Heavy infrastructure, crane rental, and specialty transport across Belgium and nuclear decommissioning projects
Aertssen operates three core divisions—civil construction, crane services, and exceptional-load transport—across Belgium with expanding nuclear decommissioning work (Doel plant, radioactive waste handling, grouting systems). The tech stack reflects hybrid operations: Civil 3D and BIM for design/planning, Dynamics 365 for ERP, Azure/AWS for infrastructure, and Asio + Notion for project coordination. Construction and logistics dominate hiring (81 of 129 roles), while pain points cluster around climate regulation compliance, groundwater monitoring, and scaling grouting/decontamination capabilities—indicating aggressive growth in hazardous-site remediation.
