VDL De Meeuw was selected by the Belgian Buildings Agency as the winner of the framework contract for the construction of small-scale detention houses in Belgium. These innovative facilities are a crucial link in the execution of short-term sentences and focus on reintegration and self-sufficiency. Mainly thanks to its pioneering modular construction method that it developed in house, VDL De Meeuw emerged as the best party in the tendering procedure. In addition to the 600 housing units in detention houses, the federal government can deploy the framework contract for other projects with a total of 500 additional housing and reception units.
