Tractebel and atelier adr: Engineering and Design Collaboration

Tractebel, an international engineering and consulting company based in Brussels, Belgium, traces its origins to 1862. Currently led by Anne Harvengt, its present configuration results from the evolution and subsequent integration of various Belgian companies linked to energy and infrastructure, including Tractionel and Electrobel, which merged in 1986. Since 2016, it has operated as Tractebel and is part of the ENGIE group. The company undertakes projects in energy, infrastructure, and territory through multidisciplinary teams that integrate engineering, design, planning, environmental and social studies, project management, and digital tools. Its activities range from large energy and hydraulic systems to complex buildings, transport infrastructure, port and maritime facilities, electrical and gas networks, data centers, and projects related to renewable energy.
