After almost 30 years, the parking deck at the Ekris car dealership in Velp was due for renewal. Pardak®80 offered the best solution for this existing rooftop car park!
EFFICIENT USE OF SPACE
Ekris car dealership is a family business that has been around since 1939. With no less than 10 locations, the company serves the entire country of The Netherlands. The branch in Arnhem (Velp) opened in 1995 and was designed with an efficient layout that included a parking deck. In the 1990s, Pardak®60 was the system for these types of low-intensity roofs.


Renovation
In 2023, nearly 30 years later, the roof needed replacement. To keep up with the latest technological advancements, Pardak®80, the successor to Pardak®60, was the best solution for this roof. This system includes a tensioning element that provides more stability. Moreover, there was a desire to add charging stations, something that is easy to integrate with this system. The roof is now ready to last for many more years!

We, at Ekris Arnhem, had been struggling with the outdated parking deck for some time. In close consultation with Zoontjens about our ideas for the premises, such as charging stations, solar panels, and a nice presentation of our used cars outside, we jointly came to this idea. The execution was thoroughly discussed in advance with both our branch manager and contacts from Emil Frey. Once the work began, everyone knew what was possible. At Ekris Arnhem, it’s naturally always busy, so we had to take that into account. The contractors adhered strictly to the schedule and actively thought along with us in finding great solutions to potential problems.
