The project is being managed by TUC RAIL on behalf of Infrabel, a rail infrastructure manager in Belgium.
The company was actively involved in all phases of the Watermael-Schuman-Josaphat rail link project, specifically in two major phases, including the complete renovation of the Brussels-Schuman station and supply of equipment for the Schuman-Josaphat tunnel.
The works will, according to the company, allow the modernised station to reach its full potential as a multimodal hub, while new connections also ensure better connection between train and subway.
Under the project, approximately 100 security cameras, a fire detection system and new emergency exits have been installed at the station.
