A sustainable parking solution for heavy equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the expansion of their site in Ghent, Boels Rental invested in new parking facilities that not only provide sufficient load-bearing capacity for their heavy rental machinery, but also comply with the strict infiltration regulations of the City of Ghent.\n\nThe challenge was twofold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The site is located in a flood-prone area, meaning the environmental permit could only be granted on the condition of demonstrable water infiltration.<\/li>\n
  2. The paving had to be extremely durable, resistant to the continuous movement of excavators, cherry pickers, and other heavy vehicles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Deschacht as a thinking partner in the permitting process.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Because classical pavings such as asphalt or dense concrete did not meet urban requirements, Deschacht actively joined the table with architect Koen De Rycke (Archiotec) to arrive at a technically and legally feasible solution.\n\nThanks to the patented system<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    the project could be approved after all. The water-permeable structure guarantees sufficient infiltration and prevents peak runoff to the sewer system \u2014 a crucial requirement of the City of Ghent.\n\nAll other proposals were rejected by the city; only Drainix Traffic met the necessary infiltration criteria and structural strength requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Drainix Traffic: the standard for heavy-duty permeable paving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    For this project, 4,000 m\u00b2 of Drainix Traffic 20 cm was installed \u2014 the newest variant within the Drainix range, specially designed for heavy traffic.\n\nThe key features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Increased compressive strength through extra reinforcement and a height of 20 cm, making the structure resistant to heavy rolling stock.<\/li>\n
    • Open concrete cellular structure that allows direct infiltration of rainwater into the subsoil.<\/li>\n
    • Sustainable concrete quality that extends the lifespan of the pavement, even with intensive use.<\/li>\n
    • Compatible with water-permeable foundations for maximum infiltration and minimal maintenance requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      The result: a sturdy, permeable concrete parking lot that effortlessly supports the weight of heavy machinery while simultaneously contributing to sustainable water management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Betocor: experienced supervisor with Drainix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The construction of the parking lot was carried out by Betocor, a contractor with extensive experience in working with Drainix systems. Thanks to their expertise, the installation went smoothly and a perfectly even, water-permeable surface was achieved.\n\nBetocor has meanwhile completed several projects with<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      executed and will rely on this innovative system again in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Sustainable profit for Boels and the city of Ghent.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Thanks to the collaboration between Deschacht, Archiotec, Van Moer Hector, and Betocor, Boels today has a sustainable, robust parking solution that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • meets the strict infiltration requirements of the City of Ghent,<\/li>\n
      • sustainable water management guarantees,<\/li>\n
      • and is resistant to heavy traffic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        A textbook example of how smart engineering and innovative products like Drainix Traffic contribute to future-proof infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
