Koen Vande Voorde, 37 years
Site Superintendent
I started with ABEB as a skilled carpenter. Over time, I was
promoted to qualified foreman and now, for the past two
and a half years, I am a works superintendent.
The “Stadsfeestzaal” project, on which I am responsible
for the conversion works on the “Meir” building, is a chal-
lenge, because the conversions are exceptional in every
sense. When completed, we will have created three new
floors under the four existing floors. Everyone has to be
extra careful and alert at all times to guarantee the safety
that is challenged by the short construction period and the
level of difficulty.
A second challenge is coordinating the different construc-
tion methods that are being applied simultaneously in
different areas of the building, given that the building is
the only access point to the large festival hall which is in its
finishing stage. Strict engagements have to be respected
conscientiously given the variety of subcontractors working
together side-by-side.
For years, my motivation has remained the same: to create
a building that every one can be proud of, whilst ensuring
as few accidents as possible. I hope that in the years to
come I will be able to build other projects with my friends
and colleagues, and meet new challenges.
By early 2009, all wastewater produced in the Liège urban
area will be treated. In fact, we are building the last waste-
water treatment plant, but definitely not the least as it is
the second largest in the Liège urban area (200.000 P.E.).
This is the Liège-Sclessin station. It is the result of fruitful
internal collaboration during bidding between CFE EcoTech
and Bageci in a joint venture with other partners.
This wastewater treatment plant, which we can all be
proud of, has allowed me to meet three personal chal-
lenges as a responsible of “process” engineering within
CFE EcoTech. Firstly, prepare and successfully complete
the building permit application dossier. Secondly, manage
the “process” design of the wastewater treatment plant
and the compact integration of the main equipment in a
closed, highly complex building. And finally, create a quality
dossier within the limits of the budget allocated for “proc-
ess” design and in the global interest of the association.
More than 28 years of experience in the wastewater treat-
ment business, including 8 at CFE, don’t allow me to hide
my so-called “respectable” age of 58, which in no way
lessens my enthusiasm and motivation for other major
projects in the future.
