In 2010, a large-scale renovation project was completed on the Port City Rotterdam site. This project highlighted Buzons innovative solutions for urban public spaces, using the versatile and robust DPH adjustable pedestals.

Materials and technology

More than 50,000 DPH pedestals were installed for this project, with an average height of 62.5 mm. These pedestals were chosen for their exceptional load-bearing capacity and their ability to provide a stable and durable structure. This was critical for the high-traffic environment, where both aesthetics and functionality are essential.

The plazas and walkways were lined with high-quality wood decking, known for its durability and weather resistance. This material, combined with the adjustable DPH pedestals, provided a seamless and stable installation that met the highest quality standards. The innovative design of the DPH pedestals facilitated installation and maintenance, which ensured the longevity of the squares.

Flexibility and sustainability

Leading architectural firm Meyer and Van Schooten Architects along with Baart & Benthem Crouwel Architects designed an environment that exudes both modernity and robustness. The flexibility of the DPH pedestals allowed the squares to perfectly adapt to the existing topography, resulting in a flat and aesthetically pleasing surface. This project illustrates how technical solutions can be integrated into prestigious public spaces to ensure both durability and visual appeal.

Thanks to the expertise the two architectural firms and the high-quality Buzon solutions, Port City Rotterdam now has plazas and walkways that meet the highest standards of design and sustainability. This project is an excellent example of how Buzon footings can transform public spaces into functional and visually appealing areas, and it demonstrates Buzons commitment to providing sustainable and stylish solutions for urban environments.
