For the redevelopment of the N46 Weldenstraat, Verhelst Aannemingen was responsible for a complete renewal: installation of a separate sewer system, new segregated bicycle paths, and complete renovation of the pavements.
Secure approach for technical challenges
This project required specialized solutions. For instance, we worked with a pumping station at a depth of 7 meters, which we carefully submerged, a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional excavation. Moreover, part of the sewers are placed above each other, which required extremely precise placement.
With 7 crawler excavators, 15 Verhelst craftsmen, 10 subcontractors, and 5 to 7 tractors on site, we combined all efforts to successfully complete this complex task. Thanks to our experience and smooth cooperation with the involved parties, we kept the project on track.
Project in numbers:
- 18,000 m² new asphalt
- 5,000 meters of new sewage
- 16,000 meters of slipform concrete
- 40,000m³ earthwork, of which 20,000m³ to be stabilized on site for reuse
- 2,500m ditches
