      <title>ARCADIS COMPLETES FORMAL SAFETY ASSESSMENT FOR WORLD’S LARGEST NAVIGATIONAL ROUTEING MEASURE OFF THE DUTCH COAST </title>
      <description><![CDATA[

ARCADIS has completed a Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) study for a group of
stakeholders led by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment,
Rijkswaterstaat, the Port of Rotterdam and the Port of Amsterdam. The study
assessed the safety of shipping in the context of numerous wind park
developments located off the coast of the Netherlands.

The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, with a number of
offshore sector stakeholders, has been developing spatial plans for the North
Sea to facilitate the development of offshore wind farms.

After being appointed in 2010 to conduct an initial FSA, ARCADIS analysed a
series of routeing variations for shipping off the Dutch coast, to identify the
best possible layout of wind parks from multiple variants. The assessment, which
was the world&rsquo;s largest navigational routeing measure ever undertaken, was
a critical part of the overall project to facilitate safe and efficient
navigation within close proximity to the wind parks. It will also ensure the
safe protection of the wind turbines themselves, as well as improve a number of
inefficiencies caused by the current route system.

ARCADIS initially undertook Hazard Identification Studies (HAZID), which were
used...]]></description>

      <title>ARCADIS HELPS UK'S DEBT MANAGEMENT OFFICE DRIVE 40% REDUCTION IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

The UK Debt Management Office (DMO) has been working alongside ARCADIS, a
leading provider of project and cost management services, to reduce its overall
energy consumption in line with Government-wide sustainability targets.

In response to the Government&rsquo;s 10% carbon reduction commitment, during
2010/2011 the DMO reduced its electrical energy consumption by 40.8%, saving
over £16,000. CO2 emissions were also reduced by an impressive 25.8%. The DMO
has also successfully reduced their Display Energy Certificate rating from 219
to 161, which has shown a clear improvement in the building&rsquo;s energy
performance. The DMO are already looking to further enhance energy efficiency
going forward, and ARCADIS has assisted in putting together a clear plan of
action for the remainder of 2011 and beyond.

This initiative began in 2009 when ARCADIS partnered with the DMO to target
sustainability improvements and implement energy saving initiatives. These
included the installation of automatic lighting and efficient alternatives,
internal staff awareness campaigns, and the introduction of an energy log book.
ARCADIS also collated energy consumption data to make it easier to see where
savings can be made.

London, 15 February 2010: ARCADIS, the international consultancy, design,
engineering and management services company, announced today that it will take
the role of Principle Consultant for a sustainable jet fuel plant to be
developed by Solena Group in partnership with British Airways – the first of
its kind in Europe.

ARCADIS will advise on and manage the delivery of the project, from managing the
site selection for the self-contained plant to ensuring that the construction is
completed in a timely and cost-effective manner.

The aviation fuel is produced from plasma gasification of biomass into BioSynGas
which is then converted by Fischer Tropsch into biojet fuel. The plant can
process all types of biomass and residue feedstock which will mainly be sourced
from local waste management facilities. The process produces no waste products
other than an environmentally-benign slag that can be used as construction
aggregate.

US-based Solena Group is the developer and owner of this technology and is
partnering with British Airways on this project. To date the Solena team has
been involved in the design or operation of most of the largest plasma
