255 X Nemetschek Structural User Contest 2013 - Category 4: Special Projects Category 4: Special Projects 4 Short description │City Hall “Kobra” The project fits the masterplan for the redesign of the central squares in the city centre of Ghent. The building is the eye-catching centrepiece of the project. It will be used for several events organised by the City of Ghent. Under the building, there is commercial space occupied by businesses such as cafés and restaurants. The design is strongly symmetrical with two ridges and asymmetrical front-façades. The hall is formed with a steel structure on concrete pylons and is covered with wood and glass. Stabilogics conducted the calculation for the complete structure through to execution. This included the processing of the drawings for the production of steel, wood, inox and glass.

Since its foundation in 2000 we are growing and are now a team of 13 people. This makes us very flexible and able to anticipate very fast what the best solution for requested projects is. With this team of experts we are also able to design and calculate very big projects. We have experience all over the world and are able to produce designs in accordance with most standards and codes: Eurocode, with all European national annexes, British standards and others. We have always put the execution of the building as the top priority. We work from design to execution, producing workshop-drawings of steel- and concrete-structures. To avoid problems on the building-site we ensure that the structure can be assembled and erected as we have designed. The strict preparation and further processing along with the great eye for details lead to efficient and smooth execution on site. With the help of Scia Engineer (all modules), complemented with self-written calculation-programs, our calculations are supported with accuracy and speed.
