            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.
