Born in Holland, built CPTS with pure grit, absolute legend as husband, father & brother
SCROLL FOR MORE LEGEND
Born in Holland with that classic Dutch no-bullshit grit, Yvo landed in Brisbane and founded CPTS — Queensland’s first independent cone penetration testing crew.
22+ years pushing heavy rigs through the toughest ground. But the real legend? Absolute rock as a husband, father and brother — the bloke who holds everything together like a properly anchored CPT string.
"If the soil had a lawyer, they’d call Yvo. If the family needed a hero, they’d call Yvo. Same hard cunt. Absolute fucking legend."
EST. LEGEND
HOLLAND → QLD
CPTS Founder
Started Queensland’s first independent CPT crew. 22+ years on the heavy rigs making the ground talk.
Pushed more cones than most blokes have had hot dinners. Zero refusals. The ground never argued back.
Legendary husband, father and brother. Holds the family tighter than a CPT anchor. Still the boss even in retirement.
"Yvo is the reason the word 'legend' exists in geotech AND at home. Hard as fuck on site and off."
— Every engineer, site supervisor, wife, kids & brother
Including you, legend
Heavy rigs, dirty sites, hard yakka — proper man shit
Your message will be printed, framed, and shown to Yvo while he's crushing beers in retirement. Guaranteed.
