Very few managerial issues are new: others have experienced them before and ways to address these issues most effectively have not only been found, but also documented. VMS has the knowledge and experience to assist you with your managerial issues: the knowledge of which solutions are available for particular problems and the experience to know which of these solutions would provide the optimal outcome for your organization.
Many projects are executed without a formal Project Management System in place, often because the project is considered too small. This is unfortunate because the outcome of a project is largely determined by the quality of the project management. VMS can assist your company with the implementation of appropriate project management systems to make your projects more successful.
Management systems routinely used by large corporations can be very useful to smaller companies as well, but they are not always applied. VMS can help you implement these systems within your organization.
Setting up a new company and growing that business is a challenging task. Gerald Verbeek, President of VMS, was directly involved in starting an engineering and construction business from scratch. This start-up would grow within 10 years into a company with an annual revenue of $ 250 million, more than 600 staff and offices on 3 continents. This experience can be applied to many companies and assist the management of these firms in successfully growing their business.
Companies often fail to take full advantage of opportunities outside the United States, often because of language and cultural differences that form barriers limiting (or sometimes even precluding) success in international activities. VMS can assist in overcoming these differences, which will improve the success of any international activity your company may consider.

Geotechnical equipment and practices, with a special emphasis on foundation and soil testing
VMS can provide detailed recommendations regarding geotechnical equipment and practices, especially in the area of foundation testing and (seismic) cone penetration testing (SCPT).
We have partnered with Allnamics for foundation testing, Eijkelkamp Geopoint SoilSolutions for CPT equipment, and BCE for hardware and software for downhole seismic testing.
More information on these companies can be found at their websites:
Over the years our president Gerald Verbeek has published quite a few papers on these topics and a complete list may be found here.
We have also established two discussion groups on LinkedIn to cover both CPT and Seismic CPT: the CPT Cone Penetration Testing group and the Seismic Cone Penetration Testing (SCPT) group.
Oil and Gas specific services, with a special emphasis on the execution of turn-key projects
At a time when the pricing of hydrocarbons is uncertain (with distinct possibilities to make substantial moves in either direction) executing Oil & Gas projects is challenging. VMS can not only assist you in generating the right development strategy for your mineral assets, but also provide the project management services to implement this strategy on time and within budget.
VMS can provide a variety of project management services for Oil & Gas projects:
