Short description │
New Passage / Arcade at Tilburg Railway Station
Studies show that in the coming decennia Tilburg Central Station will have to deal with a growing
number of passengers and trains. In order to handle this increasing mobility, the complete station,
except from the monumental covering of the station with hyperbolic shells, will be subject to a facelift.
With this facelift, Tilburg will get a central station with a front and back entrance, as well as an easily
accessible platform due to wide stairways, elevators and escalators. A major part in this project is the
construction of a new 40 m-wide passage/arcade. The lack of space, the presence of many cables
and pipes, the pollution of soil and ground water and, not least, the client’s requirement that the
disruption of the train traffic should be kept to an absolute minimum made this a very complex project.
Oranjewoud conducted a study of possible structural concept and building methods which led to a
preliminary design. After the definitive design Oranjewoud also completed the specifications for this
project in December 2012. The open tender started in January 2013.
