We are an independent engineering company, working in the fields of concrete, steel and timber structures. Our office designs, calculates, draws and details a wide range of structures for residential and commercial constructions, industrial constructions, shops, monuments, renovations and repairing building damage. We support the principal end design partners from the start, to reach an optimal, economical and durable design. Architect WilemsenU Eindhoven General Contractor Janssen Aannemers te Moergestel Engineering Office Ingenieursbureau Vander Weide - Van Bragt bv Construction Period 01/2014 - 06/2015 The project involves a luxury villa in an area with very high groundwater levels. The villa has been fully 3D designed, in the calculations as well as in the drawings. The layout of the building is a single storey above ground level complete with a basement. There are lowered floors in the basement for an indoor swimming pool and various indoor gardens. The basement construction is made of concrete and steel structures which are fully beneath the maximum groundwater level. The upper structure is made of concrete floors and steel structures. The whole building is supported by piles. The building was modelled with SCIA Engineer. The high groundwater levels in the basement result in upward forces which are absorbed by tension piles. The basement with the swimming pool has been completely designed using the SCIA software. Modelling the construction in 3D has provided great benefits. The basement with the swimming pool is set beneath the groundwater level, so groundwater creates large upwards forces in the piles. With SCIA Engineer these forces are easy to determine. By using SCIA Engineer the deflections could be accurately determined, the calculated deflections were compared with the real deflections on the building site. These deflections corresponded very well. Ingenieursbureau Vander Weide - Van Bragt bv
