Cordeel Group launches its 2022 sustainability report

C-biotech and C-ground are joining forces with OVMB, a subsidiary of Eiffage Construction BeLux, for an innovative soil remediation project in the Port of Ghent. In a fully enclosed and controlled greenhouse environment, the partners are investigating how industrial hemp, combined with soil additives, can accelerate the removal of PFAS from the soil without destroying its structure and quality. The pilot project is a European first and has the potential to grow into a sustainable and cost-effective alternative for the remediation of these persistent “forever chemicals.” PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are highly persistent chemical compounds that contaminate soil and water worldwide and are linked to serious health risks. Belgium is considered one of the largest hotspots in Europe. The need for innovative, scalable solutions is therefore particularly urgent.

Construction company streamlines operations with an eye on the future and opts for a complementary CEO duo

We are extremely proud to introduce Sinqer to our group. With Sinqer, we are taking an important step towards our ambition to build a climate-neutral future.

This month, an important milestone was reached on our project along Koning Boudewijnlaan in Vilvoorde: the topping-out ceremony. In the construction sector, this is a traditional event that takes place once a building has reached its highest point. It is a moment to celebrate the hard work of all partners involved and to look ahead to the completion of the project.

Cordeel Belgium is investing in the Muysenhuys nature restoration project, which is giving nature and water back their space – a concrete step towards tackling the climate and biodiversity crisis.

Two years after the laying of the foundation stone, Brucargo Central was officially inaugurated today. We proudly look back on the realization of this landmark Design & Build project, which Cordeel, together with archipelago architects and VK architects+engineers, developed in record time on behalf of Brussels Airport.

With the symbolic groundbreaking on Thursday, October 2, in Mol, construction of PanTera’s Actinium Production Center (APC) has officially begun. Cordeel is building this groundbreaking project together with Willemen, SPIE, and Imtech within the TM WISICO consortium. As a construction partner, we are particularly proud to contribute to a project that will make a difference worldwide in the fight against cancer.

Cordeel Group, together with SDM Corporate Finance Group and Imtech’s management, has achieved a strategic capital reinforcement via the Smart Deal platform. This provides Imtech with the necessary resources and a broader shareholder base to accelerate its growth and innovation. With this deal, Cordeel Group remains the reference shareholder, firmly anchoring Imtech’s position as a leading technical installation company within the group. At the same time, external investors join to support Imtech’s further professionalization and strategic strength.

C-biotech, a specialist in biological soil remediation among other things, and DEME Environmental, an expert in soil cleaning and remediation, are taking an important step in the fight against PFAS contamination. C-biotech, part of the Cordeel Group, is opening an innovative test lab at its site in Temse, where contaminated soil can now be purified ex-situ – that is, outside the original location – using industrial hemp. DEME, in turn, has opened a test lab at its Sedisol center near Charleroi, where the ex-situ technique is being tested on PFAS-contaminated dredged material. With this project, C-biotech and DEME aim to contribute to a structural solution for the remediation of polluted soils.
