The BRIAM group has a mission to accelerate the global transition to responsible and innovative bulk storage.

The group consists of 2 sister companies:

The new entity SILBLOXX, since 2021, is the production arm of the group. SILBLOXX also aims to contribute to a circular economy by focusing on pre-engineered, modular and reusable silo components. SILBLOXX has launched its own product line of standard silos (made to order).

Incumbent SCE continues to strive to be the preferred construction and engineering partner for the global feed and food industry and is the specialist in custom made silos (engineered to order).

Both entities operate under the family holding company BRIAM which houses central services such as Finance, HR, Marketing, Supply chain and purchasing.

Profile

Structural & Civil Engineering

Ney & Partners is a team of engineers and architects working on the conception, materialisation and engineering of structure and infrastructure. Founded in 1996 by civil engineer and architect Laurent Ney, the office today consists of a main office in Brussels, with offices in Namur, Luxembourg, Tokyo, Bordeaux, Delft and Hanoi.

Our areas of activity

Beyond our core activity of engineering consultancy in civil and structural engineering, we have developed a series of specialisations centred around the conception of structure and infrastructure.

With regards infrastructure, Ney & Partners have gained international renown as designers of bridges and footbridges, sports infrastructure, railway and tramway stations and, more generally, all that relates to urban development.

With regards special structures, we develop canopies, glazed roofs, tensile membranes and artists’ sculpture. These projects are all characterised by the complexity of their geometry and structural analysis.

Our timber engineering – division Ney & Partners WOW, unique in Belgium, works closely with industry and is able to offer a full range of professional services, from design to completion.

Sustainability is at the heart of our preoccupations. Sunsoak Design develops solar structures that incorporate photovoltaic technologies in architectural structures and leads the internal sustainabilty chart of Ney & Partners.

Special glazing, glazed structures and architectural glass elements are developed by Ney & Partners SUN.

Product design and development with industry in the field of infrastructure led us to the design of canopies, of footbridges, of balustrades, street-lighting and road-sign structures.

WHO ARE WE?

In every urban or landscape project that it is a part of, OMGEVING not only seeks out the spatial but also the societal value it can add. OMGEVING lets this commitment filter through into its research, design, and its construction work. The design company sustains the human scale of its projects through the principle of cooperative collaboration. Collectivity – in both substantive and process-oriented terms – is a key concept for OMGEVING. Teams that have been carefully composed for each project create a network of strategic alliances, through which disciplines and areas of activity are drawn together according to requirements, both internally and from external parties.

This constant exchange of knowledge gives rise to comprehensive contextual analyses, critical questions, lively discussions, integrated approaches, surprisingly creative and innovative but still feasibly realistic and technically correct solutions, trains of thought based on alternative approaches, personal relationships, a receptive attitude, and  intensive dialogue with our public or private clients. Trust is an essential part of such cross-pollination – the ingenious final outcome is never due to a single brain, but to many individuals collaborating. This gives us the space to flexibly employ scenarios, visions, and interim situations, while it also allows us to disseminate the knowledge we have gained with a degree of wilfulness in public debates.

And so, since 1973 it is not only the projects but the horizontal structure of OMGEVING itself that has been based on dialogue, cooperation, and cross-pollination. Over eighty experienced and dedicated spatial planners, landscape architects, urban planners, geographers, engineers and just as many personalities make up our two fields of activity – Landscape architecture and Urbanism. The clear but dynamic structure provides an overview of the wide range of large and small-scale projects that this independent and multidisciplinary design company with offices in Antwerp and Ghent takes on. In the city, in the suburbs or far beyond, OMGEVING tackles complex spatial issues and challenges on a wide array of scales – from cross-border spatial visions for landscaping plans, parks, and public spaces through to buildings, complex planning processes, and street furniture. Our approach allows us to immediately assess design interventions at a larger scale in respect of their possible consequences at a lower level, and vice versa too. It’s not just about the scale, it’s about the typology, the social impact and the street-level experience too. Every decision is a part of a flexible and results-oriented vision.
