This ambition inspired Pelecon! Mack explains that Pelecon was therefore happy to collaborate on the plans and execution for this project. "In a team including architects, contractors and suppliers of all materials, we advised on the more than 100 tonnes of steel, the laminated roof beams and around 4,000 steel bolts incorporated in the steel structure of the new departure hall of Rotterdam The Hague Airport."
Mack says that in Rotterdam The Hague Airport's existing building, which was retained, many structural modifications and improvements were made. "Pelecon was given the 'structural puzzle' of the existing building where a number of details were fixed:
1: the existing mezzanine floor that houses, among other things, Grand Café De Horizon, sits at 3.10m+ level,
2: the underlying ground floor needs an internal height of at least 2.60m+,
3: the existing storey floors are composed of a thin concrete floor resting on steel girders."
Mack continues, "we needed to get a lot of new pipework for the E, W & sprinkler installation through these existing steel beams for which more than 200 recesses had to be created. The puzzle was put together, partly due to frequent coordination between the installer Engie, contractor Volker Wessels Bouw Schiphol and Pelecon."
Pelecon is proud of the immense issue we answered for the Rotterdam The Hague Airport project in which we made a big difference within our field of expertise. The departure hall will be commissioned at the end of this year.
