For this project, the contracting company collaborated with the experts at Collinet. Patricia Bauwens, Head of the Operational Office at Aclagro, explains how this collaboration unfolded in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improve water quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis WWTP project fits within the objective of the local administration and Aquafin to improve the water quality of the Klijtebeek,\u201d confirms Patricia Bauwens. \u201cTo ensure the treatment plant operates optimally, the Flanders Environment Agency commissioned the municipality of Heuvelland to disconnect as much rainwater as possible locally from the sewer pipes in the village center and to discharge this water to the same Klijtebeek. The construction of a separate sewer system was also part of this plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collinet as engineering partner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the preparation and development of this project, Patricia and her colleagues relied on Collinet's expertise. \u201cTheir team handled the creation of the execution drawings and the production of six HDPE manholes, three of which were made from double-walled pipes with a diameter of 1,500 millimeters. Additionally, we could count on Collinet for the installation of the overflow gates and wall sluices in the manholes, as well as the placement of fiberglass-reinforced gratings on the manholes, including the necessary supports.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plug &amp; play<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kristel Vanmolle, Sales Engineer at Collinet, explains the advantages of these manholes. \u201cOne of the strengths is the easy installation of all kinds of accessories \u2013 such as sluice gates, overflow gates, and valves \u2013 in the manholes, which can be operated both manually and electrically. Moreover, they are easily accessible for maintenance and inspection. As a supplier, we also had the opportunity to prefabricate the manholes in our workshop and deliver them \u2018plug &amp; play\u2019 to the construction site. With a lightweight HDPE design, we were able to guarantee a quick installation, in collaboration with Aclagro.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weir gates and penstocks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the weir gates and penstocks will soon come in handy, Patricia confirms: \u201cThe function of the weir gates is to maintain the media level upstream. With a simple turning movement, the customer can set the desired level, allowing excess water to flow over the gate plate to the lower-lying property. Penstocks serve as shut-off valves to temporarily block or allow (waste) water to pass through.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deadline met<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt the end of June 2023, the pits on the site were finished with the installation of GRP gratings on them,\u201d says Kristel. \u201cThe scheduled delivery deadline before the 2023 construction holiday was therefore easily met. This is partly thanks to the excellent cooperation between the teams of Collinet and Aclagro!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"37648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deschacht.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20230420_092651-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"20230420 092651 scaled\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"37650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deschacht.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20230420_094607-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"20230420 094607 scaled\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"37652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deschacht.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20230621_095159-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"20230621 095159 scaled\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"37654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deschacht.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20230621_114039-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"20230621 114039 scaled\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aclagro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wondelgem - Heist-op-den-Berg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">specialized in soil remediation, water treatment, infrastructure, demolition works, asbestos abatement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deschacht.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20230621_095159-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"20230621 095159 scaled\"\/><\/figure>","protected":false},"featured_media":2601,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"activiteiten":[177],"producten":[143],"class_list":["post-2598","realisaties","type-realisaties","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","activiteiten-engineering","producten-pompputten"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>KWZI De Klijte Heuvelland | Realisatie Deschacht<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"KWZI De Klijte in Heuvelland: maatwerk van het zuiverste water.
