Geeraard Van den Daelelaan

Steel fibres were used to reinforce the concrete, allowing it to be subjected to heavier loads, while restricting the formation of cracks. An excellent basis for Volvo Car Ghent, for example, which produces 1 Volvo every 50 seconds and uses 120 trucks daily for transport.

With companies such as Honda, Volvo Car Gent and Eurosilo in the area, continuous traffic flow during the works was essential. Each of these companies' exports cover a large part of the European market. The companies, the loading docks in the port and the railway tracks remained accessible.

With extensive experience in larger infrastructure works, concrete finishers took care of the mechanical processing of the concrete. As a field expert, BESIX Infra then took care of the finishing work.

Weekly consultations were held between BESIX Infra, Ghent Port Company and the nearby companies. The perfect co-operation and understanding between all parties involved contributed to the success of this project.
