211 Project information Short project description Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2011 - Category 5: Special Projects Category 5: Special Projects 5 Owner Gemeente Utrecht Architect ONL [Oosterhuis_Lénárd] Engineering Office ARCADIS Nederland BV Construction Period From 2011 to ... Location A2 Haarrijn, Utrecht, The Netherlands This project is about the structural design of a sound barrier along highway A2 near Utrecht. The 1.8 km long and 12 m high structure consists of a space frame of steel tubes. Because the BIM concept was adopted from architectural design via structural design to steel production (file to factory) repetition of elements is not necessary which gives maximum freedom of design and optimisation. The entire structure was imported in Scia Engineer using XML. The geometry was optimized for construction costs and designed for strength, stability and stiffness. This provides our client as well as the public with an exciting structure at minimum costs. Sound Barrier Haarrijn A2 Utrecht, The Netherlands
