In collaboration with the museum and the 'Cabinet for the Environment' of the City of Antwerp, Volle Grond is realizing a multifunctional climate roof in which urban agriculture, technology, climate adaptation and culture come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim is to create a green, productive and educational space on a currently paved and heat-sensitive roof surface. \nThis project combines innovative techniques with social and ecological added value, and functions as a demonstration site for circular and multifunctional roof concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The water regulating system of&nbsp;<strong>Global Water Control Systems<\/strong>&nbsp;is applied to the roof of the MHKA. This smart solution temporarily buffers rainwater on the roof and allows it to flow into the sewer system in a delayed manner. This creates space for greening, cooling and better urban water management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"634\" data-id=\"407\" src=\"https:\/\/globalrainlock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250612_103248-1024x634.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalrainlock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250612_103248-1024x634.webp 1024w, https:\/\/globalrainlock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250612_103248-300x186.webp 300w, https:\/\/globalrainlock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250612_103248-768x476.webp 768w, https:\/\/globalrainlock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250612_103248-1536x951.webp 1536w, https:\/\/globalrainlock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250612_103248.webp 1913w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Our system has been developed for maximum applicability:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Can be placed anywhere on the roof, suitable for all standard drains up to \u00d8125.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy to install yourself, with minimal technical handling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low-maintenance and robust \u2013 designed for a long service life<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All partners in this project:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alle partners in dit project:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 M HKA \u2013 End user of the roof, substantive and logistical partner \u2013 Facility Services Flemish Government \u2013 Building manager\/owner \u2013 no active role \u2013 Open Ground \u2013 Development of cultivation infrastructure, irrigation system, education and management \u2013 TAMCO \u2013 Contractor, development of cultivation trays, ponds and green tiles \u2013 BIVT \u2013 Stability advice \u2013 ILVO \u2013 Monitoring (CO\u2082 storage, water quality\/evaporation, humus formation) \u2013 Ateliers Damien Derouaux \u2013 Landscape design and spatial integration \u2013 Global WCS \u2013 Water Retention System Supplier and Consultant&nbsp;<strong>Global WCS \u2013 Leverancier en adviseur waterretentiesysteem<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project concerns the redevelopment of the roof of the M HKA (Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp), located in the heart of Antwerp.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":408,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nieuws"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
