Koekelare, a charming municipality in West Flanders, is currently the scene of a large-scale infrastructure project. In collaboration with our partners FLUVIUS, PROVINCE OF WEST FLANDERS, and MUNICIPALITY KOEKELARE, we are actively working on the transformation of Oostmeetstraat, Catstraat, and Lekestraat.
The Challenge
Our assignment is clear and challenging: break up the existing paving and then install RWA and DWA sewers, house connections, and pumping stations. Additionally, we are responsible for the construction of new roads, bike paths, parking strips, and footpaths. An important aspect here is ensuring accessibility for the residents and dealing with the challenges of natural drainage.
Our Approach
With the combined expertise of our divisions in Contracting, Top-mix, Top Asphalt, and Machinery, we employ a streamlined strategy. Collaboration is central throughout the entire project, with each team member contributing their expertise.
Accessibility for the residents is of utmost importance to us. We strive to minimize inconvenience, keep driveways accessible, and guarantee smooth traffic flow. The installation of the RWA sewer is a particular challenge, requiring us to continuously pump water until the sewer was eventually connected to a stream.
Project in Numbers:
- Route: 2.6km
- Private disconnections: ±200
- Paving stones: 7650m²
- Asphalt road: 17,000m²
- Curbs/side strips: >10,000m
- DWA sewer: 3.5km (stoneware 250)
- RWA sewer: 3.1km (concrete 400 -> 1000)
Current Status
We are excited about the progress we have made so far and look forward to the completion of this mighty project.
