Infrabel electrification programmes, Brussels Metro 3, Liefkenshoek (operational baseline) — 3 kV DC / 25 kV AC.
Cross-border rail-electrification workforce mobilisation against Infrabel (Belgian rail infrastructure manager) electrification + re-electrification programmes (3 kV DC legacy / 25 kV AC modern conversion), Brussels Metro 3 electrification, and the Liefkenshoek rail tunnel (Antwerp port, completed 2014) as historical baseline — SSICF/DVIS rail safety, AREI/RGIE electrical code.
