On the outskirts of Gouda, on the De Goudse Poort industrial estate, the impressive LC1220 logistics centre was recently constructed. Pelecon worked on this project on behalf of Heembouw, which was successfully completed in 2025. With a logistics hall of over 23,500 square metres, a mezzanine of 2,385 square metres and an office space of 1,717 square metres, the building is a prime example of smart engineering and future-oriented construction.

The client asked Pelecon to design the steel structure and also to assess third-party components. The emphasis was on creating a solid, efficient and sustainable structure that perfectly matched the architectural design by Heembouw Architects.

Construction challenges
The shape of the façade, with its undulating canopy, required careful coordination between architecture and construction. Fire resistance requirements also influenced the design; the entire block of offices (at the front) presented an additional challenge in terms of ensuring stability and safety. In addition, the prefab cores had to remain stable independently during the temporary construction phase, which made the project even more complex and required smart, constructive solutions.
