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.”
