Viadukt Mérnöki és Kereskedelmi Szolgåltató Kft. has been awarded the contract, following a public procurement procedure, to build the 100-space Marina car park near Tokaj town centre. The development of this state-of-the-art car park and leisure area is being carried out on behalf of Waldzell Kft.. The road link connecting to the existing main road will be widened, and a pay-and-display car park system with barriers will be installed. The news was reported by magyarepitok.hu and is linked to Tokaj Marina project, which aims to create a modern, waterside tourism and community centre on the banks of the Bodrog.
Development of a waterfront community and tourist hub: the long-term plan
Two twin charging points will be installed in the car park, which will be capable of charging four electric vehicles simultaneously. The works also include the installation of public lighting in the car park, as well as providing the power supply for the service and design elements.
As well as creating civilised and safe parking conditions, the development also paves the way for further phases of the project. Future plans include the creation of a water sports centre on the banks of the Bodrog, where a passenger boat harbour and boat hire facilities (kayaks, canoes, SUPs, rowing boats) would be available to locals and tourists seeking active leisure. Further plans also include establishing the necessary conditions for the operation of catering services. In addition to street food, guests will be welcomed with Tokaj wines.
Hellowood light funnels define the look of the rest area
In the current phase of the development programme, a car park, as well as a waiting and rest area, are being constructed. The main visual features of these will be the âlight funnelsâ â arranged in an openwork composition and built from a glued-laminated timber support structure â created by Hellowood.
In a subsequent phase of development, retail, toilet and catering containers â mounted on ground screws and fitted with designer cladding â will be installed in the vicinity of the light installation.
Preparations are also underway for coastal defences
One of the key technical aspects of the project is protecting the car park against erosion. In those sections where the route of the Bodrog riverside promenade runs close to the outer boundary of the car park, plans are in place to construct an underground retaining wall.
Grass pavers and large-leaved trees make the area greener
The car park areas will be paved with concrete grass pavers, which, as well as being practical, allow for a greener surface. An irrigation system will also be installed to maintain this. In accordance with the regulations, the landscaping will include the planting of trees: one tree must be planted for every six parking spaces. Consequently, at least 18 large-leaved trees â early maple and common birch â will be planted during the construction work.
The parking bays will be separated by 1.5-metre-wide green areas.Â
