CFE - 2006 annual report - Vinci

André Wiard, 61 years
Senior Site Superintendent
In 1969, I joined François et Fils and in 1975 I worked on
my first building site as a superintendent. Since then, the
company has allowed me to progress through different
projects such as the renovation of the fire station at the
“marché aux puces”, the Van Maerlant convent on rue
Belliard, senior citizen centres, various office buildings, the
Andenne and Ittre prisons, tower B of the Porte de l’Europe
in Luxembourg and the new RTL studios in Schaerbeek.
The STIB Canone project, with its intermediate dead-
lines, was particularly challenging. The primary difficulties
resulted from a very tight schedule near an active tram
depot (near high voltage overhead wires) and the need
to handle objects weighing more than 11 tonnes in a very
narrow space.
All these projects allowed me to find satisfaction and to
work with experienced and valued teams.
Work continued on the construction of an office building,
developed by Fortis Real Estate, on the site of l’Arsenal in
Brussels, as did renovation of the platforms and mezzanine
of the Central Station in Brussels. Also underway are new
housing phases for “Espace Rolin” and “Jardins de Jette”,
the “D4-D5” office complex for the European Parliament
and the construction of the “Omega Court” office building.
Through the creation of a site preparation team and
investment in the training of managers and workers,
CFE Brabant is strengthening its operational workforce
to better satisfy its customers and to meet the challenge
of maintaining a high level of activity.
