The company expands its product portfolio in the Netherlands in the area of industrial roofs. This is the strength of Goldbeck Solar as a company from the industrial construction industry. The Maasvlakte project will be built on the roofs of the DHG Smartlog Maasvlakte logistics complex located directly on the port area of Rotterdam.
The buildings were constructed by the Dutch subsidiary of Goldbeck Bau. The client of Smartlog Maasvlakte is a partner with whom Goldbeck Solar has already collaborated on several occasions: Sunrock from Amsterdam.
Challenging surroundings
Considering the limited space available for photovoltaic projects in the Netherlands, the use of roofs was the right answer to occupy as many surfaces as possible in order to achieve the goals of the energy transition.

Construction of the solar installations at Smartlog Maasvlakte began at the end of May. “A particularly exciting project, not only because of its size, but also because of its unique location,” describes Tobias Friedrich, director of Goldbeck Solar Netherlands. “The logistics centre was built on a reclaimed promontory, and the North Sea climate, with lots of wind, sand and naturally salty air, places great strains on the solar modules.”. According to Goldbeck It should be possible to deliver the project before the end of this year. (hcn)
