 Home Page

SAM-Consult is a small Dutch company, founded in 1983. 
It originates from my hobbies, electronics and programming, and my study in Mechanical Engineering, Dredging. 
Combining this gives Consultancy, software development and instrumentation for dredging and offshore companies. 
In 1989 Education and Management were added to the Services of the company. 
Since 1983, SAM-Consult has carried out many assignments in Holland, the USA and Australia. Since 1999 the attention has shifted to China, South Vietnam and the USA, where educational and research projects were carried out.

Since 2002 SAM-Consult also uses a Content Management System named Fullxml. This CMS has been heavily modified to meet the requirements of SAM-Consult. But I like to share the latest version with you, it can be found on www.miedema.biz, where you can experiment with it and also download it (its open source software).

In 2005 I bought a Windows Media Center and discovered the fun of developing applications for it. This has resulted in a number of applications you can find on www.mce-software.com, my MCE page.

 

To get an impression of what we can do for you, please visit Products and Services. You can reach us through Feedback and give your opinion on this site in the Guestbook.  This site also contains many Engineering Tools, Theory and Tables,  Literature, Links and Downloads, still reflecting my hobbies. 

If I find interesting stuff on the internet, I will add it to this website.

Enjoy visiting the SAM-Consult site,
