PELECON,
THE INVISIBLE
FORCE

The road from dream to reality runs along challenges, tasks, and decisions. Gradually, adjustments are made, reconsidered, and adjusted where necessary. Since the creative mind sets the direction, limitations are avoided. And always the starting point is an initiative. An idea.

It is no different when designing a building. Only once the idea is turned into a concrete plan do feasibility, sustainability and practicability become important factors. The skeleton of the building, the structure, then literally supports the design. That reality makes the expertise of a building structural engineer literally vital.

Pelecon is a specialist in converting designs into concrete and feasible constructions. Almost fifty years of experience enable us to convert an initial design into reality as sharply as possible. This is mostly about technology, but we are aware that it is even more about personal contact. By working closely together and communicating directly with clients, architects and builders, the best ideas come to life. But whatever the collaboration looks like, Pelecon watches over the safety of all building users. Carefree.

Constructive, structural & innovative

Are you looking for a partner with solid structural knowledge and experience at home and abroad? Pelecon specialises in a total concept in the field of bearing and stability constructions of distribution centres, buildings, offices, shopping centres, homes, and schools.
Pelecon is the technical knowledge partner of architects, property developers and construction companies at home and abroad. With an office in the heart of Gouda and a branch right next to the A28 motorway in Amersfoort, we serve our customers f rom A to Z in the field of building structures: from design to calculation and from drawing to inspection during execution.

The feasibility of a construction is determined in the design and that is where we at Pelecon excel in. We distinguish ourselves through our knowledge, experience, and creativity.

May we work with you to achieve optimal results? We would be happy to sit down with you.

Smart construction choices at DC Nabuurs II

Smart construction choices at DC Nabuurs II

At Pelecon, everything revolves around construction optimisation, combining safety, efficiency and sustainability. It is not without reason that we say our greatest strength is invisible to the eye. Following the successful completion of Nabuurs I (2023), we were asked to collaborate with Heembouw architects on the design for DC Nabuurs II in Haps. Together with Heembouw and other partners, we have realised a modern logistics centre for the user Foot Locker. With our expertise in steel structures, we translated the client's wishes into a solid and future-proof construction that is both functional and economically efficient.

The distribution centre covers a huge area with a warehouse, mezzanine and office space. Completed in 2024, the building combines functionality with flexibility, enabling it to respond optimally to the operational needs of the user. During the follow-up phase, the client opted to comply with the stricter FM Global guidelines, which determine water accumulation, snow and wind loads. Whereas the increased load often leads to heavier structures, Pelecon was able to minimise the additional use of steel through targeted calculations, ensuring that the building remained safe without unnecessary material loss.

LC1220 Gouda

LC1220 Gouda

On the outskirts of Gouda, on the De Goudse Poort industrial estate, the impressive LC1220 logistics centre was recently constructed. Pelecon worked on this project on behalf of Heembouw, which was successfully completed in 2025. With a logistics hall of over 23,500 square metres, a mezzanine of 2,385 square metres and an office space of 1,717 square metres, the building is a prime example of smart engineering and future-oriented construction.

The client asked Pelecon to design the steel structure and also to assess third-party components. The emphasis was on creating a solid, efficient and sustainable structure that perfectly matched the architectural design by Heembouw Architects.

Construction challenges
The shape of the façade, with its undulating canopy, required careful coordination between architecture and construction. Fire resistance requirements also influenced the design; the entire block of offices (at the front) presented an additional challenge in terms of ensuring stability and safety. In addition, the prefab cores had to remain stable independently during the temporary construction phase, which made the project even more complex and required smart, constructive solutions.

Sustainable expansion of the Rode Kruis Hospital

Sustainable expansion of the Rode Kruis Hospital

With a focus on technical challenges and innovative solutions, Pelecon worked with various partners to realise the expansion of the Rode Kruis Hospital in Beverwijk. Commissioned by Medexs BV, a complex project was brought to a successful conclusion, combining structural precision, sustainability and efficiency.

The extension of the Rode Kruis Hospital consists of four floors with a total surface area of over 9,000 m², directly linked to the existing building on Vondellaan. Each floor was given a clear function: the ground floor houses the emergency room and ambulance hall, the first floor houses radiology, the second floor contains the new operating rooms and the third floor is equipped for technical services. The roof was also given a green design, which contributes to both sustainability and a more pleasant living environment.
