Works at the Realex site – Installation of a new tower crane (22–24 July)

From Wednesday 22 to Friday 24 July, works will take place on the Realex site to install a new tower crane.

The works will be carried out during daytime only, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., in accordance with the legally permitted working hours.

The various components of the tower crane will be delivered to the site by lorry and lifted into place using the tower cranes already installed on site. No mobile crane will be positioned on Rue Jacques de Lalaing, and no road closures are planned. Traffic will therefore remain open throughout the works.

We will do everything possible to minimise disruption and thank you for your understanding during these works.

Welcome to the REALEX construction site information page

This website aims to inform local residents about the conference centre project for the European Commission.

This project forms part of the development of the European Quarter and, according to the current provisional schedule, is expected to continue until mid-2028.

Here you will find working hours, upcoming phases, and practical information related to the construction site.

Provisional working hours

Construction site activities are organised in accordance with the permits issued by the competent authorities.

Weekdays (Monday – Friday)
Main activities scheduled between 07:00 and 21:00

Saturdays (occasionally)
Activities may take place between 08:00 and 16:00

However, certain logistical, technical or safety operations (installation, preparation, arrival or departure of vehicles, specific handling operations, etc.) may take place outside these hours, in compliance with applicable permits and regulatory requirements.

Where possible, these operations are scheduled so as to limit their impact.

Our commitment to the neighbourhood

We are aware that a construction project of this scale may cause temporary inconvenience.

The project teams strive to:

carefully plan sensitive operations,
limit occupation of public roads,
comply with applicable permits,
and maintain transparent communication.

By nature, the construction site remains subject to change and certain adjustments may be necessary, but we ensure that their impact is managed responsibly and communicated transparently as soon as possible.
