Continuing and getting back to business in Belgium

May 14, 2020

In Belgium, just as in France, multiple measures were put in place to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

Let’s take a tour of the SADE Group’s sites across the country during this complicated period.

ARGEA

Government measures forced ARGEA to shut down its worksites, except for a few urgent works deals in public service sectors. A look back at the last few weeks.

Mid-March – mid-April

During the first 4 weeks of strict lockdown, ARGEA worked on adapting its working procedures and purchasing new PPE to comply with sanitary measures and optimise its preparations to get back to business.

15 April: back to business

ARGEA progressively got back to work, complying with sanitary protection measures and increasing supervision on worksites.

May: back to 60% business

On May 4, the national reassessment of restrictive measures enabled us to ramp back up to 60% of usual business. Everything points to ARGEA hitting 80% by the end of the month.

A closer look at our worksites

  • full resumption of our VIVAQUA Wastewater Treatment contracts (GRP circular liners & close-fit lining framework agreement),
  • progressive resumption of our framework agreements for SWDE (drinking water), SIBELGA (gas and electricity), ORES (gas and electricity), VIVAQUA Drinking Water (laying of pipes and service pipe connections),
  • INFRABEL, IGRETEC, and CILE authorised worksites to reopen in accordance with governmental measures.

AQUAENERGIA

AQUAENERGIA, a SODRAEP subsidiary, is located in Beverlo, in the middle of Limburg, the province hardest hit by COVID-19 with nearly 100,000 recorded cases. It survived this terrible crisis, showing great resilience, and business has already bounced back strongly.

Solid cash flow

Known for its flexibility in the water and gas pipeline and cable laying sector (supply and distribution), this week AQUAENERGIA hit more than 90% of the business initially forecast for the period.

It should be noted that the option made available to project managers to invoice 100% of finished works allowed AQUAENERGIA to limit the impact of COVID-19 on its cash flow.

A closer look at framework agreements

  • De Watergroep: water supply pipeline works
  • Pidpa: water supply connection works
  • Fluvius: gas and electricity network works
