Adams Bouwadviesbureau is an engineering office with over 15 consulting
engineers with a passion for technique. Adams provides consultancy
services in the area of civil and structural engineering and building
management. Adams is revolutionary in the area of BIM. We bring value
to your BIM projects. It’s all about cooperation, communication and
coordination.
We are widely experienced in the field of bridges, retaining walls,
offices, housing, underground structures and schools. We primarily use
SCIA Engineer and Allplan for our projects.

Construction Period 09/2013 - 05/2104
Streektransferium Linielanding has multiple functions. It is a resting place,
landmark, viewing platform and local market. The helical road bridge
takes the passenger directly from the A27 into the nature of de Nieuwe
Hollandse Waterlinie. The concept of this subsidy project was to generate
interest in the countryside. The landmark consists of 53 steel columns of
which 23 also support the roadway. Expansion joints were only used at
the land abutments. The steel-concrete deck is integrated with steel cross
beams. The edge beams are massive HEA1000 that are bent in their
weak axis and function as a safety barrier.
SCIA Engineer was used for a 3D-model. Only a 2D-dwg was available
to import. A 3D-model was necessary to optimize the construction.
Innovation was required to realise the design with its total budget of
€1.7 million. The modules that used were steel code check and dynamics.
The challenges presented by this project are the stability of the
construction and the influence of temperature. The stability of the structure
is guaranteed due to the rigid joints between the columns and the cross
beams and the rigid joints between the columns and the foundations.
No wind bracings were allowed between the columns. The influence of
temperature was examined because of the length of the radial floor plan.
The total length of the deck is 130 m without dilatations.
