Intralox LLC Europe, Hoofddorp

WE ARE FREQUENTLY CALLED IN BY ARCHITECTS TO ADVISE ON CONSTRUCTION DURING THE DESIGN PHASE. ULTIMATELY, OF COURSE, THAT BEAUTIFUL BUILDING MUST ALSO BE SAFE FOR ITS USERS. ARCHITECT DENC ASKED US AT AN EARLY STAGE OF THE ASSIGNMENT TO MAKE A STRUCTURAL DESIGN FOR INTRALOX LLC EUROPE’S NEW BUILDING. INTRALOX HAD THE AMBITION TO MOVE FROM AMSTERDAM TO SCHIPHOL TRADE PARK AND DEVELOP A EUROPEAN HEADQUARTERS WITH A PRODUCTION HALL.

Intralox is a global provider of transportation solutions for moving the most critical products. The company supplies a variety of industries: from the food processing industry to postal and parcel distribution. Schiphol Trade Park in Hoofddorp fits Intralox’s needs well, especially the central location and therefore good accessibility offer advantages. However, Schiphol Trade Park’s high sustainability ambitions also align with Intralox’s core values.

INVOLVED FROM DESIGN TO DELIVERY
Pelecon was involved in this project from the design phase, from engineering to execution. This means that in addition to calculation and drawing, we offered intensive guidance during construction. We maintained contact with the builder and performed inspections of the steel construction. This is a two-story office with a luxurious appearance with an attached production and logistics hall 9.5 m high and a 20 m high warehouse section. The hall and warehouse consist of a complete steel skeleton with trusses and rolling beams in the roof. The office consists of a steel structure with hollow-core slabs.

OUR STRUCTURAL CHALLENGE
In particular, the seamless transition from the production hall to the high-rise warehouse with as few obstructions as possible and the open structure in the hall and office, with consequently also little possibility for stabilizing elements, created structural challenges. The result is high trusses to allow for fewer columns and heavy vertical bracing with relatively high tensile and compressive forces on the foundation.

The new building was completed in June 2023.
