A major construction project has begun on Rue du Pont in Braives with the building of a new wastewater treatment plant. This facility will play a crucial role in preserving the environment and enhancing wastewater treatment within the municipal territory.
The treatment process will involve several stages: removal of solid waste, separation of sand and oils, biological treatment using microorganisms, and finally, water clarification. The resulting sludge will be dewatered for agricultural or thermal recovery.
The construction, which officially started on September 7, 2026, is estimated to last approximately 300 working days. It will include site excavation, construction of concrete structures, the technical building, and the pumping station.
The works are being carried out by the temporary company Socogetra / Exelio, under the supervision of the AIDE. The project, financed by the SPGE, represents a total investment of €11,495,569.53.
Nuisances for local residents are expected to be limited, as homes are relatively distant from the site. However, a temporary increase in construction vehicle traffic may be observed, particularly during concreting phases. The understanding and patience of residents are requested during this period.
