Henri-Alexis Brialmont (1821-1903) était un militaire néerlandais qui se démarqua pour son génie technique. D'ouvrier agricole, il deviendra le créateur de fortifications à Anvers, Namur et Liège. Par ailleurs, il nourrissait un grand intérêt pour l'entreprise coloniale. Il entretenait une correspondance avec Léopold II et réalisa également le fort de Kinshasa.
