Heijmans wins two contracts valued at more than €26 million
H
eijmans will be developing two projects under contract to Eindhoven Airport NV, namely the expansion of the terminal and the construction of a new 120-room hotel. Heijmans Non-residential Building will assume responsibility for all structural components. The value of the terminal contract is in excess of €3 million; the hotel contract is worth approximately €9 million. The logistics is an area that demands special attention particularly in view of the fact that the airport will remain in operation throughout the expansion and construction. A special phasing
and contingency plan has been prepared in close collaboration with the client. A special aspect of the realisation of the hotel is the construction technique that will be used; the building will be constructed 13 metres above ground level. In addition, Heijmans will be working on the new development and renovation of the living and care centre Jozefzorg/Satijnhof in Tilburg. The project will be carried out under contract to TBV Wonen and Stichting de Wever. The contract is valued at approximately €14 million. Visit: www.heijmans.nl
