Short description │
Industrial Hall and Offices Lely Maassluis
Along the A20 highway at Maassluis in the Netherlands a new innovative international head office,
R&D centre and production hall for the Lely group has been implemented. The new building, designed
by Consort Architects, is expected to be completed by mid-2013. The project includes a warehouse
with parking space on the roof and three connecting office buildings with showrooms, conference
rooms and a company restaurant.
The project illustrates the power of integrated design in a special way. From the crawl space up to the
parking deck, at every level of the building it is evident that the various disciplines in the design and
construction team have worked together closely for the best, most durable and fastest results.

Since its inception in 1960 IMd Raadgevende Ingenieurs [consulting engineers] has remained totally
independent and has had no commercial ties with manufacturers, subcontractors, contractors or
developers who could influence the making of unbiased and unrestrained recommendations. The
company dedicates its activities to making recommendations in the field of structural engineering.
The company has experience in working on projects in which the structural engineer is expected to do
more than merely make calculations and drawings. An active input of the structural design in the design
phase specifically leads to an economically feasible plan. IMd’s aspiration is to ensure that the client
gets a functional and beautiful building, the architect can realise ‘his design’, all the consultants achieve
their best performances and the contractor can build quickly and easily.
