fortis ag
new office building complex
The headquarters of AG Insurance, the insurance division of BNP Fortis Paribas is located along the busy main thoroughfares between Noordwijk and the centre of Brussels. VK carried out the stability study for this project.
The building consists of 4 underground floors, used mainly for parking, and 9 above ground level, constructed as wings around 2 inner courtyards. The entire weight of the building rests on a grillage foundation, which also functions to suppress the underground water reservoir. The floors were constructed using prefabricated floor slabs wherever possible, sometimes spanning from one facade to another. Large conference halls can be found on the ground floor and on the top floor of the building.
