114 Category 3: Industrial Buildings and Plants 3 New Office Building Loda - Beerse, Belgium SE Contact Jeroen Van Minnebruggen Address Ambachtstraat 33 2390 Malle, Belgium Website www.ask-romein.com Since the merger of the ASK companies and Romein Staalbouw B.V. in 2002, ASK Romein has successfully grown into one of the leading steel construction and general building companies in Western Europe. By combining our strength we are able to execute larger and more ambitious projects. We operate from three locations in Roosendaal and Vlissingen (The Netherlands), and in Malle (Belgium). From feasibility and concept development our employees design, engineer and realise projects for various segments like industry, offices, distribution centres, offshore, high rise buildings, leisure, food etc. Owner Loda Architect AID Architecten General Contractor ASK-Romein Malle Engineering Office ASK-Romein Malle Construction Period 06/2013 - 05/2014 The project involves a new building for Loda, producer of bleach and demineralized water. ASK Romein proposed using coated steel construction to meet the strict fire requirements. The building consists of a large storage hall and multiple compartments for production, water treatment and machine rooms, each separated by fireproof walls. The outside facade is built up with horizontal sandwich panels. The office space, with a cantilever span of 5 m, is suspended above the loading bay. Thanks to SCIA Engineer, the entire construction could be modelled, both in 2D and 3D. The introduction of loads and generation of load combinations is done in an efficient way. The specific problem of the cantilever in the facade was solved with rigid lattice columns. The software provided an easy insight into the effects of internal forces and stresses. In this project it was of high importance to accurately calculate the deflections and deformations. SCIA Engineer has proven to be a powerful tool for the successful completion of the project.
