Strong foundations for innovative cold storage in Gullegem

Franki Foundations is proud to contribute to the construction of a fully automated high-rise warehouse for Vanmarcke nv in Gullegem. This new deep-freeze storage facility represents an investment of 50 million euros and will become a benchmark in temperature-controlled logistics.

Strong foundations for an ambitious project

Commissioned by Aconstruct, Franki Foundations is responsible for the foundations of this technically demanding building. More than 1,230 Atlas piles have been installed:

  • 900 piles with enlarged heads under the high-bay section, ensuring optimal load-bearing capacity,

  • 330 construction piles at the front of the building, supporting the office area.

Our Woltman piling rig delivers the power and precision required for a project of this scale and complexity.

Coordination on a complex site

With many partners working simultaneously on site, precise coordination is key. Thanks to our expertise and our strong focus on safety and quality, we ensure smooth collaboration and reliable execution.

Trust in technical expertise

This project once again demonstrates the confidence placed in the food industry in Franki Foundations when it comes to carrying out technically challenging foundation works.

We thank Aconstruct and Vanmarcke nv for their trust and look forward to bringing more ambitious projects to life together.
