On March 1st, demolition work began at the site of the Oude Molens in Deinze. This ambitious project, commissioned by 3D Real Estate/Atenor, involved the demolition of an imposing tower with a height of 56 meters. Verhelst Aannemingen eagerly took on this challenge.
The location of the tower next to the Leie created a unique situation where the demolition could only be approached from one side. To address this, we developed a creative approach. We placed a Mini Excavator in a container, which was then lifted up to demolish the top 15 meters of the tower. From then on, the demolition could continue from the ground with our Volvo 750 with a long demolition boom.
In addition to the aspect of 'height', the amount of dust released also had to be taken into account. To minimize the impact on the surrounding neighborhood, we provided a mist cannon.
The site of the Oude Molens consists of two phases, with a total area of 20,000 m2 that needs to be demolished. Phase 1 has been completed and is currently being developed by 3D Real Estate/Atenor. We are now busy with phase 2, which covers an area of 11,000 m2. Our experienced team is committed with the same dedication and expertise to successfully complete this phase as well.
At Verhelst Aannemingen, we are proud of our ability to tackle and successfully complete complex projects. We thank 3D Real Estate/Atenor for their trust in our craftsmanship and look forward to collaborating on new challenging projects in the future.
