Construction Period 01/2015 - 01/2016
The project is situated on Tabaksvest in the city of Antwerp. On the
site several existing buildings were demolished to make space for a
new residential building containing 35 apartments and 3 commercial
stores spread over 7 floor levels. A two-level parking basement provides
33 parking spaces. Due to the fact that the building is situated in between
other existing buildings, the basement design was particularly complex.
SCIA Engineer was used to calculate all the structural elements (floor
slabs, concrete and steel beams, concrete walls and columns and the
foundation).
The entire building was then modelled in 3D using Allplan. This design
process exposed conflicts between architectural and structural design
early in the project. After making the necessary adaptations to both
structure and architecture the rebar reinforcements were modelled using
Allplan’s Engineering module.
As a result of the sloped floor slabs and the more complex geometry of
the basement we were dependant on an effective CAD program to create
a correct set of plans and rebar documents. Allplan Engineering fulfilled
this requirement.
