Description

Construction of a new railway stop serving the Belval-Université site. A flagship project for the conversion of Luxembourg’s industrial wastelands, with a surface area of 120 hectares, Belval has been designated a “National Development Cluster” by the government. The new railway station project serves the “Terrasse des Hauts Fournaux” and “Square Mile” districts, sites destined to house the University of Luxembourg, among other facilities.

Milestone’s services cover structures and infrastructures. The design office’s mission began with the review and validation of the preliminary design (carried out by a colleague), preparation of the tender documents and detailed specifications, the execution project, control and supervision of the work and, finally, submission of the final construction documents.
