BESIX and BESIX Infra start works for the replacement of level crossings in Bilzen (Belgium)
Replacement of seven level crossings by two bridges, four tunnels, and two stretches of bicycle highway
State-of-the-art design features
The two bridges will also be built according to two specific methods. For one bridge, BESIX will build the deck first and will then slide it over the catenary. For the other bridge, pillars will be placed along the tracks, after which prefabricated concrete beams will be put on top of them.
Additionally, BESIX will apply very specific foundation techniques, such as sheet piling, soilmix walls, micropiles, grout anchors, screw piles, or concrete prefabricated piles.
Altogether works conducted by BESIX on-site also include dismantling the catenaries and rails, waterproofing, backfilling, and load-bearing tests. BESIX is also in charge of the actual reinstallation of the railway infrastructure, including ballast, levelling, track laying, and the various works involved, such as welding. BESIX Infra will be responsible for sewerage, excavation works, and road construction.
Largest level crossing project in Belgium for better safety and mobility
