Works on Sint-Jansplein in Kontich with ground drilling and trenches.

The municipality of Kontich will start ground drilling in October for the sustainable heating of De Ploeg and De Brouwerij, followed by further works lasting until the summer of 2027.

The works on Sint-Jansplein in Kontich will commence in early October with ground drilling, expected to take approximately two weeks. These drillings aim to provide environmentally friendly heating for De Ploeg and De Brouwerij in the future.
In November, trenches will be dug to connect the boreholes. This process will also take about two weeks. The actual redevelopment of the square will begin in early January 2027 and will proceed in several phases until the summer of that year.
In the autumn of 2027, greenery will be planted to complete the area. The result of this green-blue redesign is intended to be a pleasant square for relaxation and meeting. The specific timing for the renovation of ‘De Ploeg’ is not yet known in detail.
All information regarding the square's redevelopment can be found on the webpage kontich.be/sint-jansplein. Additionally, subscribers to the digital newsletter will receive all updates directly in their inbox by signing up at www.kontich.be/nieuwsbrieven/Inschrijven.
