CLIENT
Van Raak

Commissioned by Van Raak for a project by the Flemish Environment Agency (VMM) and in collaboration with Sweco, BestBridges supplied and installed three composite bridges in the Zenneweide in Lembeek. The bridges are part of an ambitious nature project in which 3.8 hectares of former industrial land is being transformed into an accessible nature park rich in water features. At the same time, the VMM is restoring the Kleine Zenne, with a particular focus on water retention, biodiversity, and the nature experience. The three bridges were constructed using InfraCore® fiberglass technology and measure 13.5 x 3 m, 13.5 x 2 m, and 16 x 3 m, respectively.

Low-Maintenance Composite Bridges With High Load-Bearing Capacity

The three bridges are designed to withstand a load of 5 kN/m², a 6-metric-ton service vehicle, and a 12-metric-ton emergency vehicle. Thanks to their lightweight and robust composite construction, the bridges could be installed with exceptional efficiency: the three structures were installed in less than one hour. The combination of InfraCore® fiberglass technology, high load-bearing capacity, and minimal maintenance requirements makes these composite bridges particularly suitable for sustainable bicycle, hiking, and nature trails.
