The architecture and engineering group Sweco expands further in Europe with the acquisition of the Belgian company Venac, leader in acoustic studies for the Belgian and Luxembourg construction market.

Erwin Malcorps, Managing Director of Sweco Belgium, declares: “Venac’s expertise in all facets related to acoustics and vibrations is currently highly sought after in the market and plays an important role in the development of sustainable construction projects. Together with Venac we will be one of the few engineering firms in the Belgian and Luxembourg market that can offer complex integrated projects across all disciplines.

We can relieve the burden on clients and architectural firms even more through our unique combination of sustainable construction techniques and acoustic services. This is how we meet the increased comfort requirements and the sharply rising demand for a wide service range for integrated construction projects, mainly in terms of comfort requirements.”
