Deltares is an independent technological institute that works on solutions and innovations in the field of water, subsurface, and infrastructure. With 800 employees, the institute focuses on river deltas, coastal regions, and river areas.
To improve efficiency, the research facility at Utrecht Science Park is being relocated to the Deltares campus in Delft. Deltares has the need to establish a Chemical Biological Laboratory on its own premises in Delft for applied research purposes. The Chemical Biological and Physical Laboratory (CBFL) will encompass approximately 1,600 square meters of gross floor area and consist of three floors. The building will be equipped with laboratories and associated support spaces. The execution of this project includes both construction, electrical, and mechanical works.
Stevens Van Dijck is responsible for project management in this project.
The development of the CBF laboratory aims to achieve the following objectives:
• Providing a wide range of instruments, methods, and research opportunities for determining the (geo)physical and biological characteristics of water sediments, groundwater mixtures, industrial slurries, and ores. The laboratory supports all groups within Deltares in their advisory and research work.
• Approximately 7 full-time equivalents (FTEs) will be employed in the building.
The building will be an ‘addition’ to the adjacent existing property, called ‘Sigma.’ Breakthroughs will be made towards ‘Sigma’ to connect both volumes. Sigma will remain in use throughout the entire construction phase of the CBFL.
The new laboratory has been developed as new construction rather than an extension. As a result, it will function completely independently with its own facilities and a separate entrance. The laboratory has been designed in such a way that it can be expanded in the future by constructing a similar building next to it.
The structure consists of a pile foundation on which the concrete foundation is provided. Construction will continue from the ground floor using prefab elements and hollow-core slab systems. The top floor is constructed with a steel frame.
The exterior of the building will be finished with a sustainable (wooden) bamboo cladding.
