The Agency for Roads and Traffic (AWV) and the contractor consortium ViA12 (Jan De Nul and Willemen) are planning the redevelopment of the Londerzeel-Zuid junction on the A12. Sweco is handling the application for the environmental permit for this DBFM project. On January 29, 2025, this application was declared complete and admissible upon first submission, marking an important milestone in the permit procedure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now follows a period of 180 days during which various advisory bodies will assess the application and a public inquiry will take place. Once the permit is granted, this dangerous intersection on the A12 can be transformed into a safe and efficient traffic junction for heavy traffic, cars, cyclists, and pedestrians.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Smooth and High-Quality Environmental Permit Application<\/h2>\n

Sweco has been appointed by ViA12 to prepare the Environmental Permit Application (OVA). This process was completed at a rapid pace with great care and attention from all parties. In just six months, the team compiled the dossier, including thorough adjustments to the reference design and necessary studies such as dewatering and hydraulic studies. All required documents and plans were prepared according to the rules of the Environmental Permit Decree.<\/p>\n

The close collaboration between the various teams within Sweco and the contractors, as well as the cooperation with various stakeholders and the permitting authority, played a crucial role in the success of this permit process. Transparent communication and clear deadlines ensured that all parties remained informed of progress, requirements, and adjustments, contributing to an efficient process.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Sweco-Loket Ensures Seamless Flow in the Permit Process<\/h2>\n

From the beginning of the dossier, three experienced environmental permit experts from Sweco were involved. Their early involvement was crucial due to their deep expertise in integrating the requirements and regulations regarding environmental permits into the process approach.<\/p>\n

This success is a first result of the Sweco-Loket, which was established to maximize the quality and effectiveness of permit processes. Thanks to efficient decision-making, projects can be facilitated more quickly. In this way, we can relieve our clients of one of the most important milestones in the realization of their projects.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
