On behalf of Aquafin, the Municipality of Voeren, the Flemish Environment Agency and the Province of Limburg, BESIX Infra is installing new sewers and a collector in several villages across Voeren. Wastewater and rainwater are collected separately, improving water quality and increasing the efficiency of the sewerage network. Homes are also connected to the new system while existing discharges into local waterways are being phased out.
At the same time, the road infrastructure is being renewed. New pavements and upgraded public spaces will improve safety, comfort and overall quality of the environment.
A key objective of the project is the local management of rainwater through infiltration and controlled discharge. These measures help reduce flood risks while supporting the natural water cycle and groundwater replenishment.
The project is being carried out in an extensive and environmentally sensitive area comprising several village centres. Through careful planning and close coordination between all stakeholders, disruption for residents, businesses and road users is kept to a minimum.
