1,650 meters of floor channels

Flexible thanks to in-house production and engineering

The Stadswinkel in Tilburg will soon be the place where people can go for all the things they want to arrange with the municipality, such as services, products and information. Previously, a city office and a library were located here. For the renovation, HPL systems is supplying some 1,650 meters of floor channels.

HPL specializes in connection technology, including the open and recessed floor trunking systems supplied to BINX Smartility. This is the general contractor at the City Store, assembling the materials. Power and data cables are placed in the floor trunking system, which are terminated on floor boxes. These floor boxes then provide the end user with power and data at the workstation.

That this is a renovation makes the project extra special, says Gerwin Hulsen, commercial manager at HPL. "With that, it always remains to be seen in advance whether theory and practice correspond. Whether old building drawings match reality. Here, certain gutter depths turned out to be less than previously planned. We anticipated this by making them to measure. We produce everything ourselves and for us it was a small adjustment to change the height of the floor channels. Because we engineer and produce ourselves, HPL is very flexible."

Besides supplying the products, HPL also likes to think along with the client. In this project, too, they were thinking along from the consulting phase, Hulsen says. "We responded well to changes that were requested. We have been involved in this project since December 2019. It is a pleasant cooperation with BINX. We had already done several projects together, but not yet of this magnitude. BINX takes care of both the architectural and installation side and that works very pleasantly."
