Advice in concession agreements
Liefkenshoektunnel Antwerpen
The realization of the Liefkenshoektunnel is an example of a private financing under the legal form of a concession. This tunnel could not be built with public funds alone. Therefore, the government opted for a private financing under the legal form of a concession.
During the construction period, the Temporary Association NV De Meyer, NV Van Laere and NV Betonac acted as concessionaire responsible for the construction of the tunnel. As soon as the construction activities were completed, NV Tunnel Liefkenshoek became concessionaire and operator.
Jan van Bergeijk was closely involved in this project, both as director of De Meyer and of NV Tunnel Liefkenshoek. Thanks to his experience with concession agreements, Jan van Bergeijk is qualified to lead similar projects.

Public-private partnership can relate to various sectors and projects, such as infrastructure projects like for instance road construction, bridges, and tunnels, the development of a city area, the construction and operation of residential care centres, the construction of a prison , the construction and operation of a business complex.
Construction of depots and new tram lines for De Lijn
An example of a public-private partnership is the construction of depots and new tram lines with underground stations for De Lijn, the Flemish transport company.
These depots provide for the maintenance of busses. The new tram lines make use of old unused underground metro lines, which are re-adapted and secured for use.
The construction was done via a so-called DBFM procedure, whereby the private partner is responsible for the design, construction, financing and maintenance of the complex for 25 years.
