Extension of 't Zand car park in Bruges

Extension of 't Zand car park in Bruges, access and emergency hatches integrated into the public benches







1) The context

't Zand is the largest square in Bruges. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it housed the station. Today it is the concert hall that sits there, planted with lime trees. Mecawa carried out the study, design, manufacture, and installation of bespoke emergency hatches for the general contractor CIT Blaton, in charge of the extension of the underground car park for the company Interparking. Interparking has increased the capacity of the car park, 635 additional parking places have been created, bringing the total number of places to 1887.




2) The customer

CIT Blaton has been active in the construction industry for over 150 years.

A big name among general contractors in Belgium and abroad.

Each collaboration has been a real success...

Mecawa thanks them for their trust and loyalty.



3) The project challenges

The customer was looking for a partner capable of :

  • Take charge of the study, design, manufacture and assembly of the equipments.
  • Integrate the hatch in an optimal way according to the aesthetic and technical requirements imposed by the architect.
  • Propose an opening and closing system corresponding to safety requirements, guaranteeing access to firefighters, considering specific requirements.






4) The proposed solution

In compliance with our client's requirements, the following solutions have been provided :

  • Assisted hatch opening by gas springs
  • Watertight hatches thanks to the integration of a rainwater recovery system
  • Possibility of opening the hatch from the inside using a handle
  • Opening of the hatch from the outside with a fireman's key








5) Results and conclusions

A new reference to put to our credit.

As usual, the various topics and main contractual specificities (specifications, budget and deadlines) were met and respected according to the agreements initially defined with the customer.

We would like to thank CIT Blaton for this partnership, we look forward to being challenged on new projects !
