Boplan safety solutions protect the Nest's corporate infrastructure at TVH Equipment
TVH Equipment, a leading company specializing in the rental and sale of industrial machinery, chose Boplan's sustainable safety solutions to protect the infrastructure of its new building, The Nest, in Waregem, Belgium. Learn how Boplan's innovative, impact-resistant solutions help prevent collision damage and foster a safe, efficient work environment.
The challenge
TVH Equipment opts for high-quality safety solutions
In a setting where heavy traffic from forklifts, access platforms, and other industrial vehicles is part of daily operations, protecting critical infrastructure is vital. At TVH Equipment, a major provider of industrial machinery sales and rentals, safety was a central focus during the construction of The Nest in Waregem, Belgium. The new facility includes a spacious workshop and warehouse where industrial machinery is in daily use, generating significant forklift traffic. This posed a substantial risk of collisions with critical infrastructure, including columns and gates. Damage to critical infrastructure could result in operational interruptions and costly repairs.
TVH Equipment sought durable, high-quality solutions to effectively protect its infrastructure from collision damage. By selecting Boplan, they invested in safety solutions that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing, complementing the modern and sustainable character of The Nest.
Robust safety barriers for TVH Equipment:
After a detailed risk assessment, Boplan provided safety products that are durable, visually appealing, and seamlessly integrate into the modern design of the new facility.
Bollards
Boplan's tough, impact-resistant polymer bollards were strategically placed at key locations such as underground car parks, access points, and around the exterior of the circular structure. These bollards are engineered to protect critical zones while improving visibility. With superior impact resistance and flexibility, they absorb collision forces and return to their original form. The exterior bollards surrounding the building feature a sleek black finish, enhancing the contemporary, modern design of The Nest.
KP Column protectors
Light poles and structural columns are high-risk points in busy work areas. This is especially true in environments with vehicles like forklifts, access platforms, and excavators. Collisions with columns or light poles can lead to problems ranging from superficial scratches to complete structural failures. To prevent this, KP column protectors were installed at key points across the site. KP Protectors are designed for impact resistance and feature a clean, modern design that enhances visibility. Like other products in the FLEX IMPACT® line, these protectors blend sustainability with a modern design that complements The Nest's aesthetic.
CP Corner Protector
To protect fragile corners and walls from impacts, corner protection was added to the underground car park at The Nest. These components protect walls and corners while promoting driver awareness. They minimize the risk of damage to infrastructure and vehicles during entry, exit, or maneuvering in tight spaces. They provide all the essentials for safer parking environments.
