In 2006, Engema Rail consolidated its position on the
Belgian markets for overhead wires and rail signalling.
Its revenues have been increasing constantly for several
years.
During the year, Engema Rail obtained final acceptance
of the overhead wires at Chênée, Herstal, and Holsbeek
stations and at the Amercoeur Bridge in Liège, as well as
acceptance of the signalling work at the Berchem station
in Antwerp.
Engema Rail won a second RER contract in 2006 for the
implementation of signalling on the Diegem-Leuven seg-
ment, and, within the framework of its overhead wire
project on the Liège-Cologne TGV line, the company
obtained major additional orders in the Soumagne and

Walhorn tunnels. The Engema Rail personnel have proven
their expertise in the installation of rail tunnel equipment:
a fire detector in the Bierbeek tunnel, GSMR radiating
cable and signal cables in the Peerdsbos tunnel and in the
Antwerp Central Station tunnel, as well as fans for heat and
smoke exhaust in the Soumagne and Walhorn tunnels.
Engema Montage had a good year in 2006 and delivered
several turnkey projects in the northern part of the country
for the purpose of creating interconnections for European
networks.
Engema Montage’s goal in the next few years is to export
its expertise in the installation and pulling of cables and
to develop maintenance business in theme parks and the
assembly of windmills.
