Fall and edge protection for the iconic BAN project Antwerp
The prestigious BAN project at Nieuw Zuid in Antwerp represents an exceptional development. Led by main contractor Van Laere, and commissioned by Triple Living, the complex consists of two buildings with a three-level underground car park and, above ground, 295 residential units, offices, hospitality spaces and retail areas.
Designed by Pritzker Prize laureate Shigeru Ban, it will become both an architectural icon and a new landmark in the city. During the construction phase, working safely at height is crucial. For temporary fall and edge protection on site, the Catch Fans nets by SafetyRespect were selected, installed by High & Safe, part of the HELI group. The nets extend 3 m outward and provide reliable protection against falling objects as well as against people who might accidentally fall over the edge.
Safety at height: no detail overlooked
On complex sites like the BAN project, fall protection is an essential measure. High & Safe installed nets that are both strong and efficient, and can be adapted to the specific conditions of each part of the building. This allows teams to work safely, even on the upper tower levels and during the execution of advanced timber and façade structures.
The benefits of Catch Fans nets on site:
• strong and stable fall protection
• quick installation and dismantling, ideal for temporary applications
• practical and safe for all workers at height
Effective edge and fall protection not only ensures safety, but also smoother workflows:
• safe working conditions for all teams
• reduced risk of incidents
• less downtime on site
• less administrative and organisational stress
