The Groninger Museum is renowned for its iconic and distinctive architecture. Since its opening in 1994, designed by Italian architect Alessandro Mendini, the building has become a cultural landmark in the city of Groningen. To preserve this exceptional heritage, regular restoration and maintenance work is carried out. Recently, the museum's roof has been preserved and successfully completed.

Roof Works Groninger Museum Completed
A crucial part of the restoration was the steel roof. This roof not only forms an essential component of the architecture but also needs protection against weather effects. To ensure this, the steel was carefully treated: first, the surface was thoroughly cleaned and pre-treated, after which it was given a durable coating to achieve optimal adhesion. Thanks to this preservation, the roof will remain resistant to wear and other weather and time-related influences for an extended period.
During the works, preserving the original design was paramount. It was a complex and precise job for our construction painters, who ensured that the original design remained intact. Thanks to their meticulous work, the historical character of the building has been fully restored and is clearly visible again.
This restoration ensures that the Groninger Museum will maintain its striking appearance, durability, and cultural value well into the future.

Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Brinkmannpassage Haarlem
In the Brinkmannpassage in Haarlem, the former office and utility spaces are being transformed into approximately 100 apartments. To install cables and pipes, openings had to be made in the concrete floors, which involved cutting through part of the reinforcement. To restore the structural strength, SealteQ applied carbon fiber reinforcement.
