For the pharmaceutical producer Pfizer in Puurs-Sint-Amands, there was a need to expand the capacity of the existing parking garage. Initially, the garage accommodated 800 parking spaces, but due to the company’s steady growth and increase in staff, it became necessary to expand this to 2000 spaces. Additionally, it was important that the expansion of the parking garage would have a green and sustainable appearance, in line with the desire for a more environmentally friendly environment. However, the problem of light pollution from the cars’ headlights in the garage arose. Polyned was asked to provide a solution for this.
Continental Car Parks carried out the expansion by building on two sides of the existing structure, increasing the total number of parking spaces to 2000. The exterior of the garage was enhanced with a green facade, which is not only aesthetically appealing but also contributes to a more sustainable environment. However, the increase in the number of parking spaces led to complaints about light pollution from residents. To address this issue, we produced and installed 1280 m2 of mesh screens that effectively diffuse the light from the cars and improve the overall appearance of the parking garage.
Jeroen Drenth, Director at Continental Car Parks, reflects on the project: “Our client is extremely satisfied with the cooperation and the result. It is wonderful to see that this expansion seamlessly integrates with the existing structure, creating a unified whole. The green facade gives the parking building a natural and friendly appearance.” This statement underscores the success of the project, where functionality, aesthetics, and environmental friendliness go hand in hand.
This expansion demonstrates our skill in providing technical textile solutions that are both aesthetic and functional and our ability to respond quickly and effectively to challenges arising from unforeseen circumstances.
