Meeting place at the river IJ
|
|
Amsterdam has great plans for the Oosterdokseiland. This neighborhood, close to the Central Station that formerly housed the Dutch postal service central distribution center, needs to develop into the place to be at the river IJ. The city plan calls for a multifunctional area: office buildings, housing, public facilities such as the Amsterdam public library and a conservatory, shops, a hotel, and cinemas. ARCADIS designed the parking garage that will be built beneath the seven major building structures. In addition, we designed the complicated building excavation, conducted risk analyses, and arranged permits. The nearby railway was a major concern, as construction activities cannot interfere with the railway system's operation. ARCADIS' unique rail infrastructure expertise, as well as our ability to integrate this expertise into the range of other competencies that were required for this project, was the determining factor for our winning the project.
