We work out a project from A to Z. Most projects are new buildings to be used as offices, residential buildings and homes but we do also a lot of industrial buildings. We also have the know-how to make precast designs for every building or construction, set ready for production. Owner Eribo Architect Wim Embo General Contractor Stadsbader Engineering Office Abicon nv Construction Period 04/2016 - 07/2017 The project consists of a new office building with an industrial hall. The two-storey office is 100 m long. The terrain is not flat, so in the lowest part, a third storey is added. The front side of the first floor is entirely in glass. The part under the first floor is a parking space, the rest is a joinery and storage. First, a 3D model was made in SCIA Engineer with all the columns and beams. Then, load panels were added so we could get all the reactions and internal forces in the beams and columns. Also determined were the deformations of the columns due to wind load and deformations of all the beams. Lastly, the model was used for the calculations of the steel connections. In this project, due to the glass used in the front side, the deformations must be as small as possible. Additionally, timber was used in the construction because no columns were allowed on the left side.
