COMPREHENSIVE RENOVATION IN AALBORG

Since 2017, the Himmerland Housing Association's buildings on Henning Smiths Vej and Poul Buaas Vej in Aalborg, Denmark, have undergone a comprehensive renovation. In addition to merging the buildings' 210 original apartments into 195 apartments, the interior renovation also includes new elevators, new floors and ceilings, as well as new bathrooms and kitchens.

The exterior renovation of the buildings has included brand-new balconies in Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC). The balconies vary in both length and width, but they all share the common feature of providing new, usable outdoor spaces for the building's residents.

THE HI-CON ELEMENTS

Hi-Con has supplied approximately 700 elements in light UHPC CRC i2® for the renovation project. These elements include standard balcony bases, bookshelf balconies, entrance sections, wall elements, top elements, and columns, all contributing to giving the building a completely new and modern look.

The project was nominated in 2022 for the "Renoverprisen," awarded to Denmark's best renovation projects.

"We chose the company's own employees to install the balconies, and we have found Hi-Con to be a flexible, serious, and solution-oriented partner, who has been very engaged and highly visible on the construction site."
