The ‘Roundabout of Tomorrow’ is so unique because it is<br />
the first cradle-to-cradle roundabout in the Netherlands,<br />
and possibly in the entire world. But what is so unique<br />
about this roundabout, what makes it so sustainable<br />
and reusable? Firstly, we have moved away from asphalt<br />
as the hardening structure of the roundabout and used<br />
concrete. Concrete has a longer lifespan and requires<br />
little maintenance. The type of concrete used by DEN<br />
OUDEN GROEP has very low CO 2 emissions, namely<br />
about 70% less than normal. Thirty years from now, it<br />
is possible to remove each component separately and<br />
reuse it. This makes the roundabout cradle-to-cradle.<br />
Not just the roundabout is unique, but the form of<br />
cooperation was a bit different than usual as well. From<br />
the very beginning, DEN OUDEN GROEP, the municipality<br />
of Venlo, and Kragten were in open conversation with<br />
each other and with suppliers, subcontractors, Zuyd<br />
Hoogeschool, public utilities, and residents.The physical<br />
activities commenced on 6 June 2017, and the roundabout<br />
was ready for use at the end of August 2017.<br />
The construction of the new public space ‘Ligne’<br />
(30,000 m 2 ) has the goal of realising a new multifunctional<br />
area. The work consisted of a large number of sustainable<br />
applications. The challenging work included the<br />
redevelopment of hardenings, sewage work, removing<br />
concrete cylinders, applying quay walls, applying bridges,<br />
drainage work, archaeological research, applying green<br />
facilities, applying street furniture, and applying a bypass<br />
for the Keutelbeek with a flow rate of 35 m³/sec!<br />
This was the most complex and biggest project of<br />
DEN OUDEN GROEP to date. Many parties have had a<br />
hand in the work, such as the architect, water authority,<br />
and the municipality of Sittard itself.<br />
But the most important thing is… the client is very<br />
satisfied!<br />
