Final concrete pour for large-scale Distribution Centre in Hulst is a fact

2 February 2024

On Friday, February 2nd, De Hoop Betonmortel delivered the final concrete for the impressive XXL distribution center at Hogeweg business park in Hulst. Spanning approximately 118,000 square meters and boasting over 1,000 parking spaces, this project stands as a milestone for Zeeuws-Vlaanderen.

To commemorate this achievement, all drivers from De Hoop Betonmortel and employees from the project clients, Van Berlo business floors and foundation technology, and the main contractor Hercuton, were treated to delicious bags of fries with snacks at the construction site. The commercial manager of De Hoop Betonmortel, Henk van Holten, personally thanked everyone on site for their tremendous effort. The other drivers and employees of De Hoop Betonmortel enjoyed fries and soft drinks at the ready-mix concrete plant in Terneuzen.

De Hoop Betonmortel has played a significant role in realizing this project, delivering as much as 450 cubic meters of concrete daily over the past months. This is equivalent to about 40 to 45 concrete mixers delivering concrete to the construction site each day.

This project, named "Park 34 Crossings," was developed by Hercuton in collaboration with Engh Real Estate. The modern distribution center, located on a plot of over 20 hectares, focuses on sustainability and biodiversity. Special attention was given throughout the project to enhance the natural environment by using native plant species.

In total, more than 33,500 m³ of concrete was poured for this memorable project. De Hoop Betonmortel is proud to have contributed to the successful realization of this distribution center and looks forward to the project's further progress.

The first phase of DC XXL is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2024, with the second phase anticipated by mid-2024. De Hoop Betonmortel remains committed to providing high-quality concrete deliveries and eagerly supports future construction projects in the region.
