ZNA HOSPITAL
Antwerp, BELGIUM
The ZNA Hospital is a new hospital in the city of Antwerp (Belgium). It is very unique, because it is one of the first high-rise hospitals in the country. The hospital has 21 floors, of which 19 are above ground. The total surface of the project is almost 100.000 m2.
​
Airdeck was selected as the lightweight floor system for the total hospital structure (including the underground parking). Flexibility in the project was very important and Airdeck came up with a tailor made drilling protocol to allow future drillings in the hospital building structure. The contractor was also able to have a good construction speed by using Airdeck.
​
The building structure is now finished and about 100.000 m2 of Airdeck panels were installed.
​
On the ground level, a tram will make a new connection in the Antwerp area. The tramway was installed on top of the Airdeck elements.
