Albert Heijn inaugurated its seventh Home Shop Center (HSC) in Bleiswijk exactly one week ago today, on 24 September. Nice to know that we also provided constructive support for Albert Heijn’s 5th HSC, which is in Amsterdam.
The new distribution centre has an area of 20,000 m² and will process 40,000 orders per week. Everything you can’t see about this building is what Pelecon has been working on. Partner at Pelecon: Mack Stolwijk talks about this great development.
"For the Home Shop Center in Bleiswijk, we provided the design of the load-bearing and stability structure. We provided an "all-in" consultancy, i.e. from design, to calculation and from drawing to control during execution. Extra attention required the indoor freezing area. The ceiling and air coolers will be suspended entirely from the rafters. When building a new hall, as is the case here, we can include that right away in the calculations."
Distribution centres are an important part of Pelecon's order book. And that will remain so for some time, Mack thinks. "We do want to continue to have a broad orientation, including in the residential construction sector."
