What once began as the first acquisition of the then swimming pool builder Willy Naessens is today called Willy Naessens Concrete: a cluster of 12 specialised concrete plants. Together they form a frontline of innovation and sustainability within the sector, a machine that processes 2,000 m³ of concrete daily and 31,000 tonnes of steel annually. 'The strength of our group allows us to react faster than the competition.'

 

 

Roeselare's city hall received the Publica Award!
In collaboration with Megaton/Structo Prefab Systems.

City of Roeselare is building a new city hall, which will be the most sustainable city hall in Flanders. By the summer of 2024, a modern and open house that every Roeselare citizen can be proud of will open in the heart of the city, on the Grote Markt.
Before the construction of the town hall, the inhabitants of Roeselare were clear about their expectations. It had to be an accessible and sustainable house with greenery. Moreover, the historic town hall, the belfry and all the existing heritage had to fit seamlessly into the new building. This way, the renewed town hall remains a recognizable beacon in the city center.

The ambitions of Stad Roeselare in 2019 were clear: the city hall will be a house for the future. This means in concrete terms: smart design, circular demolition and construction, and investment in sustainable materials and energy-efficient techniques. Through these well-considered choices, the energy costs of water and electricity will drop significantly and we will think about the future and the climate.

Four years later, this choice pays off even more. The interim report by BREEAM, an international sustainability label, proves it. The city hall is still nicely on track to the 'excellent' label, a level that only a few public buildings in Flanders achieve. Add to that all the efforts Roeselare made during the circular demolition, which makes the new Roeselare town hall without a doubt the most sustainable in Flanders.
