When Spiroux handles the move between your old and new offices!
CLIENT: SOFICO
SOFICO (Société wallonne de Financement Complémentaire des Infrastructures) is a company financing and managing infrastructure on major road axes in Wallonia. It also aims to accelerate the construction of missing links in the Trans-European road and waterway network across Wallonia.
Among these missing links, it enabled the large-scale upgrading of several lock sites, the completion of the famous Strépy-Thieu boat lift, and the finalization of motorway connections such as the “E25-E40/A602” in Luxembourg. The 3.8 km of missing links helped ease city-center traffic, notably through the Cointe tunnel.
SOFICO is also active in telecommunications: it manages the Walloon fiber optic network along its road and waterway routes to commercialize it, facilitate deployment in harder-to-access areas, and meet the new needs of smart roads.
Finally, SOFICO provides infrastructure and spaces to develop service concession projects that increase renewable energy production: wind, photovoltaic, hydroelectric, and biomass.
