BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION High Speed Railway Line Amsterdam - Paris FDN has been extensively involved in the preparations for the bridge over the Hollandsch Deep River, which is the longest and most discussed bridge on the entire high-speed train line within Holland. FDN has participated not only in the drafting of preliminary designs and specifications of the bridge, but was also responsible for an in-depth risk analysis of ship collision, traveler comfort as well as a 3-dimensional analysis of the effects of ship collision on the different pier foundation designs. The bridge, which construction...

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION Pedestrian bridge, Nijmegen, The Netherlands Two brand new bridges, which are part of the project ‘Ruimte voor de Waal’, are intended to be built in Nijmegen. The bridges will connect the new island and the north bank of the city of Nijmegen. The pedestrian bridge is 240m long, which is supposed to be primarily used by pedestrians and cyclists. FDN was asked for review of initial architectural designs with the main focus on structural feasibility. The research of FDN comprised of 3D computer modelling with related research and proposals for the convenient...

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION Kapelsbrug, Delft, The Netherlands In cooperation with IBA engineering, FDN was responsible for a complete design and project management of a new bridge in Delft, which would replace old bridge from 17th century. In order to preserve historical appearance of this part of city, the side of the bridge facing the historical center remained architecturally unchanged, whilst the other side was completely rebuilt. Old Kapelsbrug - before renovation Kapelsbrug - the new bridge (outer side of the bridge) Poort van Bunnik, The Netherlands In assignment of BAM groep nv, FDN was...

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION Highway A10 Bos & Lommer viaduct, The Netherlands In assignment of the Municipality Engineering firm, FDN was responsible for the engineering of the viaduct over the A10 highway in Amsterdam. The design concerned a new viaduct between two existing viaducts over the highway A10. The building time and phases were crucial as the highway could not be closed for long periods due to heavy traffic.

TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION Tunnel Houtkade, The Netherlands FDN performed the complete engineering of a bikeand pedestrian tunnel underneath the railway of Randstadrail. FDN was responsible for the entire design of the tunnel. The tunnel deck was built next to the railway and afterwards moved to its definite position in one day. This project provided FDN Engineering with a lot of knowledge about moving and/or sliding possibilities of the concrete decks. Dordtsekil, the Netherlands In assignment of ‘HSL South-Holland-South’ FDN did research on the structural design of a tunnel for the high-speed...

TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION Project Noord/Zuidlijn tunnel Noord, Amsterdam, The Netherlands The project was assigned to FDN by the county of Amsterdam and IBA. The project consisted of detailed design of a tunnel, which runs along the NoordHollandscanaal. FDN was asked to carry out preliminary, definitive and as-built drawings. Tunnel Noord under the construction Underpass Megensebaan, Oss, The Netherlands This project is a part of the road N329 going through the province of North Brabant and Gelderland. The road will run from the traffic node Paalgraven, from Oss, to the ferry in Megen. The...

HARBOUR CONSTRUCTION Coal harbours, container harbours, yacht harbours and cruise terminals are projects, which FDN is specialised in. The FDN Group is specialised in the design of harbours, across the world, for large ships and exclusive yachts. Many governments and harbour authorities around the world are advised by FDN for realization of their projects Olympic yacht harbour, Greece The Olympic yacht harbour next to the new Olympic stadium in Athens (2004) has been designed by FDN for our client Archimedes Floating Marinas. Pontoons in Messolonghi harbour, Greece Small harbour for local...

MODULAR BRIDGES Nowadays slender structures play an important role in civil engineering. This is the reason, why material properties become more and more important. One possibility, how to make a structure slender, is to use ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete UHPFRC. FDN Engineering has developed a modular bridge from the UHPFRC. This project has won the prestigious fib concrete association award “most outstanding concrete structures in the world”. One of the reasons for this project is to satisfy increasing demand for replacing of old existing bridges, which are scattered...

FLOATING CONSTRUCTION Floating recreational building, Wessem, The Netherlands FDN is a specialist in floating concrete structures and has designed a floating recreational building in Wessem, The Netherlands. The floating building is relatively large in order to accommodate facilities such as harbour offices, a restaurant and multiple areas for recreational activities. Architectural impression of the floating building Erection of the steel structure Floating buildings in IJburg, The Netherlands In co-operation with Mylos BV, FDN has been the lead structural engineer for the floating building...
