Projects
Curious about a sample of what we can do? Here you'll find some impressive projects that the teams at the Verhelst Group have enthusiastically worked on over the past months. From demolition and earthworks to infrastructure works, and from sand extraction to asphalt production. The result is always worth it! And this is just a selection of our many projects, not nearly everything!

Renovation works airport Ostend
The largest aircraft parking area at Ostend Airport is being renovated. Along with Apron 2, all service roads are also being rebuilt. The project started in April 2021 and is expected to be completed by December 2022. We are already deploying the major resources.
Demolition work of former paper factory Catala
The old Catala site in Drogenbos is making way for a brand new business campus for SMEs. Verhelst Aannemingen is carrying out the demolition work and preparing the site for construction. It proved to be a challenge due to the short demolition period and the large amount of asbestos sheets present in the roofs of the warehouses.
Demolition of Apartment Building Middelkerke
Verhelst Constructions was responsible for the demolition of an apartment building located between two other renovated buildings on the seafront of Middelkerke. A complex task both in demolition and debris clearance, but also due to ensuring the safety of the surroundings, which our team accomplished with flying colors.
Demolition of road bridge in Ooigem
Job completed by Verhelst Aannemingen, part of Verhelst Group, in just one weekend! On Friday night, we started illuminating the bridge. By Saturday afternoon, we were already able to remove the large parts of the support structure from the water, followed by dredging the other debris that had fallen into the Leie. By 6 a.m. on Monday morning, the waterway was completely clear for shipping again. Equipment: CAT 374, Cat 349, Komatsu 490, Kobelco 350 and Cat 340 (long reach), plus a Volvo 380 from a pontoon.
Demolition Vives University College Ostend
Verhelst Aannemingen, part of Verhelst Group, ensured the careful demolition of the VIVES university college (formerly the Catholic University College Bruges-Ostend KHBO) while preserving the historical facade on the seawall. This facade will later be integrated into the apartment buildings to be developed on the site in the coming years.
