227 Project information Short project description Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2011 - Category 5: Special Projects Category 5: Special Projects 5 Owner Schelde Radar Keten General Contractor Iemants NV Engineering Office Ingenieursbureau Oranjewoud BV (original design Haecon & Iemants) Construction Period From 2000 to 2002 Location Nieuwpoort, Belgium The project is about alterations to the helicopter platform of the Oostdijckbank Radar Post in the Western Scheldt estuary. The radar post consists of a radar tower plus a helicopter tower. As in the future considerably heavier helicopters will be used, Oranjewoud was asked to perform a recalculation of the existing helicopter tower construction to determine if it would be possible to use the NH90 helicopter without extensive alterations to the tower. The results of the recalculation indicated that only a few components would be inadequate and Oranjewoud was asked to work out and draw up the specifications for the required alterations.
