De Groene Boog Rotterdam
Hat-trick for Safe!
The new A16 Rotterdam motorway should significantly improve accessibility and liveability in the region. The 11 km long motorway has been divided into three subareas by contractor combination De Groene Boog (Besix, Dura Vermeer, Van Oord, TBI, John Laing and Rebel). Safe was already involved in the first subarea. Then we were commissioned to support a viaduct in subarea 3. And in the last week of 2021, we were asked to take on a complex job in subarea 2 as well.
Crossover Amsterdam
At the corner of the A10 Zuid exit and the Europaboulevard, near hotel NHOW Amsterdam RAI, Crossover Amsterdam will be built. This multifunctional building will soon give a new impetus to the eastern part of the Zuidas, allowing Kop Zuidas to further develop into a lively and sustainable district in the coming years.
Rijnstate Elst hospital
Building consortium Berghege-Heerkens-Unica is building a new hospital in Elst for Rijnstate. Opposite the NS railway station, the hospital of the future will rise next year, bringing together various specialist treatments under one roof. Safe supports the wide slab floors and reinforced wide slab strips, totalling over 11,000m2.
Blankenburg connection Rotterdam
Yet another civil engineering job in Rotterdam! Commissioned by BAAK (construction consortium of Ballast Nedam, DEME Group and Macquarie), Safe is helping to build the Blankenburg connection. This new motorway (A24) improves traffic flow and makes the traffic network in the Rotterdam region more reliable. In addition, the road contributes to further growth of the port of Rotterdam and Greenport Westland.
Oosterweel connection Antwerp
In our previous newsletter, we already informed you about our project in Antwerp, the Oosterweel connection, through a sneak preview. Now more! The Oosterweelverbinding completes Antwerp's ring road, contributing to much better mobility. A traffic-safe infrastructure will be constructed, which will also ensure a more liveable environment. There will also be a wide range of sustainable transport alternatives, in the form of extensive cycling facilities, expansion of public transport and more P+Rs around the city.
Ukraine
Safe shows its heart for Ukraine.
Both for the entire Ukrainian population and also for some colleagues of our sister company Safe Slovakia in particular. For several years now, these support builders from Ukraine have been assembling the most insane constructions for Safe. Until a few weeks ago...
Meanwhile, they have been mobilised as soldiers and are fighting for their homeland. With all the risks involved. Unrealistic and unfathomable to us, yet close again.
Unanimously, the entire staff from the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland decided to support these people not only morally but also financially. Our own fundraising campaign raised a nice amount and will hopefully give the Ukrainians a financial boost.
At Safe, we continue to work on our beautiful projects, we are doing well, the sun is shining here. But in the meantime, our thoughts are with the Ukrainians and our Ukrainian colleagues, and sympathise with them immensely.
Bergwijk bridge in Merelbeke.
Replacement Bergwijk Bridge Merelbeke challenging project
The 60-year-old Bergwijk Bridge in the Fraterstraat over the Ringvaart in Merelbeke will be replaced by a brand new bridge with three lanes, a two-way bicycle path and a footpath. The current bridge is too low for modern shipping and offers insufficient safe space for road users.
Westwing Park
Westwing Tower: beautiful piece Westwing Park
Commissioned by Alheembouw, Safe is building the 13-storey Westwing Tower in Roeselare. This office tower with parking garage for approximately 350 vehicles is the final piece and also showpiece of the Westwing Park. The Westwing Tower brings the ultimate office experience to the most strategic location in West Flanders.
