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.
