducing the speed of wheel loaders on the construction site
- Organising the construction site efficiently so that the distances between the foundation machine, mixer, reinforcement cages and elements are not unnecessarily large.
