ARNHEM, The Netherlands, November 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the international consultancy, design and engineering company, today signs the contract with Region Venlo Floriade 2012 for the design and construction of the Floriade park for the world horticultural fair that is organized in the Netherlands every ten years. The amount associated with this assignment totals EUR 40 million. For this sum, ARCADIS will provide project management, design, engineering and contracting services for the Floriade Park. ARCADIS-subsidiary Copijn is a member of the project team and will make the functional, esthetical, horticultural and civil design. Floriade is held in 2012 in the Dutch town of Venlo. The central theme for the meeting will be Living nature. From the perspective that horticulture is a key factor in the creation of quality of life, the Floriade Park will consist of five thematic fields. The theme field Relax & Heal will focus on the importance of horticulture for a health life style. Horticulture as economic engine and provider of green energy is reflected in the Green Engine. A third thematic field, Education & Innovation shows the interaction between horticulture on the one hand and education and innovation on the other. The theme field Environment emphasizes the importance of a green (work) environment and gardens for our wellbeing. And finally in the World Show Stage horticulture is showcased as an inspiration for art, culture and entertainment. These steps should lead to the creation of an attractive, high value and especially sustainable Floriade Park. Once the Floriade exposition is over in 2013, the Park will be transferred to business park organization Greenpark Venlo. This will develop the Park into a green business area, mainly aimed at regional agricultural business activity. ARCADIS has been involved in the development of Floriade 2012 since the spring of 2004.
