Future-oriented buildings for industry and research
These days, the requirements your industrial building needs to fulfil involve much more than simply being operational. You are looking for a building that can be used in a flexible manner, tailored to your research, production or logistics processes. At the same time, the building must be an inspiring place to work, facilitate industrial innovation and be resilient to future challenges. But how do you ensure that all those ambitions come together in a single integrated design, without the risk of going over budget or encountering delays?
We convert your vision into a technically proficient design, with a focus on safety, energy efficiency, adaptability, and digital solutions: whether it concerns buildings for research, production, mobility or logistics. We combine sustainability with performance to ensure your facility not only performs optimally today, but also allows for growth, evolution, and changing processes. Our multidisciplinary approach means that every project is steered in the right direction from day one.
Quality and budgetary certainty throughout the life cycle
The more complex your project, the greater the importance of effective preparation and follow-up. That’s why we use specialised tools such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), SWOT analyses and Earned Value Management (EVM), to manage every stage of your construction process. You get a clear overview of the risks, performance and budgets, enabling you to maintain control of quality, planning and costs.
Our project managers guide you from the initial ideas up to and including the commissioning of your building. We also continue to support you as a life cycle partner after delivery. We exchange ideas tailored to your process, product or research goals and ensure that each design meets the most stringent technical and regulatory requirements. Whether your work involves developing new medication, advanced data infrastructure or logistics, we design environments that make it possible. We have experience with complex buildings such as laboratories, research infrastructure, clean rooms, data centres, nuclear facilities, logistics centres, and transport hubs.
For each project, we deploy specialised knowledge, including in the fields of energy, the environment, fire safety and systems engineering. This means you can be sure of an integrated approach in which design, regulation and operation are perfectly aligned.
Sustainable and energy-secure construction
These days, affordable energy is a priority. Our specialists help you by providing solutions that contribute to energy efficiency and lower operating costs. We start with a comprehensive energy audit and lifecycle analysis, and translate them into a tangible approach that may include solar panels, wind turbines and geothermal energy to heat pumps and charging infrastructure. We also take care of your EPB reporting, BREEAM certification and environmental files. You not only comply with all laws and regulations, but also create a building that stands out due to its sustainable performance.
Your building must also continue to perform in the long term. That’s why we offer maintenance and renovation services that allow you to further optimise your facility’s energy performance. For this purpose we use Digital Twins and Model Predictive Control (MPC). Together with KU Leuven’s Thermal Systems Simulation research group, we have developed disruptive technology that combines physical models and real-time measurement data. Thanks to a fully virtual model, a digital twin and the continuous control of all HVAC components, you achieve average energy savings of 20 to 40%, without compromising on comfort or performance.
Fire safety protects resources and people
Fire safety and crisis management are not optional aspects, but crucial components of your business continuity. That’s why we identify risks and scenarios using a comprehensive analysis that takes your unique business profile into account. We provide tailor-made solutions: from fire safety advice and extinguishing systems to emergency plans, training, and simulations. You can rely on our expertise in fire prevention, fire safety techniques and emergency management. We also bridge the gap between your company and external parties such as architects, contractors, fire brigades, insurers, and the authorities. Together, we ensure that people, assets and processes are protected, in emergencies too.
System engineering ensures an integrated approach
In multidisciplinary projects, it all boils down to making the pieces of the puzzle fit seamlessly together. Our systems engineers provide a structured approach that integrates every component of your project into a single coherent whole. We monitor the entire life cycle of your building with the aim of maximising performance, reliability, and sustainability. In doing so, we ensure coordination between all disciplines and systems involved, and translate your ambitions into a solid technical and executable plan.
