First installation of DTI-Energies in Belgium - Brussels

Tour & Taxis (French: Tour et Taxis, Dutch: Thurn en Taxis) is a large formerly industrial site in Brussels, Belgium.

The site is composed of large warehouses and offices surrounding a former train station and its spacious central hall. The buildings on the site are made of brick, glass and wrought iron, examples of the quality of 19th-century architecture. Though it was long disused following its loss of importance as a shipping and customs hub, the site has now been partially restored, and is now used for large cultural events, including Couleur Café and the Brussels Design Market, as well as office space. It is situated on the Brussels Canal in the City of Brussels municipality, immediately adjacent to Sint-Jans-Molenbeek, just northwest of the city centre and about a kilometre west of the Northern Quarter financial district.

As part of this redevelopment project, Extensa has selected a solar light solution.

In order to achieve a low cost installation due to the lack of civil engineering involved, two solar candelabra type Champ NG were installed on this site in one morning and were operational the same evening.

The DTI-Energies team thanks Extensa for its confidence.
