SUSTAINABLE, MULTIFUNCTIONAL AND FLEXIBLE: THE NEW PRODUCTION AND STORAGE SITE FOR M&G GROUP IN ASSEN CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THE STRENGTH OF PELECON STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS IN THE FIELD OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING. WE WERE INVOLVED BY DEVELOPER BORGHESE LOGISTICS AT A VERY EARLY STAGE OF THE PROJECT IN ORDER TO INCORPORATE THE DEVELOPER’S AND END USER’S PROGRAMME OF REQUIREMENTS INTO THE BUILDING IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY. BUT ALSO TO ENSURE MAXIMUM USABILITY. NOW AND TOWARDS THE FUTURE.

“Our cooperation with Borghese Logistics, architect Mies Architecture and contractor Pleijsier Bouw goes back many years,” says Mack Stolwijk. “We know what to expect from each other. Moreover, we are well acquainted with each other’s strengths and preferences. For example, because Pleijsier Bouw has a preference for steel, we engineered a steel skeleton in combination with a steel roof and hollow-core slabs. Big advantage of this combination is that construction can be done very quickly and directly from the truck.”

FOR OUR CLIENT BIEZE FOOD GROUP, WE WERE ALLOWED TO ADVISE ON YET ANOTHER PHASE 3 OF THE EXPANSION OF THEIR REFRIGERATION AND FREEZER LOGISTICS IN NIJKERK. AN ASSIGNMENT WHERE WE CAN PUT OUR SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE TO FULL USE, AS THE CONSTRUCTION FOR A FREEZER HALL IS SPECIAL.

The floor of a cold store is always constructed as a double floor, with heating in the lower foundation to prevent freezing through. This is followed by a thick layer of insulation and a top floor on which heavy racking can be placed. This latter floor shrinks as soon as the freezing machines (condensers) are switched on. At -25 degrees, the floor shortens by as much as several centimeters.

SPECIALISM
Pelecon specializes in refrigerated and frozen logistics. The Bieze Food Group is a loyal customer of Pelecon who likes to make use of this specialist knowledge. Once completed, their optimally developed logistics hotspot enables them to safely store, process and then transport their food in chilled condition.

For this assignment, we worked together with van Bokhorst Architects and contractor Dijkham Bouw; both from Nijkerk.

For our client Vida-XL, we calculated the structure of their new distribution center in Horst aan de Maas. This concerns phase 4 of the storage building of over 150,000 m² GLA on a footprint of 123,000 m² in total. What is unique is the size of the building together with the logistics bridge, which connects phase 3 to phase 4 over the public road.

Green Mountains Logistics Park, Schiphol

Green Mountains Logistics Park consists of four warehouses and is an immense project on the former Groenland site near the Aalsmeer runway at Schiphol Airport. The first three warehouses have been officially completed and are in use. The fourth warehouse is wind and watertight, except for the shop floor. Because the tenant did not sign until the warehouse was ready, it is now being rebuilt to meet all the requirements of this new user.

The number of orders is increasing, while the volume of orders is decreasing. A fully mechanised bin warehouse is a good solution for this, thought CB (formerly Centraal Broekhuis). They asked Denc and Pelecon to help think about the construction of the new high bay warehouse. We made all the main calculations, plan model and construction drawings.
