News in the spotlight

Sven Verbist: safety as a second nature

Anyone who meets Sven Verbist immediately notices that safety is not just an obligation for him, but a conviction. His professional path once began in electromechanics, but today, through Netwerk, he is the man who keeps projects safely on track at the Port of Antwerp Bruges as a safety coach.

Mohamed Loutfi: From Electromechanic to Tunnel Safety Architect

Twenty years ago, he was behind a drawing board; today, Mohamed Loutfi co-leads the renovation of the Beveren Tunnel, a project that raises the bar for both labor and tunnel safety in Flanders higher than ever. His story is one of perseverance, passion, and, admittedly, quite challenging months in which work, study, and extra training came together.

Peggy the Payroller

Payroll, the monitoring of salaries, is a crucial factor for an organization like Netwerk. Peggy therefore fulfills a crucial role. For more than a decade, she has been the linchpin in the payroll department, and she does even more than that. She lives the core values of Netwerk by focusing on people in addition to the HR technical process.

Dennisse, from psychology to recruitment

Dennisse studied clinical psychology but ultimately did not end up in a practice, but in recruitment. Her fascination with people, talents, and motivations proved to be a perfect fit for a career in which she brings candidates and employers together on a daily basis. At Netwerk, she found the ideal balance between freedom and collaboration, challenges and successes. She explains how psychology and recruitment seamlessly merge.

Fluxys site visit

On a sunny morning, we meet Dieter Ingelaere, site coordinator at Fluxys and a permanent fixture on the site since 2011. His workplace? The impressive site in Zandhoven, where underground gas routes intersect and where safety and precision are not empty concepts. Dieter ensures that the work on the site runs smoothly. From coordinating contractors to monitoring technical work and constantly assessing risks: like oil in the machine, he keeps everything running. Literally and figuratively. In this article, we delve into the world of Fluxys, where gas under high pressure, temperatures of -162°C and valves requiring considerable effort are daily occurrences. But also where experience, trust and collaboration make the real difference. Welcome to the site. Put on your safety shoes.

Tabloo

On March 1, 2022, the visitor center for NIRAS' surface disposal project opened in Dessel. Tabloo will serve as a landmark for the disposal project for the next 300 years, but in the shorter term, it serves as much more. A few weeks before the official opening, we were given an exclusive tour by colleague Netwerker Marijke Beel, project leader of Tabloo.
