Storm & Q8 projects

Each project involved the construction of a fast-charging station equipped with multiple charging points offering ultra-fast charging capabilities of up to 400 kW. The stations supplied 100% renewable energy sourced from Belgium.

Some of these fast-charging stations were further expanded through an additional contract, awarded via a separate tender, for the development of a retail unit, which included a wide selection of sandwiches and coffee and/or a restaurant, such as McDonald's.

Four different concepts were possible.

• 1) Small site: a fast-charging station consisting solely of charging infrastructure and charging bays, either with lighting columns or a canopy.
• 2) Medium site: similar to a small site, but with the addition of a shop. For the shop, the scope includes the wind and watertight shell construction. The finishing will be outsourced to another contractor.
• 3) Large site: similar to a small site, but with the addition of a restaurant: For the restaurant, the scope includes the wind and watertight shell construction. The finishing will be outsourced out to another contractor.
• 4) Extra large site: similar to a small site + shop + restaurant (wind and watertight shell construction).

Storm & Q8 project Dinant

For the project in Dinant, STRABAG Belgium was awarded the contract for the development of a small site. On a large existing car park at Carrefour, a canopy in CLT with a green roof was constructed, covering six charging bays over an area of 30 by 5 metres.

The project in Dinant started in June 2025 and was completed in October 2025.

Storm & Q8 project Ciney

For the project in Ciney, STRABAG Belgium was awarded the contract for the development of an extra-large site. On an undeveloped plot of land measuring 130 by 50 metres, a canopy (26 by 6 metres) in CLT, a shop (350 m²) in CLT, and a McDonald's restaurant (600 m²) were constructed.

The left section of the site fell under our framework agreement with Q8, for which we delivered the canopy, the shop, and the associated infrastructure. The right section of the site concerned the McDonald's restaurant and its adjacent infrastructure, which were delivered under a separate contract awarded by McDonald's.

The shop was delivered as a wind- and watertight shell, while the McDonald's restaurant was fully constructed by STRABAG in collaboration with ancillary contractors.

The Q8 project started in June 2025 and was completed in September 2026. The McDonald's project started in August 2025 and was already completed by the end of November 2025.

Storm & Q8 project Tielt

For the project in Tielt, STRABAG Belgium was awarded the contract for the development of a small site. On an existing site, a canopy in CLT with a green roof was constructed, covering ten charging bays.

The project in Tielt started in October 2025 and was completed in March 2026.
