Owner MN and Iris Vastgoed Architect Van den Pauwert en Lichtstad Architecten General Contractor Van den Burght Bouw Engineering Office Heijmans & Partners ingenieurs Construction Period 2015 - 2018 The two residential blocks have been realised in Waalwijk according to the urban design of Kuiper Compagnons. The transparent entrance gives both buildings a clear eye catching portal. The main structure is formed by horizontal and vertical lines. The buildings are partly based on foundation slabs and partly on a basement. The ground level is significantly different from the upper floors and mainly consists of concrete columns with beams of steel. The precast balconies are attached to the floor slabs by an insulated connection. We used SCIA Engineer for several reasons. It gave us a good picture of the forces in the floor slabs. Besides that, we wanted to get a whole picture of the ground pressure under the foundation. SCIA Engineer helped us also to double check the construction. We exported and imported everything by IFC. Allplan was used for modelling of the construction and the reinforcement. The powerful tools of SCIA Engineer helped us to develop a reinforcement plan. In this case, it was very important to keep the ground pressure under the foundation everywhere more or less the same. The output of SCIA Engineer made it easy to level the forces. SCIA Engineer has many tools which helps us double check on safety and to guarantee a well thought out construction. Together with Allplan, it gave us the opportunity to get a detailed model.
