Site specifics

Designing a high-clearance carport for buses—with integrated charging zones—comes with strict structural requirements: reinforced resistance, long-span engineering, efficient vehicle flow management, and enhanced safety. The 6-metre height ensures smooth circulation for the fleet while providing a fully usable solar surface.

Our response

Our teams supported this unique installation by providing engineering expertise and hands-on assembly of the carport structure. Working closely with Omexom NL, we helped deliver a robust and functional solution tailored to the specific needs of transport infrastructure.
