PIANC is a professional association of experts who have joined forces to provide specialist knowledge and advice on how to ensure the cost-effective, reliable and sustainable development of waterborne transport infrastructure. Founded in 1885, PIANC continues to be a leading partner for public authorities and the private sector in the planning, design, development and maintenance of ports, waterways and coastal areas.
