The sorting centre processes up to half a million parcels a day. Heras supported construction company Hercuton in securing more than 2 kilometers of perimeter and the management of traffic flow. <span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">The overall project was completed within a year.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>The challenge<\/h2>\n<p>DHL Parcel opened the largest and greenest parcel sorting centre in the Benelux in October 2019 in Zaltbommel. The sorting centre handles more than half a million parcels a day to 140 depots and 21 DHL sorting centres in the Benelux and other destinations in Europe. Construction company Hercuton developed the building according to the BREEAM Excellent criteria for sustainable buildings. The building covers a total of 30,000 square metres and stands on a site the size of fifteen football pitches. Hercuton appointed Heras to secure the perimeter of this imposing building and to separate freight and passenger traffic.<\/p>\n<h2>The approach<\/h2>\n<p>The DHL Parcel Hub Zaltbommel is equipped to sort 500,000 parcels per day. Speed and efficiency are therefore of great importance.The sorting centre and the surrounding grounds are optimally designed for the rapid flow of freight traffic. Every day, hundreds of trucks and vans drive onto the site, delivering or collecting parcels at one of more than 172 docking stations. In addition, access for staff and visitors must be safely separated from freight traffic. In addition to this, the entire perimeter had to be secured with more than 2 kilometres of fencing. That is why Hercuton and DHL Parcel were looking for an expert, reliable and committed partner to realize this<br \/>\nchallenging project. Heras was selected as the most suitable partner.<\/p>\n<h2>The result<\/h2>\n<p>With Heras\u2019 products and services, inbound and outbound traffic of personnel, visitors and freight is separated in a safe, fast and efficient way. Partly because of this, DHL Parcel can process more than half a million parcels a day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of 2019, DHL Parcel opened the largest and most sustainable parcel sorting centre in the Benelux.
