Client: BC Gasthuiskwartier V.O.F.
Location: ‘s-Hertogenbosch
Gacon was commissioned by BC Gasthuiskwartier V.O.F. to apply durable protective coating systems to the floors, walls and ceilings of the basement.
The basement of the former Groot Ziekengasthuis has been given the function of parking basement on layer -1 and bicycle storage with storerooms on layer -2.
The walls and ceilings covering an area of more than 13,000 m2 were coated with the Sikagard-675 W ElastoColor system, a water vapour permeable and concrete-protective coating system.
The parking basement with a surface area of more than 7,000 m2, which was provided with a new monolithic finished concrete floor, was coated with a 4-layer water vapour permeable coating system with anti-slip profile based on Sikafloor-2540 W. After application of the base system, the parking bays were applied using contrasting colour areas, as well as the lines and figuration such as directional arrows.
The bicycle shed with storerooms (approx. 2,000 m2) was coated with a 3-layer water vapour permeable coating system based on Sikafloor-2540 W with a fine anti-slip profile. This anti-slip profile was achieved by mixing in SikaGrip in the last layer.
The ramp has a highly durable finish with a wear layer based on fast-curing PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) from Alsan Soprema.
About the Gasthuis Quarter
On the more than five-hectare site of the former Groot ZiekenGasthuis, the Gasthuiskwartier is appearing. A special new city district, between the old city centre and the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal. Gasthuiskwartier connects the city's past with the life of today. It will be a varied area. With imposing town houses, but also quiet streets and secluded courtyards. With a diversity of buildings of different heights, shapes and colours.
