Kielpark Towers Renovation, Belgium
The new Kielpark Towers will pay tribute to the existing towers. The building is equipped with the most sustainable technologies, including a collective heating system that operates with a heat pump, solar panels for electricity in common areas, extra insulation, low-temperature floor heating, and precast concrete panels.
Dextra supplied Groutec L et Groutec S_ couplers for the connection of precast concrete panels to slabs. The precast construction technique significantly contributes to sustainable building practices in the following ways:
- Requires fewer materials, such as grout, rebar, and concrete.
- Accelerates construction cycles by three times compared to cast-in-place methods, reducing pollution and waste.
- Offsite construction reduces man-hours by 20% compared to conventional methods using corrugated pipes.
- Enhances accuracy and minimizes mistakes during on-site installation.
