Projects
Curious about a sample of what we can do? Here you'll find some impressive projects that the teams at the Verhelst Group have enthusiastically worked on over the past months. From demolition and earthworks to infrastructure works, and from sand extraction to asphalt production. The result is always worth it! And this is just a selection of our many projects, not nearly everything!
Wallenius Wilhelmsen Solutions expands terminal
For the construction of a new terminal in Zeebrugge, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Solutions enlisted our groundworkers. The port environment, the scale of the project, and the short execution time made it a challenge that we gladly accepted.
Assembly Wolff 7534
Installation of a Wolff 7534 at the Hooyberghs yard in Antwerp Nieuw Zuid.
Demolition work of former paper factory Catala
The old Catala site in Drogenbos is making way for a brand new business campus for SMEs. Verhelst Aannemingen is carrying out the demolition work and preparing the site for construction. It proved to be a challenge due to the short demolition period and the large amount of asbestos sheets present in the roofs of the warehouses.
Demolition of Apartment Building Middelkerke
Verhelst Constructions was responsible for the demolition of an apartment building located between two other renovated buildings on the seafront of Middelkerke. A complex task both in demolition and debris clearance, but also due to ensuring the safety of the surroundings, which our team accomplished with flying colors.
Redesign of the Natiënlaan Intersection
That Verhelst Constructions does not shy away from any challenge is proven by this project: transforming the intersection on the Natiënlaan (N49) with the Kalvekeetdijk in Knokke-Heist into a roundabout. For the bicycle and footpaths, which run separately from the car traffic via an underground square, the necessary access ramps and stairs are also provided. Because the construction site is on a busy access road and in a densely populated area, less than 4 weeks per phase is scheduled for the road construction. No small feat given the scale of the work: excavating (and removing) 18,000 m3 of soil, laying sewer systems, and applying 16,000 m3 of asphalt. The first half of the roundabout (with roadworks) has meanwhile been completed. We are therefore halfway.
Reconstruction of Duinbergenlaan
Verhelst Aannemingen was responsible for the redevelopment of the Duinbergenlaan in Knokke. In 2017, an initial project was already carried out here, and now we have completed a complex renovation of the sewer network. Since the connection between the station and the dyke is located right in the tourist area, the biggest challenge was to minimize disruption for both residents and tourists as much as possible. Therefore, the project was divided into different phases, with work halted during holiday periods. The sewer under the tram tracks was even laid at night so the tram could run again on Monday.
