VDL De Meeuw has built an impressive logistics hub to optimise construction and renovation projects at Schiphol Airport.<\/h2>\n\n

This hub, which covers about 130,000 square metres south of the airport, offers space to accommodate people, equipment, vehicles and construction materials. This site will enable Schiphol to effectively implement its future plans. As part of this project, VDL De Meeuw completed four main buildings: three office buildings and a porter\u2019s cabin with a training area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n

Strict timeline and noise reduction measures<\/h2>\n\n

The biggest challenge in this project was the strict (noise) requirements and the tight time schedule. Katrien van Eijck, Account Manager at VDL De Meeuw, explains: \u201cWe delivered the first two buildings within a month. The other two buildings followed 14 days later.\u201d Noise reduction measures were crucial because of the low-flying aircraft. The requirements could be met by installing attenuated ventilators and other sound insulation measures. \u201cAfter submitting the initial request, a quote was sent within four days. And three weeks later the first building was installed,\u201d Katrien said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Extension including a canteen and meeting room<\/h2>\n\n

To expand the logistics hub, VDL De Meeuw also designed, installed and delivered a large canteen within four months. This building, covering an area of 527 square metres, can accommodate 200 people and features a high-quality finish with PVC flooring. The all-glass meeting room creates a sense of openness and transparency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have found working with VDL De Meeuw to be a very pleasant experience; the company is flexible. They are proactive and keep a close eye on the whole process.\u201d<\/h6>\n\n

Comfort and safety<\/h2>\n\n

The installations in the canteen are designed to provide users with all the comfort they need. The building is heated and cooled via a VRF system and features mechanical ventilation. To prevent noise pollution from the nearby runways, special soundproofing measures have been taken, such as a suspended spring ceilings, extra sealant for gaps and attenuated ventilators. The building is also equipped with an intrusion alarm, a fire alarm and an evacuation system, all contributing to increased security.<\/p>\n\n

Stringent safety requirements and procedures<\/h2>\n\n

Strict safety procedures had to be followed during construction to ensure the safety of both people and aircraft. Despite these challenges, VDL De Meeuw managed to meet the tight four-month schedule without any compromise on quality.<\/p>\n\n

This comprehensive project demonstrates just how flexibly and efficiently VDL De Meeuw can work. And with its eye for detail and safety, it has made a positive contribution to Schiphol’s plans for the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
