A project for which SealteQ West started conducting inspections, research, and engineering as early as 2017 is nearing completion in the autumn of 2020. In good harmony with Weijman Vastgoedonderhoud, hard work has been done to make the complex sustainable and future-proof for the client Haag Wonen.

Major maintenance at Erasmus Square complex nears completion
In addition to the extensive amount of concrete damage repaired by SealteQ, many specialized techniques have been applied in this project. For instance, due to the presence of de-icing salts on the emergency staircases, galvanic cathodic protection has been applied in addition to the concrete repair. Furthermore, all concrete work has been preserved after the concrete repairs were carried out, the rainwater drains have been replaced, and the balcony floors and emergency staircases have been provided with a durable anti-slip floor coating.
The most notable part of the project is that a completely integrated upgrade system has been installed on the galleries of 2 flat sections. These particularly sustainable and cleverly detailed raised floors have reduced all thresholds from the galleries into the apartments to a maximum of 2 cm. The floors have also been functionally widened, and the apartment complex is even better aligned with the needs of its residents. As a result, sustainability and life-cycle adaptability go hand in hand.

Galleries in Beverwijk reinforced with carbon reinforcement
We regularly see news reports about falling balconies or galleries breaking off from apartment buildings. The problem occurs all over the Netherlands. Anyone who searches via Google for falling balconies will see examples from Brabant to Friesland. To prevent breaking parts, we often structurally reinforce the concrete construction with carbon reinforcement during renovation. SealteQ is one of the small group of experts in the Netherlands in this application. For example, our specialists from SealteQ Ivacon reinforced the galleries of an apartment in Beverwijk, above the Plantage shopping center.
