Noord/Zuidlijn, Central Station Amterdam Underground station Amsterdam The project regards an adaptation of the underground station of the North/South Line of the city of Amsterdam. This station will be an integral part of the biggest public transport hub in the Netherlands and will provide transfer facilities between local, regional and international public transport systems. The underground stations’ concourse is being built under the main square in front of Amsterdam Central Station. The ground conditions formed a large difficulty, the soil profile at the site differs greatly from the characteristic Amsterdam soil profile. The location of the underground is Station Island, an artificial island that was built at the end of the nineteenth century for the construction of Amsterdam CS railway station. The island was created by filing in a channel area in the River IJ with sand. The design of the underground station at Amsterdam’s Central Station (CS) was also largely determined by local environmental constraints. The underground station is being built in front of, behind and also underneath the historic central railway station. Damage to the listed station building and delays to the different passengers and existing traffic flows are not acceptable. Used software • ESA-Prima Win, MSheet, MFoundation
