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.

Sustainability and circularity as a basis
Sustainability played an important role in this project. The green roof contributes to water buffering and biodiversity, while the demountable steel and floor construction offers circular possibilities. This will enable the hospital to respond easily to changing healthcare needs in the future, without costly or environmentally damaging interventions.

Strong together through collaboration
The success of this project is due to the intensive collaboration between all parties involved. With Medexs BV as the client, Bureau Huibers as the architectural designer, Jan Snel BV responsible for the execution and modular construction, and Pelecon as the structural consultant, a powerful team was formed that complemented and strengthened each other. Thanks to their combined expertise and close coordination, a complex design was realised within the desired time frame and to the required quality standards.

Structural engineer at Pelecon Ingmar Valpoort: ‘Within Pelecon, this project was carefully developed by the construction team. With our knowledge and experience, we translated the complex issues into a robust structural solution, making the hospital ready for the future.’

Pride
The result is a safe, sustainable and high-quality hospital extension that directly contributes to the care capacity and quality of the Rode Kruis Hospital. For the client, this means not only a future-proof building, but also a process in which risks were limited and efficiency was paramount.
