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!
Detached Wolff 7534.16 clear with spectacular views
At the H. Baelskaai in Ostend, Verhelst Machines, on behalf of Bouwgroep Versluys, installed the tallest free-standing tower crane in its history. The Wolff 7534.16 has a height under the hook of 86.1 meters and was firmly mounted on a chassis with an angle distance of 10m and a weight of 25 tons.
Expansion of Cosco Shipping terminal
Because all construction activities at Verhelst Group are under one roof, we can switch quickly and efficiently. Cosco Shipping experienced this too. We completed the first phase of their terminal expansion in the port of Zeebrugge in just three weeks, together with BAM Contractors. The scope of the work was nonetheless impressive. For the foundation, sub-base, and asphalt on the 2.3 ha site, 50,000 m³ of earthworks were needed, and we supplied 6,000 m³ of crushed stone. In this first phase, 7,500 tons of asphalt were laid. A tour de force that Verhelst Aannemingen, TopAsfalt, and Top-Mix, all part of Verhelst Group, brought to a successful completion effortlessly. Over the next two years, we will handle the rest of the site (7 ha). Verhelst Aannemingen will, among other things, be responsible for the sewer installation. To be continued.

Demolition of road bridge in Ooigem
Job completed by Verhelst Aannemingen, part of Verhelst Group, in just one weekend! On Friday night, we started illuminating the bridge.

By 6 a.m. on Monday morning, the waterway was completely clear for shipping again. Equipment: CAT 374, Cat 349, Komatsu 490, Kobelco 350 and Cat 340 (long reach), plus a Volvo 380 from a pontoon.
