Fire station Rotterdam The Hague Airport
We have been working together for 20 years!

Pelecon has been doing construction work for Rotterdam The Hague Airport for 20 years. Besides the departure hall, Pelecon is also collaborating on the construction of the fire station. “We did our utmost, with respect for the design by Moen & van Oosten Architects and drawing on our broad experience, to come up with the best and most beautiful structural design possible for the fire station,” says Piet Peters of Pelecon.

Separate fire compartments
"The building consists of 2 parts; the depot and the part with different accommodation areas. The structure consists of a steel frame, steel roof and facade cladding, concrete floors on the first floor and a cast-in-place foundation on the ground floor." A total of 120 tonnes of steel have been incorporated into the building. "To prevent fire spread, separate fire compartments were created. Furthermore, we contributed to the detailing of the steel structure so that it will cause as few noise problems as possible. We also incorporated various environmentally friendly and energy-saving measures into the design."

Monitoring role
"We also have a controlling role in this project. For instance, we check whether the materials supplied by suppliers meet all requirements. We also check on site at the construction site whether important parts of the building are actually built according to the working drawings we supplied. We leave nothing to chance."
