SUSTAINABLE, MULTIFUNCTIONAL AND FLEXIBLE: THE NEW PRODUCTION AND STORAGE SITE FOR M&G GROUP IN ASSEN CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THE STRENGTH OF PELECON STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS IN THE FIELD OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING. WE WERE INVOLVED BY DEVELOPER BORGHESE LOGISTICS AT A VERY EARLY STAGE OF THE PROJECT IN ORDER TO INCORPORATE THE DEVELOPER’S AND END USER’S PROGRAMME OF REQUIREMENTS INTO THE BUILDING IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY. BUT ALSO TO ENSURE MAXIMUM USABILITY. NOW AND TOWARDS THE FUTURE.
“Our cooperation with Borghese Logistics, architect Mies Architecture and contractor Pleijsier Bouw goes back many years,” says Mack Stolwijk. “We know what to expect from each other. Moreover, we are well acquainted with each other’s strengths and preferences. For example, because Pleijsier Bouw has a preference for steel, we engineered a steel skeleton in combination with a steel roof and hollow-core slabs. Big advantage of this combination is that construction can be done very quickly and directly from the truck.”

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.

Since the end of last year, we have been working as main structural engineer for Tyson Foods. They are building a new factory in Oosterwolde totaling 4,500 m2. Here they are building their fast-growing portfolio of protein-focused brands. That means we’re not just building any factory here, but one where food safety is very important. To which Tyson’s customers in particular also attach great importance. That also makes demands on the construction. The large amount of air treatment requires heavy cabinets on the structure. Such freezer halls are a real speciality of Pelecon Amersfoort. If it is -25 degrees inside, that makes specific demands on the structure.

Maarssen is home to the Meijers family’s metal industry Qumey. Some 50 years ago, they built their first building on Handelsweg in Maarssen. In recent years, the company has grown steadily, making expansion of the premises inevitable. Three modern production halls were therefore added and the office area was substantially expanded. A whole that meets all ultramodern requirements of today and the future!

The new office building of Dicht women’s clothing brand Studio Anneloes in Amsterdam Osdorp was recently completed. Together with Heembouw Architecten and contractor Heembouw Kantoren, they took the first step for the design, after which Pelecon was soon engaged for the structural issue.
In particular, the canopy at the front of the building, but also the heart of the office where the showroom is located, needed thorough structural support. Mainly because of the limited building height from the zoning plan, a compact construction was chosen for the building, with small spans and integrated steel girders.

We have since completed many automotive assignments. For several of these assignments we have worked with partner #Mies Architectuur. For us a fine sparring partner with a lot of knowledge and where half a word is enough. This results for our client in a complete advice in which the visual and structural design fit together seamlessly.

The new distribution center in Echt-Susteren has been delivered to P3 Logistic Parks and clearly shows what Pelecon structural engineers can do in the field of building structures. The structural engineering consultancy with offices in Gouda and Amersfoort was involved in this project from the early stages by Dokvast and Heembouw Architects. Pelecon is responsible for the calculations, drawings and inspection of the complete steel structure.

Harders Plaza in Harderwijk is a place that Pelecon knows like the back of its hand. Years ago, we provided structural advice for the transformation of the ice rink into a go-kart track with party center. This mainly concerned the parking decks that had to be placed in the old ice hockey hall in order to give the building a new function. Extra nice that we were also approached again for the constructive advice for the new building on this site. The go-kart track and conference center were demolished and made way for phase 1 of a new shopping complex.

For our client Vida-XL, we calculated the structure of their new distribution center in Horst aan de Maas. This concerns phase 4 of the storage building of over 150,000 m² GLA on a footprint of 123,000 m² in total. What is unique is the size of the building together with the logistics bridge, which connects phase 3 to phase 4 over the public road.
