Mission

CRHS is already involved at De Hortus for the past 5 years, mainly in constrution management & Long Term Maintenance plans.
During the preparation phase of the WKO-connection CRHS made the budget calculations. The preparation of the execution phase is started and the real works will start beginning 2016. The final connection between the Hermitage and the Hortus must be made during 2016. A challenging project, because the 2 pipe connection must pass 425m1 between both properties. The project is started in a ‘construction team’ with different contractors in each profession.
