Leen van Bloois

In the industrial environment of the Port of Rotterdam, pipeline corridors are filled with cables and pipelines—some carrying hazardous materials. This makes the construction of the Porthos onshore pipeline a complex challenge.

Leen van Bloois, technical manager at LBITA B.V., was brought in as an expert by Denys, one of Porthos’ main contractors, to ensure that the construction work for the Porthos onshore pipeline is carried out safely and carefully. “During the construction of the Porthos pipeline, you’re constantly encountering other pipelines. Our job is to make sure that the work is done safely and in a way that preserves the integrity of the existing cables and pipelines.”
