Water

Water is essential during a building process. To be able to do construction work, a lot of water is involved in materials, finishing, cleaning and excavation works. At Democo Green Desk, we invest in innovative construction processes that are less water consuming, and create our own sustainable resources on site.

For example, many of our own systems use groundwater and rainwater – and we’re also giving water back to the neighbourhood. The groundwater we pump up during excavation works is stored in containers to offer to local residents, city services and neighbouring companies.

Plenty of water for Laken

Water for the neighbourhood

“At Laurelle's construction site in Laken, we collected water from source dewatering in a 40 m³ container. We reused that water on the site itself and offered it to the neighbourhood, city services and local businesses!”

The self-sufficient building site

“Each construction site offers opportunities for self-sufficient and circular processes. With a tailored approach, we can reduce the ecological impact to the absolute minimum and take maximum responsibility as a sustainable contractor!”

Martha, Adviser Circular Economy

For architects

We advise architects in making construction plans, site layouts and technical drawings more sustainable. Our expertise in sustainable materials, construction techniques and a circular construction chain offers new insights for a truly sustainable design.

With a concrete step-by-step plan for the implementation of circular and self-sufficient systems on the construction site, we help you work out a design for a building with a minimal impact, today and tomorrow.

For governments

We help governments in making tenders, infrastructure projects and government buildings more sustainable – with a construction process that has the smallest possible ecological impact on the city and its residents.

We draw up a concrete step-by-step plan for the implementation of circular and self-sufficient systems and help you select and guide reliable, sustainable partners that share our vision and build for the future.

For building owners

We offer consulting & advice on ways to make your construction plans more sustainable – from the drawing board to the construction site. By collaboration on your building plans and revaluating the construction site, we help reduce the impact of the construction process, tailored to your project.

We help you in finding reliable, sustainable partners and support you in obtaining green certificates and subsidies.

In Mortsel we held a neighbourhood information market for local residents and neighbours of Stadsterras. We organized this first moment of contact long before construction started, ensuring we were well-informed about what people found important for their neighbourhood. Together, we were able to get to work based on those insights.

With the nearby school and the city of Mortsel, for example, we determined new, safe cycling routes for the children and drew up a specific brochure about adapted parking facilities during construction.

For the city of Antwerp, we built the architectural provincial government building: 14 floors of office space and a conference center with a capacity of 350 people on the ground floor. With 683 triangular windows and an eye-catching 'pivot', this beautiful building became a new landmark in the city. The compact design also left the neighbourhood with plenty of new green space.
