Technical services of the construction division Benelmat, serving its customers Under the leadership of its new management team, Benelmat, the equipment company of the group, is empha- sizing its quality initiatives for the benefit of its customers, both external and internal within the CFE group. Bearing in mind the information presented during the seminar in Ostend that brought together the site superintendents, project engineers and project managers of the CFE group, Benelmat has enhanced its formwork service and pub- lished a catalogue of equipment that it offers for rental. Relationships have also strengthened with the “equip- ment” departments of the other subsidiaries of the group, including Van Wellen, BPC, DEME and Geka. Safety and quality at all times The quality system of the CFE group was reorganized in 2006, not according to a centralized approach, but rather at the level of each regional entity and in relation to the needs of each subsidiary or branch. The goal is to have a quality engineer in each regional structure who will be a liaison with the central quality department and who will then be able to dedicate his or her focus to the checks and audits of the locally implemented quality strategy. Experience gained by the central quality department in the past, primarily in the Netherlands, through major “design Technical services and construct” projects, has been of benefit when bidding on major civil engineering projects in Flanders and the Netherlands. This experience is needed for projects of this type and is a real advantage to the company in obtaining contracts. The engineering department in Brussels… and elsewhere In 2006, the “design and construct” formula was the central theme of the activities of the engineering department. Working together with MBG, the department prepared the preliminary design for all the major infrastructure projects undertaken in Flanders, as well as researching promising alternatives and efficient construction techniques for the Oosterweel link (THV Noriant) in Antwerp, the Zaventem rail tunnel (Diabolo project) and the Liefkenshoektunnel in Antwerp. At the same time, work has begun on the concrete engineering for the unloading pier for the gas terminal tank in Zeebrugge for Fluxys, and several engineering designs were carried out for smaller scale projects. In the area of industrial construction, the Philips expansion project at Turnhout and the engineering and construction design for a Scanner building in Kallo should be men- tioned.

2 8 In the Netherlands, the work done on the tender for the Houten rail tunnels led to the award of the project, which has now entered its construction design phase. In addition, working together with colleagues from Dredging International and VINCI Construction Grands Projets, consulting work has been done for the preliminary design for a DBFM (Design-Build-Finance-Maintenance) type contract for the second “Coentunnel” in Amsterdam and construction design has continued on the mixed-use bridge in Utrecht. In Luxembourg, the European Investment Bank (EIB) bene- fited from the department’s technical assistance during the construction of the building’s complex concrete structure. For this reason, one of the engineers joined the site team on a full-time basis to manage the technical challenges. The increase in business at Bageci has also had an impact on the design department. The start upon the Sclessin water treatment station and work for the RER (commuter train network) at Ottignies have lead to a series of activities in the area of preparing construction methods and means of execution. During project bidding, the Vortex sewer project required the most attention. Christophe Giannone, 26 years Engineer Design Department As the structural engineer on the European Investment Bank (EIB) project in Luxembourg, I am responsible for coordinating soil stability studies and, during construction I develop technical solutions with the site team. Working on a complex “design and construct” project with numerous participants from different nationalities and cultures, my greatest challenge is to be able to juggle priorities while communicating efficiently and effectively with all players (general contractor, design offices, techni- cal inspection services, site team and construction work- ers) to find solutions and answers that will meet every- body’s requirements and expectations. The Sclessin water treatment station also required consid- erable design work for CFE EcoTech to devise processes and coordinate the various technologies. At CFE Brabant, it was the office project for AXA, at Place Schuman in Brussels that required the most design work. Both during the bidding on the second contract at the beginning of the year and at the time of the start-up of the Bouwteam-type partnership after the order was awarded, the department worked together with our partners on optimizing the foundations and the concrete structure. Among the numerous projects carried out in Brussels, most noteworthy are the collaborative effort with the traffic management unit of the SNCB at the South station, and the construction works at the Central Station and at the Sand Court buildings. In addition to our major customers, all other departments and branches were able to use our services over the past year. Whether in Poland, Hungary or Slovakia, the engi- neering department of the construction division was asked on numerous occasions to provide assistance either from Brussels or on site. Through CFE International, the first international tenders were made in Africa and the Middle East. This project is very enriching for me as I am at the heart of the action. I discovered techniques with which I was not very familiar and I have the opportunity to work with people from various professional backgrounds and differ- ent cultures.
