The perfect foundation thanks to the right road plates

In large-scale infrastructure projects in civil engineering, road and hydraulic engineering, a solid foundation and temporary supply and drainage routes are of great importance. They form a solid foundation on the job site and contribute to the smooth progress of the construction project. The Schaijk-based company Swanenberg IJzer Groep is a major supplier to the GWW in the field of rental and sale of road plates in the broadest sense of the word.

Top quality driving plates 

"For example, we supply steel road plates that serve as temporary surfacing on large-scale construction projects with which we make the construction site easily accessible and safely passable," says Adriaan Keijzer of Swanenberg Iron Group. The company has been known for its iron and steel products, such as metal pipes, beams and road plates, for more than 50 years. "Our road plates are available in various sizes and thicknesses. We note that over the years, construction traffic has become heavier and construction intensity has also increased. Moreover, nowadays construction is also taking place where it would not have been done before. We adapt our road plates to that." Swanenberg rents and sells top-quality steel road plates in order to use them to increase the stability of the ground, both on construction projects and at events. "Thanks to our large stock, we can deliver quickly. And we offer excellent service."

Dragline bulkheads

In places where the ground is poorly passable, Swanenberg supplies wooden dragline bulkheads. "These are available in various sizes and are mostly produced from azobé wood," Keijzer continues. "A very hard and durable type of wood that allows our dragline bulkheads to easily withstand the largest draglines with heavy tracks."

Plastic road plates

"Where there are smaller, inner-city infrastructure projects, our plastic road plates are widely used. These are more manageable and therefore easier to handle than steel road plates. For example, they are used as a temporary bicycle path or to protect the street and brickwork."

We solve it

"Our motto? We do what we say and we say what we do." Very important according to Keijzer. "We want to provide the customer with the right advice and think along with them about how that can be done most economically. A site visit helps us to properly assess what is needed. Because every building site is unique. Sometimes it is along a railroad line, sometimes it is for the construction of a solar panel park or a wind turbine. It's up to us to optimize the infrastructure to it, which saves costs for the builder. It adds value to a project if the work is clean and nothing subsides. We really want to unburden the client in this respect." In case of emergencies -such as a subsiding road surface- Swanenberg IJzer Groep is also available 24/7.
