Since the merger of the ASK companies and Romein Staalbouw B.V. in
2002, ASK Romein has successfully grown into one of the leading steel
construction and general building companies in Western Europe.
By combining our strength we are able to execute larger and more
ambitious projects. We operate from three locations in Roosendaal and
Vlissingen (The Netherlands), and in Malle (Belgium). From feasibility
and concept development our employees design, engineer and realise
projects for various segments like industry, offices, distribution centres,
offshore, high rise buildings, leisure, food etc.

Construction Period 06/2013 - 05/2014
The project involves a new building for Loda, producer of bleach
and demineralized water. ASK Romein proposed using coated steel
construction to meet the strict fire requirements.
The building consists of a large storage hall and multiple compartments
for production, water treatment and machine rooms, each separated by
fireproof walls. The outside facade is built up with horizontal sandwich
panels. The office space, with a cantilever span of 5 m, is suspended
above the loading bay.
Thanks to SCIA Engineer, the entire construction could be modelled,
both in 2D and 3D. The introduction of loads and generation of load
combinations is done in an efficient way.
The specific problem of the cantilever in the facade was solved with rigid
lattice columns. The software provided an easy insight into the effects of
internal forces and stresses.
In this project it was of high importance to accurately calculate the
deflections and deformations. SCIA Engineer has proven to be a powerful
tool for the successful completion of the project.
