and its affiliated company DCS Limited.   SENES is a Canadian-based firm
specializing in environmental, radiological and risk assessment services for the

and remediation services and together they have approximately 250 employees and
annual gross revenues of CAN$31 million (€23 million). SENES has six offices
spread throughout Canada, an office in the United States and majority interest
in a subsidiary with four offices in India.



The addition of SENES to the ARCADIS presence in Canada greatly enhances
ARCADIS' services to its Canadian clients as well as multi-national clients who
have interests in Canada. In addition, SENES's specialized expertise in
environmental,   radiological, social, and health impact assessments will
complement ARCADIS' services outside of Canada. In the developing Indian and
mid-east environmental market, SENES has a growing presence serving large
private sector clients.



"SENES's environmental expertise in the energy, oil & gas, nuclear and mining
sectors will further enhance the support we provide our clients in Canada and
beyond," said Steve Blake, CEO of ARCADIS U.S. and member of ARCADIS Executive
Board. "Together we strengthen our leadership position to bring innovative
solutions to our clients' toughest challenges while minimizing impacts to the
environment."



Don Gorber, current and founding president of SENES, added: "SENES and its
affiliated company DCS have a long standing tradition of offering high quality
services to the energy, environmental and remediation sectors around the world.
The combination of SENES with ARCADIS joins similar minded organizations and
will allow us to expand into technical and geographic areas that we couldn't
secure on our own."
