As climate change becomes an increasingly pressing issue, it is important that we find ways to reduce our reliance on natural freshwater sources. Sweco has been appointed to design the pipe distribution network for the cooling water plant of the Waterkracht project. The initiative to transform treated wastewater into cooling water for companies contributes to a more sustainable Port of Antwerp. Read more
Imagine a world where construction sites are not just a source of waste and pollution, but also a way to promote sustainability. Well, this future is closer than you think, thanks to the use of data to inventory soil from excavations. The Oosterweel connection incorporates this technique as we speak. Read more
Construction sites are often seen as a nuisance, with the noise, dust, and debris they generate. However, did you know that they can also be an unexpected source of biodiversity? By reusing materials such as cobblestones and creating microhabitats for fauna, construction sites can help support local ecosystems and promote sustainable development. Read more
Construction sites are often associated with destruction. But did you know that with sustainable techniques and a conscious approach, it is possible to preserve trees and reduce the impact on the environment? We did so on the eco-district Coronmeuse in Liège, where Sweco is responsible for the Master plan and landscaping. Read more
Energy company E.ON Power Plants Belgium’s Energy Recovery Plant will reuse syngas, a residual product of chemical company Imerys Graphite & Carbon (IGC), in a new Energy Recovery Plant. Sweco was already tasked with the concept engineering of this new plant and is now responsible for the detailed engineering. Read more

This collaboration is an important milestone in the transition to a sustainable port. Read more
INOVYN, a subsidiary of chemical company INEOS, plans to build one of Norway's first green hydrogen plants. The new electrolyser will have a capacity of 20 megawatts. The CO2 reduction amounts to at least 22,000 tonnes per year, a very significant reduction in INEOS' carbon footprint in Norway. The Belgian and Norwegian experts from engineering firm Sweco will provide the conceptual engineering. Read more
