351 custom-made distribution boxes in Delft
Bethelpark now stands where Bethel Hospital once stood. After more than two years of construction by Van Wijnen Dordrecht, this central location in Delft is now home to 351 new apartments. Highly durable construction. From the start of construction, De Kraan Installatietechniek has designed and carried out all installation work, including the central heating, heat recovery system and underfloor heating. Bennie Coremans, Technical Director at De Kraan: "Wiggers soon contacted us about the finishing of the underfloor heating distributors. These are often standard steel boxes, but this project has such a wide variety of apartments that customisation was necessary. Wiggers was already involved in the casing of this project, so they were happy to take on this customisation as well."
From sketch to realisation
Bennie Coremans: "We've made a sketch plan for the design of the distribution boxes. Together with Wiggers, we examined the feasibility and suitability of this plan on location. Wiggers' employees then created two models. These were tested, optimised and put into production." The 116 different types of homes all have different dimensions. Working with a standard design was therefore not an option in this project: "We've made extensive use of customised solutions. Each home has its own box, fitting exactly into the space."
Sleek finish
The large number of distribution boxes were assembled and finished in the factory by Wiggers' co-creators. They are then packed on pallets, numbered and marked, as De Kraan does with its other products. This way, all products quickly ended up in the right home, per phase and building block. Bennie: "Wiggers had everything neatly packed. In foil, so nothing could be damaged. Our fitters only had to mount them on the wall on site. That was easy." The result? "Very neat boxes. In the desired white colour straightaway. The whole thing looks neatly finished."
