- 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞 Foteini Kyrousi 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 IMDC is proud to have been part of the Flémalle CCGT. As part of TRACTEBEL, we provided the water engineering expertise for the cooling water system, supporting the design and optimisation of both the intake and outfall structures. From hydraulic performance and design screening to thermal plume modelling, sedimentation assessment and scour protection design, we addressed the key water-related challenges from intake to discharge.

Our aim was simple: create a straightforward, low-tech setup using readily available materials. It’s a hands-on way to bring science and passion for the water environment to kids. Here’s a look behind the scenes at the ‘making of’. Take a peek at the preparations, and we hope the children are as enthusiastic at Questival next week! 🔗 Ekoli Questival:

The demonstration marked an important milestone within the 𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄 project, highlighting how collaboration between industry, research organisations, and academia can drive
- You can only protect what you understand. 👀 Understanding aquatic ecosystems starts with data. At IMDC, we use water quality measurements, ecological observations, field surveys, and modelling to better understand how rivers, streams, wetlands, and estuaries function and evolve over time. Monitoring data helps us track ecosystem health, assess environmental pressures, support restoration efforts, and evaluate the impacts of human activities. These insights enable policymakers, authorities, and project developers to make informed
