Its role EPC
K-Boringen nv is a Belgian specialist contractor in trenchless construction, focusing on microtunnelling and pipe jacking for pipelines and utility tunnels.
Founded in 1978 in Hasselt, it handles pipe diameters from DN800 to DN3500 (outer up to 4100 mm) and drive lengths over 1,500 metres using laser, theodolite or gyroscopic guidance, hydraulic intermediate stations, automated bentonite lubrication and multiple front-support methods for varied soils including rock.
The company operates across Europe in more than 15 countries, executing crossings beneath rivers, roads, railways and urban infrastructure with minimal surface impact. It has delivered landmark projects such as Belgium’s longest microtunnel (1,288 m, DN3000) for the ECLUSE steam network under the Scheldt.
Acquired in full by the APK Group in 2021, K-Boringen retains its name and expertise while benefiting from group resources; it maintains in-house workshops and an engineering department, establishing it as a leading European provider of sustainable underground infrastructure solutions in the civil engineering sector.

The ECLUSE tunnel under the Scheldt is complete, enabling steam transport from waste-to-energy facilities to Evonik, reducing CO₂ emissions and supporting Antwerp's energy transition.
The ECLUSE tunnel will transport steam across the Scheldt, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions by connecting waste-to-energy facilities with industrial users.
ECLUSE 2 will transport steam under the Scheldt, reducing CO2 emissions by 100,000 tons annually and supporting green energy goals with a new tunnel for future industrial connections.
