Kvæsthusmolen – Ofelia Plads

First in-situ trial with the new pavement texture and special equipment both developed by PELCON

During Spring 2013 Pelcon was invited to join the Kvæsthusmolen project in order to establish a special concrete surface texture. Peter Laugesen & the Pelcon team accepted the challenge and develeoped a new appearance by: Designing of a new dark concrete mix, inventing the grooves in fresh concrete, developing the groove'er tool, being birth helper for the pavement. Many thanks to Julie Kierkegaard Landskabsarkitekter for asking us and for brilliant cooperation !

Peter Laugesen er geolog – og opfinder. Det var ham der blev ringet til, da Ofelia Plads skulle renoveres og man ønskede en helt særlig belægning. Det sørgede Peter Laugesen for. Han opfandt en særlig måde at støbe beton på – farvet og med helt særlig rillet struktur. Prøv at lægge mærke til den belægning. Den er anderledes, smuk på sin egen måde og er med til at give Ofelia Plads et helt særligt look. Det at opfinde en helt ny form for belægning siger noget om det generelle ambitionsniveau for den nye Ofelia Plads.Copenhagen Opera Festival
