Home Sand extraction Earthworks Mixing plant DOP and C-Top Breaking yard Contact Meganck-Collewaert is a family business and comprises 3 companies, each with a number of specific activities. The story begins in the 1970s with the construction of the E3 (now E17) between Ghent and Antwerp, in which the founder Maurice Meganck was involved in the earthmoving. From there, a first own sand extraction was started in Waasmunster, then expanded to Laarne and Oudenaarde, and temporarily also to the airport in Lochristi. Since 1987, almost all of Meganck-Collewaert's main activities have been concentrated in Moststraat in Beervelde , a sub-municipality of Lochristi, on a reclamation site of approximately 60 ha along the E17. This is where the heart of the company beats The nv Meganck-Collewaert takes care of the sand extraction by means of a powerful dredger , with which high-quality sand is pumped up from the subsoil. Some of the water-sand mixture ends up in sand deposits to separate the sludge; After settling and drying out, this sprayed sand is very suitable for foundations, but can also be sieved afterwards for specific applications in the construction sector. The same water-sand mixture can also be fed directly to an impressive cyclone installation , resulting in washed (silt-free) sand. Cement or aggregates can then be added to the sand in a mixing plant to make stabilized sand (sand cement) or lean concrete. The deep water pool created by sand extraction is monitored and refilled according to plan by way of definitive storage (DOP) for supplied excavated soil. A temporary storage facility (TOP) has also been set up on the site for land lots that have been brought in, pending their further use, eg reuse for additions. Finally, a space has been reserved for rubble storage and a crushing installation that allows limited quantities of concrete and mixed rubble to be processed into aggregates for the mixing plant. As a transport company with 12 high-performance tractor-semi-trailers, Trans Meco nv is specialized for the removal of sand and related products and for the supply of soil. The nv Megaco is a company active in earthmoving and has several excavators, wheel loaders and bulldozers to efficiently carry out various earthworks, such as excavation and excavation and the preparation of plots on industrial sites.
