    Over the next decade, the Coronmeus site in Liège will be transformed into our country's largest eco-neighbourhood. Together with CIT Blaton and Jan De Nul, we started the construction of Rives Ardentes in October 2021, a new 25-hectare sustainable neighbourhood along the banks of the Meuse with housing, shops, catering, offices and a residential care centre. A total of 1,325 low-energy and passive residential units (flats, single-family houses, cohousing units and kangaroo homes) will be built in this 'residential district of the future'. During the first phase of works, 20 commercial businesses will also be set up, including several catering outlets.

    The challenge for the Vlaamse Waterweg is to raise the 62 bridges over the Albert Canal to a clearance height of 9.10 m by 2022. The most complex bridges—15 in total—have been bundled into two separate PPP projects, in which the bridges will be rebuilt based on a DBFM formula. Both PPP files were awarded to a consortium around our group. We will also be responsible for the maintenance of the bridges over the next 30 years.

    Over the next decade, we will help build the largest public works assignment ever in Flanders: the Antwerp Oosterweel connection. Willemen Infra and Franki Construct are part of TM ROCO, which will handle, among other things, the realisation of the canal tunnels and the construction of the new R1 North and R1 East on the right bank.

    Willemen Infra, together with Aertssen Group - commissioned by the Airport Development Company (LOM) - provided a complete renovation of the runway of the airport in Deurne. New sewers and drainage were also provided. As the airport has only one runway, the renovation had to be carried out in a very short period of time.

    In the future Mediapark on Avenue Reyers in Brussels, we are constructing the new building for the Flemish public broadcaster VRT. This new 65,000 m² VRT building will be a compact, multi-purpose building consisting of two superimposed volumes. The base is an octagonal volume with a spacious entrance hall, an events area, a company restaurant, logistical work areas with loading and unloading zones and three large television studios. Above this volume is the second volume, with a total of three floors. Each floor has a large working area measuring 87 m x 87 m.

We are building a better world every day. Whether you are planning a sustainable construction project or an infrastructure project, the companies in our Group are a stable, reliable partner, from the design to the build phase and from financing to maintenance. Thanks to our mutual complementarity, we are able to handle even the most complex assignments together. As a contractor, we like to be a partner that teams up to shape, optimise, and realise projects to everyone’s satisfaction. In doing so, we are fully committed to innovation, digitisation and sustainability wherever possible.

Our Group brings competences and knowledge together in enthusiastic teams that work together in a unique way to shape the vistas of tomorrow. We always start with an overall vision for new projects and put the client, our service providers and our employees at the heart of everything we do. After all, they constitute the human capital that really makes the difference. Our five corporate values serve as the guiding principle in all of our activities.

Quality can be described and guaranteed in everyday processes. Quality is a task that's never finished: it demands constant attention and continuous improvement. We monitor our processes through our ISO 9001 quality management system. Individual responsibility rests with every employee, but the coordination of the system is taken care of by our QSE team (Quality, Safety and Environment). Our safety ambition is to make sure that everyone — our own employees and our subcontractors, suppliers and partners — comes home safely every single day. Every accident is one too many.

We endorse the agenda of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which provides a framework of 17 goals to which businesses, governments and citizens can contribute. In addition, we are taking actions today to prepare for the European Green Deal and the shift to a more circular economy. Based on our business operations and the achievements of the companies in our Group, we will continue to prove, year after year, that we take this commitment seriously.

To be able to build, we need people. And by people, we mean our 2,100 employees, who give the best of themselves to our group companies and service centres day after day, as well as the many thousands of people employed by our subcontractors and other construction partners. Each and every one of them is a part of our family of builders.
