​Commissioned byDuraVermeer/Dura Vermeer Bouw Zuid West B.V., we are installing Fundex combi piles and Tubex piles the construction of the new residential tower. Reusing the existing basement with new foundation piles—a brilliant concept and what a fantastic solution!

Dura Vermeer is constructing a high-end residential building at Blaak 333 in Rotterdam. The 75-meter-tall tower will contain more than 300 apartments, with space on the ground floor designated for restaurants and communal areas.

Fundex is currently busy drilling 87 Tubex® piles ) with a length of 27 meters and 42 Fundex® composite piles (ø540/670) with a maximum length of 30 meters. The newly installed piles partially integrated with the existing foundation of the previous building. The existing basement will be transformed into a solid foundation structure, upon which the high-rise building will be constructed in the coming years. 

Fundex drives the foundation piles into the ground, which results in less vibration and noise pollution for the immediate vicinity. To support the weight of the drilling rig (Fundex F3500), a temporary support structure has been erected over the existing foundation pit.
