The Waaslandtunnel – also known as the Sint-Anna Tunnel – is Belgium’s oldest traffic tunnel. For 92 years, it has connected the left and right banks of the Scheldt River. Today, this iconic tunnel is undergoing a major renovation led by BESIX.
A crucial part of the works is the renewal of the ventilation system. During the renovation, the work zones must remain well ventilated to ensure a safe and fresh working environment for the construction crew.
The challenge
During the renovation, the existing ventilation system could not remain operational. Therefore, a temporary, reliable, and powerful ventilation solution was needed to extract both dust and harmful gases from the tunnel.
Our solution
At Slingerland Techniek, we collaborated closely with BESIX and provided a complete rental package of temporary ventilators:
Key specifications
Thanks to this setup, the tunnel was optimally ventilated, allowing the renovation work to proceed safely.
The result
A fresh, safe, and productive working environment for the BESIX crew.
With minimal installation effort, a maximum ventilation effect was achieved — exactly what Slingerland Techniek stands for.
Thanks to BESIX
A special thank you to the entire BESIX team for their trust in our solutions. We are proud to contribute to such an iconic Belgian infrastructure project.
