Advice from the design phase through to detailed structural calculations

In Veenendaal, the Jan Zandbergen Group has built a new food development centre. Zandbergen is a European player in meat and vegetable meat substitutes. In which innovative developments are the order of the day. Their growing ambition and place within the market created the need for a new development location. Thanks to Pelecon’s long-standing relationship with the Jan Zandbergen Group, we were also engaged for this project as consultants from the design phase through to the detailed calculations of the construction.

Because Pelecon was involved with all parties concerned from the very beginning of this assignment, we had a lot of influence on the supporting structure, says Eelco Kingma. The challenge was to make the car park as user-friendly as possible. That means that the supporting structure is optimal and that the column structure of the superstructure is geared to this.

Support structure as hollow-core slabs
Eelco explains that one of the recommendations made by Pelecon was to design the load-bearing structure as hollow-core slabs with top hat beams, which means there are no obstacles for installations. "For stability, prefabricated facade elements were used on three facades, so that floor plans can be arranged freely. During execution, Pelecon provided detailed calculations of the steel structure and precast façade elements in addition to the structural design."

Eelco says that the cooperation during the design phase with Van Bronkhorst Architecten BNA and Dijkham Bouw from Nijkerk was very pleasant; "we therefore look back on a successful construction process"!
