ON THE FOKKER LOGISTICS PARK, DC “3D” WILL BE REALIZED RIGHT NEXT TO THE RUNWAYS OF SCHIPHOL (VIEW OF THE EAST RUNWAY AND THE AALSMEER RUNWAY). THE DC WILL BE BUILT NEXT TO THE CURRENT WAREHOUSE WHERE WE HAVE USED THE EXISTING ADJACENT FOUNDATION. THE ENTIRE FACILITY WILL HAVE A SURFACE AREA OF APPROX. 10,300 M², WHICH WILL BE USED FOR AIRFREIGHT SERVICES FROM THE BENELUX.
The building, designed by Bronsvoort Blaak Architecten BNA, meets all modern building standards and will of course be equipped with solar panels to meet the sustainability ambition. The office will have a double facade construction and a concrete floor above the living areas. This is all in view of the noise levels involved in a building right next to a runway. For the proper handling of air cargo, Jumbo and ULD docks have been applied in addition to ‘standard’ docks.
One of the unique features of this project is the short time frame in which the steel structure was worked out in 3D. Steel prices were under pressure at the time of design, so the contractor Van der Heijden Bouw en Ontwikkeling had to switch quickly.
