VALENS

What we do: VALENS is a leading Belgian construction company specializing in civil engineering, new building construction, renovation, and environmental works. Our portfolio includes major infrastructure projects such as metro, TGV, and RER lines, bridges, viaducts, tunnels, storm basins, as well as offices, hospitals, shopping centers, housing, cultural and sports centers, and industrial buildings. We also restore both listed and non-listed buildings and carry out environmental works like asbestos removal, acoustic insulation, and fire resistance. Our integrated engineering teams cover stability, special techniques, infrastructure, façades, methodology, planning, and BIM, ensuring high standards of quality, innovation, and sustainability in every project. We serve both public and private clients, responding to the evolving demands of the construction market with a commitment to environmental responsibility and technical excellence[1][3].

Where we are located: VALENS is headquartered at Avenue Brugmann, 1060 Brussels, Belgium. As part of Eiffage Construction BeLux, we benefit from a strong local presence and the extensive network of the Eiffage Group across Europe[3].

Short history: VALENS was established in January 2006 through the merger of SA Maurice Delens and Van Rymenant, two companies with deep roots in the Belgian construction sector. Since its founding, VALENS has grown into a major player, known for ambitious projects that shape urban infrastructure and the built environment. As a subsidiary of the French Eiffage Group, VALENS leverages both local expertise and international resources to deliver complex, large-scale projects. Milestones include the construction of high-speed train viaducts and iconic cultural complexes, as well as pioneering the use of prefabricated wooden modular housing in Belgian social housing—a first in the country[1][2].

Organization & culture: VALENS employs around 250 professionals who are passionate about construction and innovation. Our culture is built on teamwork, integrity, excellence, and a strong commitment to sustainable development and employee well-being. We believe every project is an opportunity to learn and grow together, fostering a dynamic and collaborative work environment. As part of the Eiffage Group, we offer stability, career development opportunities, and the chance to work on impactful projects that contribute to the future of our cities[1][3].

Recent developments: VALENS has recently achieved a Belgian first in social housing by installing prefabricated wooden modular homes, significantly reducing construction time and environmental impact. This innovative approach, developed in collaboration with specialized partners, demonstrates our leadership in sustainable construction practices. Our teams have also moved into The Source, a new low-carbon headquarters in Brussels designed to promote synergy, innovation, and sustainable mobility among Eiffage Construction BeLux entities[2][4].
