Redevelopment of Strijderslaan
Comprehensive redevelopment above and below ground
The project includes a complete renewal of the underground infrastructure. A key element is the installation of a separated sewer system, ensuring that wastewater and rainwater are drained separately. This improves water management and helps reduce both flooding and drought.
At the same time, the street above ground is being fully redesigned as a local access road, with increased attention to traffic safety and improved comfort for pedestrians and cyclists.
Sustainability as a guiding principle
In addition to traditional infrastructure works, this site also serves as a testing ground for sustainable construction methods within BESIX Infra. During execution, electric equipment is used and part of the energy is generated locally through solar panels and battery systems on site.
Sustainable choices are also made in terms of materials and water management. This approach helps limit the ecological impact of the works while generating valuable insights for future projects.
Result
After a 14-month construction period, Strijderslaan was reopened in June 2026. The street has evolved from an outdated thoroughfare into a safe and sustainable residential street, offering more space for soft road users and greater attention to its surroundings.
The project has resulted in a future-proof design where mobility, water management, and quality of life go hand in hand.
