In Belgium, our teams were tasked with supplying and fully installing a pile-mounted carport structure designed to host one of the largest photovoltaic setups of its kind in the region. This first phase marks the start of an ambitious three-stage project built on technical precision, fast execution, and fully integrated coordination.

Site specifics

The project is structured across three distinct phases, each involving the installation of a pile-mounted carport. This phased approach makes it possible to adjust site organisation, streamline logistics, and ensure full control over installation across the entire area. The pile-based design provides excellent stability, even on terrain requiring deep, consistent anchoring.

Our response

For phase 1, our teams handled the entire process:

  • Structural sizing
  • GPS positioning
  • Pile installation
  • Structure assembly
  • Module mounting

Delivered in four months, this first stage demonstrates our ability to manage large-scale projects with efficiency and precision. Phases 2 and 3 will benefit from the same integrated approach, ensuring technical and qualitative consistency across the full project.
