Extensive offices and logistics for DSV
An impressive complex

The DSV Moerdijk project is being realised in Moerdijk, a large-scale logistics and office complex, part of which has already been completed. The project comprises a three-storey office building of approximately 1,450 m², ten distribution halls with a total footprint of approximately 158,000 m², a mezzanine floor of approximately 40,000 m², a parking deck above the mezzanine floors, a curtain wall of more than 750 metres and a cross dock.

Our client, Bouwbedrijf Vrolijk, asked Pelecon to further develop the detailed design into the final design documents, with the aim of optimising the construction. The project was characterised by its enormous scale and the complexity of the repetition of unique halls. The parking deck above the mezzanine and the curtain wall in particular posed structural challenges.

Optimised construction – that's what we do best
Thanks to close collaboration with Bouwbedrijf Vrolijk and subcontractors ADS Ertner for the steelwork and B-Smart for the foundations, Pelecon was able to optimise the construction quickly and efficiently, ensuring that the design is both functional and future-proof. This collaboration increased the client's effectiveness and enabled the halls and office spaces to be delivered to a high standard.

Successful realisation
Although the project did not have any explicit sustainability ambitions such as a BREEAM score, it provides DSV with large distribution halls in a prime location, ready for rental or own use, significantly improving business operations and flexibility. The project demonstrates that large, complex logistics and office projects can be successfully realised through effective collaboration between the client, contractor and structural engineer.

The crucial role of Pelecon – the invisible force
The project is too large to be realised by Vrolijk's engineering team alone; Pelecon's role as structural engineer was crucial in efficiently translating the design into a robust, feasible construction.
