INFRABEL - Vilvoorde

Restoration of railway vaults and frontwall Line 25: Brussels North - Antwerp Central in Vilvoorde

It’s rare that for the different and varying disciplines of  by the Department renovation, restoration and special techniques are in one executed project.

On page 7 of the tender documents – subject of the tender – we read:

Ø   to build a new façade wall that is anchored to the existing underlying wall – with the necessary amount of blue limestone and originally profiled to this model.

Ø   expanding and strengthening of the foundation massifs and the drilling of foundation piles – grout piles.

Ø   the strengthening of the vaults with shotcrete;

Ø  railway works

It is clear that only a small part of the work was outsourced to subcontractors (scaffolding, cutting of connete).The project started on 28/08/06. There were also blue limestone stones from our own masonry placed. The result may be seen and the stability of the whole is assured for the future.
