Extensive offices and logistics for DSV

Geplaatst op: 26 September 2025

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.

Hilti BIM Experience Centre

Geplaatst op: 26 September 2025

This month, Hilti’s new BIM Experience Centre will be completed in Berkel en Rodenrijs: an innovative 4,350 m² office building. The building will be the centre for knowledge sharing and innovation in digitisation in construction. Hilti’s wish was clear: a BIM Competence Centre that is Paris Proof and, where possible, built using bio-based materials. As a structural engineer, Pelecon played a key role in this.

Paris Proof construction means that a building already complies with the strict sustainability standards set out in the Paris Climate Agreement. In concrete terms, this involves a drastic reduction in energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, so that the building is future-proof for 2050. Biobased construction revolves around the use of renewable materials from natural sources – such as wood – that are less harmful to the environment and often even store CO₂.

Norit building, Amersfoort

Geplaatst op: 11 October 2023

Since 2020, Pelecon has been working with architect StudioWA! worked on the redevelopment of the old Norit building in Amersfoort. In addition to a beautiful business building, the office tower is now part of the modern, authentic Norit Campus. We do not use these superlatives for nothing, as this vibrant heart for the Isselt business park, an urban area in development, exudes luxury and even has a wonderful gym with a large membership base.

Reshift, Haarlem

Geplaatst op: 11 October 2023

CONTENT SPECIALIST RESHIFT HAS FOUND A NEW WORKPLACE WITH WORKING CAFE IN A FORMER OLD R.A.C. GARAGE ON THE NIJVERHEIDSWEG IN HAARLEM. THE BEAUTIFUL BUILDING WITH CHARACTER WAS COMPLETED IN LATE 2021. IT IS PACKED WITH STYLE ELEMENTS AND IS THEREFORE SUITABLE FOR A CREATIVE CLUB LIKE RESHIFT.

Reshift’s building was once built as a maintenance place for central government cars. Some renovation was therefore necessary. To turn this garage into a suitable home, Reshift engaged Delft-based Vakwerk Architecten for the design. Where we stepped in for the construction advice. A nice challenge soon appeared.

LIMITATIONS ARE THERE TO BE ADDRESSED
With the limitations of the existing structure, but also with concern for the preservation of the existing structure, we structurally designed the renovation and new construction plan. We advised to use durable products while preserving the existing structure as much as possible. The roof construction is a wooden beam, supported by a steel frame which is in sight, remains the same as the existing roof construction. A nice detail is that a spiral staircase was harvested from a donor building. Because of the limited working space on site, a small pile-driving rig and a light system floor on the first floor were used. Applying light lifting equipment was why a perk.

INTENSIVE PROJECT
To arrive at a good advice, we spent quite a bit of time modeling and clashing, with input from the various disciplines within the BIM model. So, our advice can be called thorough. During the construction we remained actively involved, which enabled us to adjust where necessary and allows us to say that we used our knowledge and skills in this project from A to Z. And….. the result is impressive!

Studio Anneloes

Geplaatst op: 13 April 2022

The new office building of Dicht women’s clothing brand Studio Anneloes in Amsterdam Osdorp was recently completed. Together with Heembouw Architecten and contractor Heembouw Kantoren, they took the first step for the design, after which Pelecon was soon engaged for the structural issue.

In particular, the canopy at the front of the building, but also the heart of the office where the showroom is located, needed thorough structural support. Mainly because of the limited building height from the zoning plan, a compact construction was chosen for the building, with small spans and integrated steel girders.

NVM Head Office, Papendorp Utrecht

A beautiful building, full of challenges for us as structural engineers. This is how we describe the new headquarters of the Nederlandse Coöperatieve Vereniging van Makelaars en Taxateurs in onroerende goederen (NVM).

Renova BMW en MINI, Tilburg

Geplaatst op: 24 January 2022

We have since completed many automotive assignments. For several of these assignments we have worked with partner #Mies Architectuur. For us a fine sparring partner with a lot of knowledge and where half a word is enough. This results for our client in a complete advice in which the visual and structural design fit together seamlessly.

Harders Plaza in Harderwijk

Geplaatst op: 9 December 2021

Harders Plaza in Harderwijk is a place that Pelecon knows like the back of its hand. Years ago, we provided structural advice for the transformation of the ice rink into a go-kart track with party center. This mainly concerned the parking decks that had to be placed in the old ice hockey hall in order to give the building a new function. Extra nice that we were also approached again for the constructive advice for the new building on this site. The go-kart track and conference center were demolished and made way for phase 1 of a new shopping complex.
