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.

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.

Green Mountains Logistics Park consists of four warehouses and is an immense project on the former Groenland site near the Aalsmeer runway at Schiphol Airport. The first three warehouses have been officially completed and are in use. The fourth warehouse is wind and watertight, except for the shop floor. Because the tenant did not sign until the warehouse was ready, it is now being rebuilt to meet all the requirements of this new user.

Ploeger is growing rapidly in logistics services. To this end, they have built their logistics warehouse in Harderwijk in three phases. The company is further expanding its warehouse in Harderwijk by another 11,220 m² GLA. On Bellstraat, the logistics service provider had these additional square metres added to meet the growing demand of its existing and new clients.

On 12 October, the first pile was driven in Bleiswijk for the new building for HelloFresh. The design of this new building is based on a very interesting logistics process of freezing, cooling and ambient spaces. Pelecon was engaged as structural engineer early on in the design process.

An award for the best new-build, remodelling or renovation project in the Netherlands or abroad that is carried out entirely or partly in steel: not just any award! We won that prize! The ‘New Logic III’ project in Tilburg met all the requirements that a steel award winner must meet in the “Industrial Building” category.

The National Steel Prize has existed since 1971 and is awarded every two years to five projects within five categories. These are: non-residential construction, industrial construction, residential construction, infrastructure and characteristic steel building components. Eligible projects must, among other things, be made entirely or partly of steel. The winning project New Logic III met all the requirements! Partners Pelecon structural engineers, Heembouw and Reijrink Staalconstructie, commissioned by DOKVAST (investor and developer of high-quality and sustainable real estate), developed this special project for tenant Rhenus Logistics.

As a structural engineer, we are involved in the first mechanised distribution centre of supermarket chain Albert Heijn. From this Albert Heijn distribution centre in Zaandam, more than 300 shops are supplied with fresh and perishable products twice a day.
