Biostoom Beringen
Biostoom Beringen was my first and most important Bim project that
I was allowed to develop for
Strabag Belgium NV
after completing my training as a BIM draftsman, which I obtained
through VDAB/Cevora.
At the Beringen biosteam power plant, energy is generated by
incinerating 200,000 tons of non-hazardous and non-recyclable
waste per year. In concrete terms, this mainly concerns household
and commercial waste assimilated, plus non-hazardous hospital
waste. The result of combustion is thermal energy that can be
supplied to the immediate vicinity in the form of steam or hot
water. The remaining available energy is converted into
electricity.
Campus Cadix
Cadix Van Averbeke was my 2nd most important Bim project on which
I was allowed to work and this also for
Strabag Belgium NV.
This project had all the right obstacles to fail. We had to work
with all the latest gadgets and techniques in order to work in the
most efficient and organised way. We had to adapt the model the
point cloud model to the new and desired situation.
The surveyor had made the model with a 3D scanner by scanning
inside and outside of the building and after this process he sent
the file with the point cloud to India so that it was drawn there.
A point cloud is a model that consists of millions of black dots.
The team in India created the first base model based on the point
cloud and Google maps 3D. We then had to adapt this base model to
the new situation.
The project for the new Cadix school campus on the
"Eilandje in Antwerp" is a complex urban and
architectural design assignment. It concerns the integration of
two secondary schools (Stedelijke Lycea) and homes in a
metropolitan port environment. The very diverse program components
are divided over a large new-build block and various existing,
monumental buildings, which will be merged, restored, renovated
and expanded.
Ghelamco Arena
The Ghelamco Arena was my first major structural project that I
was able to help develop in my first job as a draftsman.
Ergon Nv was my first employer and it was there
that i got my first skills as an 2D-architectural draftsman. I had
to work with the engineering team for the design of prefab
concrete elements, formwork plans and reinforcement implementation
plans. The new Ghelamco arena along the Ottergemsesteenweg in
Ghent is a multifunctional stadium, with 20,000 seats, of which
approximately 18,250 regular seats, 1,160 business seats, 264
seats in skyboxes and 264 seats in the office boxes and 84 seats
for wheelchair users, and in which offices and football pitches.
related and commercial spaces are accommodated. The new urban
development where the new Ghent football stadium is located is
roughly located in the corner of the E40 and E17, the wholesale
market used to be here. Developer Ghelamco engaged Bontinck
Architecture & Engineering for the master plan for the entire
area. The same architectural firm also took on the design of the
Brico Plan-it location, the stadium itself and two office towers
on his behalf.
