Brilliant Groep Business Premises

7000 m2 floor surface 1856 piles

In Duiven we are making vibrated SD piles for the foundations of new premises for Brilliant Groep.

Vroom Foundation Technology is on site, making over 1800 vibrated SD piles in lengths of 8 m, with diameter 180 mm.

Vibrated SD (small-diameter) piles are formed in-situ and displace soil. They can be used as the foundations for floors in production halls and under piled embankments. The combination of piles and floor often leads to a money-saving design. The vibrated SD piles are installed with a very high production timeframe.

BREEAM

Work on the new building started in September. Construction is now in full swing, with a focus on creating energy-efficient premises with a surface area of 7,000 m2. The project is expected to be completed in June 2022.

The building is BREEAM-certified, with the ambition of achieving an Outstanding award. This is the highest possible classification that can be attained in the internationally-recognised system for classifying the sustainability of buildings. This means that highly sustainable building methods and materials must be used. With this in mind, it is possible to build a demonstrably very sustainable building and, to a certain extent, one which utilises the principles of circularity. This means that the building is energy-efficient, has a small environmental footprint, is low-maintenance and represents a higher market value than comparable non-certified projects. Important features:

The building is fully modelled using BIM. This is the best way to prevent failure costs and unnecessary material wastage

A procurement strategy has been drawn up to help keep the impact of materials on the environment as low as possible, with a life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) for each element.

All the wood used in the project is demonstrably certified as being from sustainable sources.

A sustainability manager has been appointed to set targets and monitor progress during the project. This means that its impact on the surrounding area will be reduced to a minimum.

In addition to being an energy-efficient building, another key focus area is the comfort and health of the future user. This includes aspects such as strict standards for natural light, indoor climate requirements and a ban on the use of substances that contain volatile organic compounds.
